Cato June on the Dan Patrick Show

Cato June is an unresticted free-agent this offseason. When asked what is more important to him, money or the Colts, Cato did not hesitate to say the Colts. Cato June wants to be a Colt next year and the year after that. He wants to play for Tony Dungy. He wants to play for the city of Indianapolis.

It is rare to find players who do not chase the extra dollar. The Colts should lock him up. June said he isn't afraid to go to another city, if the Colts don't pay him. If they give him a reasonable amount of money, our best linebacker will return. There were some times this year where the toughness and effort of June was questioned. I know for a fact that Cato June works hard to be the best player that he can be. If the Colts want Cato June to be their WSLB next year, he will be.

Cato!
I'd definitely like for him to return.  I know we have some young linebackers on the Roster like Haguler and Keiaho, but i'd definitely like to see Cato back.  The Colts don't have much cap room, but last year they tried to restructure Manning and Harrison's contracts but the NFL said the way they did it was wrong and they had to take a cap hit.  I think that was one of the main reasons we lost Thorton.  I have a feeling they'll do some tweaking and we'll be alright.  We'll take a big hit once they release Simon this year, but after that hopefully it will be smoother sailing.  I like the depth we have as a team.  I'd like to see some improvement with the Linebackers, D-Line, and Safeties because Mike Doss is pretty much a goner.  

Overall, I'd say we'll be in pretty good shape for the next few years at least.  Even if we lose some key players, it's bound to happen.  It hurts when it's your own guys, but every team goes through the same thing.  Hopefully we'll find some gems in the draft or free-agent signing periods like Bethea, Brackett, and Rhodes.

Dan Patrick
didn't ask the question because he was not on his own show today for some reason. The guy filling in for him asked the question. I guess I should have clarified that.

cato
for the right money i think polian would resign cato.  i don't think is worth huge bucks, but he is a good linebacker..

more likely to go i think is nick harper.  with marlin jackson and hayden, harper's record of injuries and these younger players coming up, probably makes him more likely to go than cato.

one good thing with low draft picks too is that it will be easier on the cap situation.  at the price, unless there is another peyton manning out there, who wants a top ten pick...
