Colts reportedly trying to sign Gilmore

[YDFL Commish]

Just heard this news on SiriusXM radio. Apparently Irsay has been tweeting that Ballard is trying to sign a big name FA today.

He visited with the Colts but I don’t see Ballard ponying up what it would take to sign him.

I’m not sure I’d want him to if it’s going to cost to much. I didn’t realize that Gilmore is 31 years old.

[Brylok]

He'd be a big addition.

I don’t see Ballard wanting to do this. I do see Irsay wanting to do this. So maybe.

Is this because of the money?

Meh, dude will be 32 and couldn't stay healthy last year Playing 8 games and starting just 3 last year, he better be cheap as hell.

Whats the diff between fully guaranteed and total guarantees? Doesn’t guaranteed mean guaranteed?

Guaranteed for certain situations? Like missing games for injury vs. being cut. I think.

"Fully guaranteed" means that the player will be receiving that money - no matter the circumstances.

Additionally, part of the contract could be guaranteed for a specific condition - such as guaranteed for injury only. That means that if the player suffers a football-related injury, cannot pass the team physical and is released, he will be owed that money that is injury guaranteed. On the other hand, if the player is healthy and cut for skill or salary cap reasons, that money is not due to the player.

Likewise, there could be amounts guaranteed for skill or cap purposes - although guaranteed for injury is probably used the most often of those three on an individual basis.
