I thought that a lot of the players didn't like Gettlemen in Carolina?

Wow, this appears to be drying up pretty quickly:

@RapSheet
The #Chiefs are now adding a big weapon on defense: They plan to sign former #Cowboys LB Anthony Hitchens to a deal worth $9M per year, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.

He is not that good anyway.

That sucks. 5 years $66.5 million supposedly (not sure the guaranteed number)

They won't be able to keep that team together very long at all then. They will have a lot of contracts coming up and a lot of their defensive guys will deserve a big pay day.

Much better than Antonio Morrison.

Then again, you’re probably better than Antonio Morrison.

Does anyone do a budget for their household? Paying $15MM/year for Norwell is like buying a Lamborghini and having to shop at Walmart.

You're full of dumb comparisons. The cap goes up every year and we've already signed our franchise QB to a huge contract. By the time Norwell's contract even looked like it could one day be a problem the cap will have gone up over $200M and once again the team would've been fine.

But it doesn't matter because instead the best team in our division, with way less cap space and 5x the blue chip players on their roster, is signing him to a contract that we easily could've beaten. Ballard pissed away the chance to sign a good guard or tackle last year when there were multiple options. And now we're missing out on the biggest and clearest OL upgrade when we have what, the 2nd most cap space in the league? None of the other OL options are even close to Norwell's level.

New GM, new coach, 26 games missed by Luck, and we are still dicking around with the OL. We now have to go OL early in the draft.

Speaking of our GM, I’m starting to wonder just how good he is. Does anyone think that Irsay might be having a negative effect on free agents signing with the Colts ??

I'm not ready to question him too hard yet, FA for this team was pretty good last season, and I was happy with the draft. The McDaniels situation made him look kind of stupid but we ended up with Reich, who could prove to be the better HC.

It is just going to suck watching Norwell stuff our guys twice a year, while Luck runs for his life against the Jaguars pass rush.
