And the record on second contracts is not great in terms of WAR Well some teams try to squeeze in a player in the final picks of the first round to get the 5th year option.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional, I don't care what reports are coming out of Indy. Jay Tay is going to FEAST in this offense. Repeat: FEAST. Well... I'd say they're not close now for sure. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

thebadferret 435 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 He's looking scary. Showing some hands which was the only thing I was a little bit worried about. Hines will hold him back a bit, but there will be some monster weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Islanderman 251 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 You would think they are going to sign another RB, Freeman? Link to post Share on other sites

But needless to say this would be absolutely devastating news. Given how high they drafted him and how well Hines played I don't see them bringing anyone (of relevance) in.

I think Freeman still wants to get paid, so probably not him. They probably bring someone one else in for a look and some depth, but even then he'd likely be behind Wilkins and no real threat to JT.

Yeah, I was thinking more about that Freeman still wants to get paid like a top RB, which I don't think the Colts (or most teams) will spring for. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't be surprised when Taylor gets 80% of the touches, if Colts are blowing out a team. Link to post Share on other sites
JacobThunder15 321 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Honestly we could see this ceiling as high as A Ekeler was last season with how Rivers likes to throw to the RB. Taylor is the guy to have over Hines because of where they use him. Hines could get the reception, but Taylor is running at the goaline and will get his share Link to post Share on other sites

That is a 12 pt swing on the stat lines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
