Freeney signs long-term deal.

Great job for the COLTS!!!


Freeney is now a Colt for the next 6 years,

The Colts are in CAP Hell in 2 years..

Gee, I thought all they naysayers were saying it was this year...

No cap hell for the Colts. Those guys have their act together, plus Irsay won't allow the team to go broke. There's no doubt that Irsay told Polian a long time ago, "Build a winner any way you can, but keep the cap in front of us". And that's what the Colts have done all these years. In fact, they have managed the cap so well, they can make a huge financial mistake like Corey Simmon, costing them MILLIONS of cap dollars the past couple of years, and STILL give the big dollars to guys like Freeney.

Of course, the Colts are able to to that because they never pay their pro bowl linebackers

Yes you will be in Cap hell, look at Freeneys contract first 2 years it only counts as 11 mil against the Cap, years 3-6 look out, and if you release him whats remaining from the bonus is escalated to that year.
