Kravitz: no win in the Luck sweepstakes

Found November 18, 2011 on The Colts Authority: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Reggie Wayne,  Jeff Saturday,  Ryan Diem,  Gary Brackett,  Joseph Addai,  Dallas Clark,  Melvin Bullitt
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
Bob Kravitz points out that the Colts can keep Manning, draft luck and kiss the rest of the roster goodbye or build Peyton a statue and let him leave: Then there's the financial side of it: Let's say Manning comes back for a year or maybe two. Now you're in "Let's Win One For Peyton" mode. But there are two problems: First, this team is severely lacking in too many areas to believe it can all be rectified in just one or two offseasons. You've got to figure that most or all of these players will not return: Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday, Ryan Diem, Gary Brackett, Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark, Melvin Bullitt, and the list goes on. Even if the Colts wanted to go crazy in free agency -- something they've never done -- where will they find the cap space with Manning's contract on the books?

Schefter didn't say Manning to Skins

Via The Colts Authority  |  November 18, 2011
The internet was ablaze after several outlets picked up a half-cocked story that Adam Schefter reported Peyton Manning may be in the Redskins future plans.  Of course that's not what happened at all: Now, included in this non-answer were the words “Washington” and “ Peyton Manning.” But there was no report whatsoever that Manning would be traded, or that the Redskins...

Jim Caldwell: Colts Need a Break

Via Coltzilla  |  November 18, 2011
“We need a break,” said Jim Caldwell. The Indianapolis Colts are the only team in the league without a victory, and have distinguished themselves as the top candidate in the much-anticipated Andrew Luck sweepstakes. There is no doubt that 2011 has been a disappointing season for a group of players — many who are established [...]

Castonzo vs. the Jags

Via The Colts Authority  |  November 18, 2011
Coltsider broke down the game film and found that Anthony Castonzo's productivity wasn't as bad as it looked: Overall, it seems that Castonzo’s play wasn’t as bad as it first seemed that it may have been. Castonzo started out slow, as four of those negative plays happened in the first seven pass plays. From there on out he only allowed one negative play, the Orlovsky...

Peyton Manning Trade Rumors: Forget About Indianapolis Colts Trading Superstar Quarterback

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  November 18, 2011
Peyton Manning trade rumors are already heating up as the Indianapolis Colts continue on their ‘Suck for Luck’ campaign. The Colts are well on their way to losing all 16 games this season and securing the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. That would enable them to take the most NFL-ready college quarterback to come out of the draft in many years, Stanford Cardinal...

Who to Root For: Bye Week

Via 18 To 88  |  November 18, 2011
(Note: I'll be traveling over the weekend. Monday's post will be a comparison of the 1997 and 1999 Colts to show how the roster was turned over in two years). With the Colts on a bye week, no harm can be done. There are four teams with two wins right now: Carolina, Miami, Minnesota, and St. Louis. As of this morning, the tie breaker standings for the first overall pick look...
