Be the GM

This will be a repeating feature. We will take each position in turn. For each position we will look at the players we already have on the roster and whether those player should be retained, resigned, traded, or cut. We will also discuss whether we need help in the draft, trades or free agency. The first position is the most obvious position for the team QUARTERBACK.

Currently on the roster we have:

Matt Cassel under contract under contract $5million
Kyle Orton FA
Ricky Stanzi under contract approx $550,000
Tyler Palko RFA

As I've said elsewhere, I think the firing of the Polians in INdy puts that first overall in play.

I package draft picks and players, including our best players, like DJ and Berry, if necessary, to move up to take Luck.

Indy's not going to want players, IMO - especially those like Berry who were Top 5 picks under the old system.

But I agree that #1 might be in play, and I'd give up anything to get it. Or at least make an offer that Indy has to consider.

Lets face it, your R1/R2 picks are usually best used on skill positions.

We are in good shape there.

We need help with a few line positions and depth. Those can be taken later in the draft.

If they can lock up Bowe and Carr, this team could get by without early picks for a few years, provided they draft decently in the later rounds.

It'll never happen, but it's what should happen.

The reason I believe that players would be an attrctive part of the package to the Colts is the fact that draft picks take some time to develop, especially on the DL, which is where I think they'll target the most for improvement in defense.

They also saw how valuable a safety id in today's NFL first hand.

If the first pick is in play, and they pay Manning the bonus, they'll be in win now mode.

They need players that contribute right away.

Okay.

But I can't quite figure out what you said.

****ing this.

Hell, they can have Albert and some of our foundational players on both sides of the ball if they want. I'd also be up for giving our first half of the draft this year and a bunch of our draft next year.

It stings to give up Berry but you do what you gatta do.

I'd make a move for Manning.

With this team, an 80% Manning can win you a Superbowl.

Just say no to Manning.

This. He won't even make the physical. He'll retire in May or June.

You guys stretching for Luck, just want in your left hands, handshake yourselves, and clean up afterward.

Trent Richardson or some big-ass OT is what you'll get, for your time and effort.

This is a team that is built for competing for the next 8 10 years.

You bring in Manning, with no clear plan for the future after Manning retires, you limit your window to 3 years, 4 years max.

It's the same thing they did with Montana.

It's the same thing the the Cardinals did with Warner.

You bring in an aging QB, if it doesn't work out in the limited window, you're ****ed for years after.

And in the SB era, only 3 or 4 QBs over the age of 33 have won the SB, and only 1 of those was on a team that brought him in late in his career.

This team doesn't have to have Manning to win a SB.

I don't think I'd trade our best your defensive player for 1 glory year, then be worse off afterwards....esp when Manning has neck problems, which isn't a minor issue.
