I know this is a joke, but part of me hopes this is a stipulation of the contract.

3…2…1… Incoming Fred Warner fans. [just points at Darius’ stats]

Two things that concern me with handing him such a massive contract is his stand on COVID and his history of concussions. The second is just something you deal with in the NFL. The first is his doing completely. I hope it was addressed.

Why do ESPN and other outlets keep calling him an Inside Linebacker? He's an off-ball LB, sure, but he's not on ILB.

Had to be done but damn that’s a lot of money.

Probably won’t be able to keep Okereke.

If Okereke turns out to be so good we cannot afford him (we have one 20 million dollar lb, doubt we could afford another) we will have had some great defensive years with him. I'm all in for us not being able to resign him because he is so damn good.

Darius Deserves every dime IMO.

He's played at an all-pro level for the first 3 years in the NFL, and got paid pennies doing so.

In 2023, when the new TV contracts are up, and the Salary caps go up, This contract could look like a steal.

Not that I know anything about the complex mechanisms of NFL salaries, but isn't the rain the Colts are always so far under the cap is to have the flexibility to sign great players that were drafted here?
