Another year with Wentz would be worse than a wasted year, because it would end the same or worse than this year and we still wouldn’t know if Ehlinger or someone else is the answer.
Wentz has got to go. |

It’s shit like this that makes me feel so apathetic towards all of this because Both perspectives are right. Staying with him is stupid because you already know what you have, dumping him after a year illustrates poor decision making on the part of management, and I thought they were legitimately better than that.
This isn’t what I expected in year whatever of this regime. I’ve liked how Ballard’s built the team from the inside out, and I can work with the quarterback issues because I know some of that wasn’t in his control. But where the fuck is this team going? I think the off-season will be more exciting. There’s no way they enter next season without making some kind of major move to drum up fan enthusiasm. I don’t live in Indianapolis but I have to imagine moral is pretty shitty. . |

Let me ask a question of those of you that have a good understanding of Wentz's contract. My understanding is, if the Colts cut him by March 18th, they save themselves $13M...but are still on the hook for $15M in 2022. If he is traded I assume part of that $15M would be off the books? What happens if he signs with another team, are the Colts still required to pay him the $15M?

Should take Ballard with him.

The problem I have with cutting or trading Wentz is what exactly are you going to find with the $13 million of freed up money plus the cap space available that is going to be better than Wentz? Have the Colts suddenly gained a great deal of faith in Jameis Winston or Teddy Bridgewater, both of whom they recently had chances to sign a their starting QB and chose not to? Are they going to go full Rams for Russell Wilson, who himself is coming off a career worst year? The Packers will want too much for Rodgers, the Texans will not trade Watson here. If you get rid of Wentz, what's the play? |

Grigson or someone of that ilk, hopefully. He'd bring in guys like Calais Campbell, A.J. Green, Tyrant Mathieu, and Cam Newton. Among others
This way, instead of barely missing the playoffs with $50m in the bank... We can barely make the playoffs with none money in the bank and people can't say we didn't try. Which is the important thing. Plus, our GM needs to be able to bench press a shitload. |

True....he likes to stir the soup, but it would make sense to leak it if they are planning to let him go, there is still time to rework his contract if another team would be interested in acquiring him.
