I forgot about that... Gotta root against the Dolphins for 17 games. 

That move by Howie to pick a first plus still get the receiver he wanted was pure gold. I often criticize Howie, but I have to give him credit for that.

No what’s sad is how much you worship captain bootfoot.

The real interesting question will be what the Colts do with Wentz.  In all likelihood, he won't hit his 70% snap threshold...disappointing for us, sure, but also frustrating for the Colts.  They aren't going to want to pay out that contract for a guy that just isn't reliably on the field.  Wentz will play better than 2020, worse than 2017.  You can probably bet the farm on that.

That's not going to be enough for the Colts to feel great about committing to him in 2022.

Kind of think the Colts are with wentz at least through 2022 unless when he comes back he looks awful like he did in 2020. He has a cap hit of 27 mil next year. If they cut him pre or post June 1st (according to over the cap) it’s 15 mil dead money and 12 mil cap savings (could deal him get all 27 mil in savings but would likely have to find a suitor coming off the things you’ve said which could or couldn’t happen)

I think the Eagles dead cap number eats up nearly all the guaranteed money. So basically even if Wentz hits his "guaranteed” roster bonuses those are basically cap number jumps. If the Colts walk away they will not count as dead money against their cap.

The problem is, it's a WR he wanted which has been the thorn in the Eagles side lol

True. 😂 Same could be said about the DE he wanted, OL he wanted, DB he wanted, QB he wanted, and RB he wanted too. 😂

Don’t feel too bad. The Dolphins could fall back to earth and as such still give the Eagles a top ten pick, and if Hurts is as bad as everyone (Wentz apologist) claim he is then the Eagles could have two top ten picks. 

One of the great things about having an entirely new coaching staff is that you and others should hopefully be able to evaluate Hurts’ performance without automatically defaulting to criticize Wentz — and vice versa.

I’m only going off of over the cap and spotrac. If you have that in concrete wording post it. But based off both spotrac and over the cap that’s the Colts situation (spotrac actually has it as 20 mil in dead money)

It doesn't. He has parts of his base salary that guaranteed on certain dates. 

 His 2022 salary will partially vest on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year with the balance guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2022 league year.

You’re right about this season. They do have a dead hit for this season. My bad. So they’re stuck with him for this season.

Yeah from what I’ve seen by spotrac it’s 27 cap number and 20 mil to release him in 2022 offseason. And over the cap it’s 15 dead and 12 mil savings regardless of when they release him. If they trade him according to over the cap they save all 27 mil. 

the specifics of the contract so he has some that becomes guaranteed on he 3rd day of the league year in 2022 (probably the difference in spotrac and over the cap’s 20 and 15 mil dead money: "His 2022 salary will partially vest on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year with the balance guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2022 league year. Wentz' has roster bonuses in each of the last two seasons of the contract”.

I wish we had a kicker! Howie gave guaranteed money to a friggin kicker. The Eagles are stuck with a guy who can’t kick and from what I’ve been hearing about TC he’s not off to a good start either.

This is basically stating the Colts have no guaranteed money after the 2021 season. This year they do, but can walk away anytime after this season unless they restructure him and I doubt they would do that, but you never know.

Im talking about 2022. Both spotrac and over the cap has dead money regardless of release pre or post June first. He had part of his 2022 salary guaranteed being on the team 3rd day of 2021. And the rest on 3rd day 2022. I’m guessing that’s he difference between over the cap and spotracs dead money difference. 
 

according to spotrac his $12 remaining in 2022 becomes fully guaranteed on the 3rd day of the new league year 2022 (which i believe is the cap savings over the cap has at 12 mil if they just cut him)

 

Hey it could work out for the best. They could lose their first 4 games without Wentz, then he could come back, play the rest of the season and the Eagles get not just a first round pick but a high one.

USA Today article I read stated the Colts have no guaranteed money against the cap regarding Wentz beyond 2021. Of course even if they’re wrong when you look at the dead cap to cap savings in your post it’s practically negligible. In essence this is a one year prove it deal for Wentz and it’s not really off to a good start.

Best case scenario.  Wentz gets his 75% snaps.  Colts go 6-11.  Eagles do what they are supposed to and go 4-13, and Miami implodes and goes 5-12. 

That likely gives us picks 4-6.

Because at the time of the article, that's what it was. In the same article it says this

Quote

It should also be noted that $15 million of his 2022 salary is guaranteed on March 19, 2021. His entire 2022 salary and roster bonus is guaranteed on the third day of the league year in 2022, according to Spotrac.

So now $15M is guaranteed in 2022 that they can't walk away from

Part of his 2022 has already been guaranteed. It’s in both over the cap and spotrac as form his contract. That $12 million that spotrac is talking about on the third day of the league year is the $12 million the Colts save if they cut him that over the cap is showing. Basically over the cap is wrong as they lose the ability to save 12 mil if he’s cut after 3rd day of the new league year

And this matters why? Is the implication that he doesn't have a strong enough arm or something? If so, that's absurd.

Dear Colts,

Please trade for Nick Foles. For the comedy.

Wow, an MCL sprain.  That’s probably a couple week injury at worst, in TC.   Players are going to get banged up a bit as they get into shape.  MCLs movement sprains means he landed a bit wrong.   It’s basically probably a bit of a hyperextended knee, a pull.  A couple weeks rest and he will be good to go. Bad for getting timing down but not huge.  Will let JJAW nail down the Na Brown award. So our current WRs are the group that didn’t get any preseason last year.  NBD.  No need to sign a veteran. 

The overreactions about a 3-week injury are amazing. Especially when the actual season doesn't start for about six weeks.

Good grief, man.  Offer some context in your responses instead of just wasting time to be contrary.  Whether you’re playing through pain with a rib fracture or a foot fracture, it comes down to pain tolerance.  
 

If there has been structural damage to the foot since his high school days he obviously has some sort of tolerance.  If he plays through a torn MCL and ACL to throw a TD pass in an important game he obviously has some pain tolerance.

But, sure, you’re right.  He’s going to sit out 12 weeks just because.

A typical rib fracture is straight forward. About 4-6 weeks to completely heal. A very simple deal. Just time. 

I already posted about the complications and complexities of Wentz’s surgery. They don’t know how much work they need to do once in there. They’re talking about removing a bone and possibly more. We have bone healing and ligament healing. Hence a very broad timeline. 

Maybe he’s back in 5 weeks because the damage isn’t so bad once they get in there. But to say he’s a fast healer and he’ll be back soon is simply wishcasting, and absolutely nothing like a rib fracture.
