Football Bob Sanders Possibly Available Next Year - Page 3

Per Rotoworld:

Colts placed SS Bob Sanders on injured reserve with a torn left biceps, ending his season.

His season ends with three tackles and a pick in just two appearances. Beat reporter Philip B. Wilson speculates that the Colts will cut their losses with Sanders in the offseason to free up salary. 29 in February, Sanders is scheduled to make $2.275 million in 2010. The 2007 Defensive POY has played in just 27 of a possible 64 games over the last four seasons. Nov. 6 - 3:51 pm et

He is injury prone but as any Iowa fan can tell you, when healthy, he is the centerfielder of a defense (he was POY only two years ago). This could be a possible buy low candidate to help our defense for a few years.

Bob Sanders' next contract should be paid per game, knowing that his availability is a liability.

How come when big guys get hurt all the time they don't get chastised for it? Sanders size has very very little if any to do with him getting injured. The guy isn't small or slender, he's short. There is a difference.

You're right. Sanders is hard all the time not because he's small, but because he's made of glass.

most overrated defensive player in a while besides Merriman.

"Bob Sanders". We already signed "Bob Sanders". Every team has already signed "Bob Sanders". "Bob Sanders" is every team's greatest player.

Sadly Bob Sanders' heart is bigger than his body

a small guy who plays waaaay bigger than he is can only last so long at a position like strong safety.

high risk signing

They will re-sign him
he will never hit free agency
especially if it is an uncapped year

Not necessarily. They have Melvin Bullitt, who's actually pretty good himself. Right now they're just paying Sanders a big contract to be hurt.

The greatest safety to ever play the game...sometimes...when he's not hurt.

No, no, no. It's "the greatest safety to never play the game".
