Please...just stop! That is what I'm hoping that this doesn't reek of!

Ballard and Reich just got their Alshon Jeffrey. Colts and Orioles, you have my permission to bump this at various points this season.

Place holder.
You're reading all of this based solely on the fact that its a one year deal? How do you know it was the Colts that proposed the deal? Maybe Funchess wanted a year away from the Panthers to show what he's capable of. Your argument on this was better with Grant. This is the first day of possible negotiations, after all, so its not like Funchess was floundering on the free agent market without a destination and had to accept the Colts proposal. I find it hard to believe that Ballard would sign a guy for $10-13M as a placeholder.

Yes, obviously he wanted to play with Andy.

Meh, he is only 24, but he wasn't that great with Carolina. I think Luck is a better thrower than Cam and his numbers should go up some. 10 mill is a little high, but one year. Seems like a stop gap till one of the draft picks develop. I wonder if we will spend two picks on receivers again this year.

Funchess will get 60 catches, 800 yards, and 5 TDs next year, which is what Jeffrey has averaged over the last 4 seasons.
