When the team takes the field this fall, Manning, Saturday, Wayne, Garcon, Addai, Clark, Brackett, Bullitt, Freeney, and perhaps others, will all be gone. You'll need a scorecard to know who's on the field. Of all of these, the one that makes the least sense is Brackett. But all of these are symptoms of a problem....the Colts should have been rebuilding all along over the past 10 years. Their roster was the most stagnant in the league and now they are paying the price. They'll be lucky to go 5-11 this season, just as they sucked in Manning's first year. Whoever above asked if all of this was because of salary cap and what they will have to pay Luck....of course it is! Luck will command the most-expensive contract yet seen in the NFL. The only way the Colts were going to make that happen was to part with some of their highest-paid talent. The only sure thing in this world is change.....
Good points, except Luck's contract. The new CBA has a rookie wage scale, so he CAN'T break the bank like Bradford, Stafford, Russell, etc.
IIRC, Luck will be less than $10 million in 2012 because of this.
