ET80 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Pastor Dillon said: I figured you would be excited about Nick Martin getting cut I couldn't care less, if we're being honest. Even with the cut, it's offset by discussions on keeping David Johnson. The only way you can lower Johnson's cap hit is extending him, converting his salary to a signing bonus and stretching that out over however many years you keep him. David Johnson was horrible last season - so it's clear he's being kept because he's liked by someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 We are gonna have potentially 40 million in cap space this off season. I suspect we sign a lot of small 1 year deals unless we really are gonna trade Watson. If we trade Watson, I bet we just go really young, tank next year and look to be a full rebuild. If we can get 3 or 4 1sts for Watson and draft a young QB, the new head coach in 2023 will have a solid foundation to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY OTHER TEAM KNEW HE WAS OVERPAID... it is d@mn near laughable how bad the FO was / is (prove me wrong, Nick) Oh yeah... that MF cost us one of the Colts' games last year... He's laughing all the way to the bank. Bet he signs with the Cowpokes to play with his brother on a cheap contract cause he has that Texans' SB to offset 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's better than when he was the highest paid RB in the division - yes, more than Derrick Henry. I'm sincerely waiting for a single moment when I can say "that was a good decision" from this regime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Johnson deal isn’t terrible. It’s just 2 million more in guaranteed money and drops his cap hit 3-4 million. I’d like to see what incentives his deal has since over a million is not guaranteed. johnson is mainly viewed in such a bad light because of the trade he was involved in but he had 1,005 yards and 8 TDs rush/receive last year. Not too shabby. RB is still a need in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not terrible, but for him potentially earning over $6 million, I feel like we're overpaying for very limited potential. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His deal is only 4 million guaranteed so he must have incentives that push him to 6. We can cut him after camp and it only costs us an extra 2 million versus what he was scheduled to make if we cut him in the first place. It’s a 2 million dollar risk that he can be a decent RB next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
