Dwight Freeney the Colts New $72 Million Man

I'm sorry guys but you don't see the big picture him getting 5 mill per year more than the next highest lineman Seymoure will take defensive players salaries to the roof.

remember 2 years ago when hutchinson got that huge deal in Minnesota well this year avrg guards not even close to hutchinson level asked and received the same type of contract.

Next year every above avrg lineman is going to ask for a contract in the same range or at least between seymour's and freenny contract do you think any of your lineman is worth 9 mill per year.

This agents and owners are screwing the CAP

thats ridiculous

Besides Peyton how can you pay one player this much. You could get two maybe three good guys for this money. And 30 million signing bonus could have been mine if only i could run fast and sack a Qb

By the 3rd year of this deal, he and Peyton will be eating 40% of that team's cap room.

40%! On two players.

Just sick, To me Peyton being one of they best getting big money is understandable, but a D Lineman who is limited against the run? This is a bad deal on the Colts part in that they really screwed their cap in the coming years but better them than our beloved Skins.

Hey one thing everyone forgot to mention - the good thing about this is now Freeney is off the market and Synder does not have the chance to overpay him and kill our cap! Thank you Colts for preventing our owner from tripping over his own 2 feet again!

So what does this mean for Corey Simon? Hmmm.......................

Wow, it's no surprise he's getting this kind of money but it's still a shock to see the figure $72M in print.

$30M signing bonus!

I just choked on my soda.


I wish I had some of that. But from a pass rushing stand point. He does deserve a big day. But it;s funny people are shocked now. The market will only get bigger so soon you will se 7 year 100 million dollar deals with like 45 million dollars guaranteed.

So what does this mean for Corey Simon? Hmmm.......................


they just took him off the physically unable to perform list.

welcome brger13, and thats a ridiculous amount of money that is a specialist. both he and manning will have to renegotiate in 2 years

they just took him off the physically unable to perform list.
Does that mean he could possibly be released?
