Larry Warford
 

I think the colts should sign him and have glowinski as a backup. Warford is road grader and not bad in pass protection. Perhaps a 2 year deal.

Salary cap might be a problem

They have about $20 million, it should be fine.

Says you. A team almost needs 15 million going into the season to sign free agents and whoever they can fine to replace guys who get hurt and must be replaced during the season.

10 years ago having 12 million in Space seemed like a luxury. Now 20 million seems to be cutting it short.

I’m not an expert, I just know you’ve got to have enough money in reserve to replace people and this is at least a two-year contract.

I read somewhere he wants 7 million a year. Colts have the cap space to sign him.

Colts have plenty of space to sign him. Glowinski should be a backup at best.

Interesting, but what does this have to do with Larry Warford?

I think any multi-year deal is problematic right now due to the uncertainty surrounding the 2021 salary cap.

If all regular season and playoff games are played this season without fans at the stadium, the projected salary cap could drop by 25 to 30%....that means the salary cap could decrease to about 140 million in that scenario. The Colts are in relatively good shape with respect to the 2021 cap right now.....however, there are several players due a contract extension next year along with whatever the Colts decide to do with the QB position.

I'm sure the players union and owners will sit down and try to negotiate an alternate arrangement for 2021 and beyond - a few ideas have already been floated to the media - but until the 2021 situation is resolved, I doubt many teams will be looking to add a lot of guaranteed money commitments to their 2021 cap number.

Is Glowinski really that much of a liability? I really don't think so. We can't have Pro Bowl caliber OL at every position, it's just not realistic and has never been done. I mean he beat out Joe Haeg, who was previously starting for us, yet Haeg is going to compete for starting job with the Bucs.


Maybe Pinter beats him out, but OL is the least of my worries.

Yeah, he sucks. His play the first year was pretty solid. Last year was not good. Maybe he was playing hurt or something, but he was bad.

You may be right that Pinter beats him out, who knows. I wouldn't mind having another mauler there though. Why not?

Yes - it was mentioned several times last year (I think first by Chromeburn) that Glowinski was dealing with an injury for pretty much the entire season last year.

Then that makes sense because his play definitely suffered. Hopefully he'll be back to his previous play then.

I don’t see how the cap could go down and the league function as well as it has. Players will expect an increase or at least same dollars for their level of play and teams that are over the new cap would be heavily impacted. I think we will see the cap frozen at 2020 levels with the understanding that this is a temporary situation that is not intended to set any precedent.

Any chance you could give me today's lottery numbers Race ??

One of the ideas that has been leaked to the media is to freeze the cap at the current (or slightly lower) amount, "borrow" against the future and then keep the cap frozen until the debt is made up. They will continue to do the math for what the cap number should have done, but it will be froze at some number in the meantime.

So, for example, let's just say the cap for 2020 is 200M and that it drops 50M to 150M in 2021. For 2022, everything returns to "normal" and it rebounds to 210M.

It could be frozen at 200M and then it would go 50M in debt for 2021. The surplus of 10M in 2022 would then pay down the 50M debt. It could take a few years to pay off the debt, however, unless they find other revenues.

The league can do whatever it wants regarding the cap, provided the owners and players come to an agreement. People who are sounding the alarm on this are doing so because the CBA states that the cap is based on a percentage of revenues, and games played in stadiums with no fans would obviously lead to a massive decrease in revenue, which in turn would lead to a massive decrease in the cap. Given the situation, I would think it's something the owners and the players' union will want to figure out, because teams have planned on the basis of projecting the cap forward. No team would be giving any player a $25 million per year contract if they projected the cap to be $150 million. One potential solution would be to have a uncapped year in 2021, the precedent for which was set in 2010, with the idea being that the CBA was not negotiated in such a way to handle a pandemic crisis, and everyone knowing that the 2022 league year will be capped per the normal CBA rules.

Football revenue is not that dependant on home attendance, unlike baseball. TV revenue is what makes the NFL go, and if they aren't going to play a full schedule, that's a big deal.

I heard Pat Kirwan say last week that approximately 20% of revenue is from stadium dependent. Of course that's going to vary for each team depending on how much of a sweetheart stadium deal they have.

Nope

I think he is just targeted because he is the weakest link. He was nursing some injuries last year and underperformed. But he is fine as a starter. I worry about a lot of other positions before right guard.

No. He isn’t. People are really fucking dumb when it comes to oline play

Fixed that for you

Bingo

I'm not even sure what you're referring to?

Do you think he played as well this past year as the previous one?

No. But is he a major liability? No

He is still a good rg

Okay, I agree with you, but sometimes you have to explain yourself better, so that we know what side of the fence you're on.

He was a good guard his first year with us. He was decent but inconsistent at times this past year. Dealing with an injury would make sense.

Warford would be an upgrade though and we could use more depth.

I agree that they need more depth, but money will be spent on Kelly first. There will be linemen available as we get closer to the camp and season.

You aren’t going to have all pros at every position. Glowinski is light years better than what we have seen at rg over the last 10 years. Is he perfect? Fuck no. I would much rather have the weak link at lg but it is what it is. Glowinski is fine until we can properly upgrade.


Shitting on him because be isn’t Nelson is par for the course for this fan base

Rivers will get the ball out far faster than Jacoby did. I'm far from an oline expert, but it seems that not having to block for 6+ seconds every time should help a lot. Glow will be fine. Depth is a need though.

You admitted that he played worse than his first season. That said, when I said he sucked, I was purposely overreacting. That's what fans do. You've done it yourself plenty of times here. Obviously he doesn't suck or he wouldn't be a starter in the NFL, but he did struggle at times and gave up some sacks. The injury explanation makes sense as to why.
