The Colts tend to do very smart contracts, I hope this one is, that is a lot of money for an LG and he seems to have some back issues and that concerns me.

Who's next ??

Won’t be until after the season but I’d wager either Kenny Moore or Okereke.

So, no car payment? Bet he drives a pickup?

For as much as it smashed the old record for Guards, it seems set up reasonably well for the Colts.

I'm hoping Ngakoue has a season that makes us break the bank to keep him.

Oh no! Nelson got paid!
Now it's his turn to join the half-hearted OL group of Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith and play soft to not get injured.

No left guard in the NFL is worth $20M a year.

I’m fine not paying a guard if we had someone else at a more important position to pay. But we don’t, so yeah, pay your all star guard.
