Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Um, why hasn't Gary Brackett signed with the Colts yet?

Dear Brian Mackler (Gary Brackett's agent),

Why hasn't your client re-signed with the Colts yet? The very fact that they are even talking to him about re-signing should tell you the Colts mean business. Bill Polian NEVER re-signs "old" linebackers. He lets the old guys walk, replaces them with younger guys, and then watches the old guys' careers fizzle to nothing as the play for other teams (see Cato June, Mike Peterson, Gilbert Gardner, etc.). Gary is a perfect fit for this defense, and if the Colts are looking to re-sign him, the offer they have on the table is likely very generous.

Since we know Gary likes playing in Indy, the only thing I can logically assume is that, somehow, you are f!cking this up. All rumors point to the Colts wanting to re-sign Brackett to the kind of money the Ravens gave Ray Lewis. I mean, if this is true, what is the friggin hold up? Do you want a virgin sacrificed on an altar as part of the incentives in the contract?

Do us all a favor: Kindly tell your client to sign with the Colts today. It only makes sense. If it doesn't happen, as a fan I can only assume that your greed likely screwed the whole thing up, and the rest of us will be forced to watch Gary get pancaked in a Patriots uniform until his career dries up.

Do the right thing and tell your client to re-sign.

Sincerely,

BBS

 

P.S.- This is a note for you Gary: Fire Brian Mackler after you re-sign. He sounds like a Grade-A putz for letting this thing drag out as long as it did. Cheers.

I wish it were random...

…but BBS does this all the time. Using nothing but conjecture to form outlandish statements, which usually means questioning someones intelligence or manhood. This time, it’s insulting Brackett’s agent for not having agreed to the Colts offer yet. It’s as if BBS has never seen a free agent negotiate a contract with his team before. Are we at all surprised that this is taking time? No. Then why flip and start blaming people as if it’s not going to get done? Just chill.

There are too many posts when BBS’s sole purpose is to insult a journalist, agent, player, coache and another blogger. It’s annoying. It also gives Colts fans a bad name. He falls back on that schtick too much because, I’m sorry to say, he doesn’t actually know anything about football.

BBS is good at providing us links to the quotes, the scoops, the updates and the reviews, but he consistently fails miserably when he inserts his own opinion.

I was under the impression

that the agent works for the player, not the other way around. If Gary wants to play in Indy, then he’ll sign the best deal they’ll give him. If he wants to walk, he’ll walk. If he’s SMART, he’ll hit free agency and use other offers as leverage to get the deal he wants in Indy.

All signs point to 3.

Gary should take a below-market contract without ever testing the waters. If he doesn’t, he’s an idiot and should fire his agent.

Insert Clever Statement Here

by MrNFL on Mar 4, 2010 1:45 PM EST up reply actions  

Brackett and his agent both seek a huge payday, we've (or at least I've) known this. And I'm hoping he leaves in free agency.

But first, I wonder how many more of these stupid posts we’ll see. So that said …

Not that I don’t like Gary B or don’t think he wasn’t very good in Coyer’s defense last year, but the numbers being floated (around $7M per?) and the talk of making him one of the highest-paid linebackers in the league sound ridiculous to me. It’s not worth it, move on, the Colts can/will be a championship contender without him.

Brackett is pretty good, but he’s not great plus he turns 30 years old this May. And for all we know he and his agent are pushing for longer than a 3-year term (if they are, I would have shut down negotiations right then and there).

The linebacker position just isn’t that important. Defensive line is by far the most important, second is the secondary, linebacker is a distant third. (Now for a 3-4 defense, that would be somewhat different.)

Heck, I would instead try signing Raiders MLB Kirk Morrison to a offer sheet. The Raiders won’t match any offer sheet whatsoever because they want the pick, and the Colts would only have to give up their very late 3rd.

However they do it, just give Coyer speed and instincts. Not just at linebacker, at all positions. Speed and instincts.

by project geo on Mar 4, 2010 11:52 AM EST reply actions  

But we are talking middle linebacker

Wasn’t it Bill Parcells who said this? Players make the Pro Bowl a few years after they should have made it originally and stop being voted in a few years after they should have stopped making it.

The same thing with Gary Brackett’s contract, he is getting a big fat contract for what he means to the Colts for the next year or two and not for the entire duration of the contract he will sign AND what he did the previous few years as well.

He was a bargain for $10.1 mil. for 4 years, now I can bet his contract is something like $25 mil. for 4 years with half of it guaranteed, something in that ballpark.

He knows, we all know that he is one injury or a couple of years away from losing his quickness or step but only Polian and the Colts are to blame for not drafting an MLB and bringing him along the last couple of years. Now, the Colts have no choice and contrary to what people think, Brackett is in a better position than the Colts to bargain because our team is in a state of having to win now than a few years later and the middle linebacker is a key position on D and it is not easy for a newcomer to play in any system.

Regardless, Polian should draft a middle linebacker prospect in the draft on day 2 at least to see how he flourishes in our system and can possibly learn from Brackett.

by chad72 on Mar 4, 2010 12:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Last year, there was maybe one MLB

in the draft who would have fit the system, but he was a criminal and is now in Baltimore. Other prospects were dumb, slow, coming from injury or couldn’t speak.

by Ty46 on Mar 4, 2010 12:35 PM EST up reply actions  

We could have drafted Lauranitis

In retrospect, we could have drafted Lauranitis, he had a real good year for the Rams, as much as they struggled. But we did not know Hart’s recovery possibilities, all we knew was that we were letting Dom Rhodes walk and we could not convert a 3rd and 2 with Addai battling injuries in 2008. So we drafted Brown. Who would have thought Addai would rebound with a year like 2009? I didn’t.

This year, we have early round prospects like Sean Weatherspoon (round 1), Darryl Washington (round 2 or 3), Pat Angerer (round 4 or 5) that can play MLB in our system. I would invest in Pat Angerer, if possible, he would still be a project at this point but if we are going to re-sign Brackett and invest a day 2 pick on an MLB, I’d get Pat Angerer.

Another guy I am curious in the UDFA route (just like Gary Brackett was originally) is Joe Pawelek of Baylor, he does have good pass coverage skills.

by chad72 on Mar 4, 2010 12:42 PM EST up reply actions  

I wouldn't consider changing the Donald Brown pick to Laurinaitis today, even if Brackett walks

Certain Colts fans were big on Laurinaitis, but I wasn’t one of them. There’s nothing 1st round special about him. I want to get playmakers in the 1st round.

Serviceable starters come in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. After that, you take fliers on guys who have certain attributes that might get them to stick to the roster.

by project geo on Mar 4, 2010 12:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Probably right

I might have been fine with Polian trading down and drafting Lauranitis, I will agree with you on that.

Before his injury, Brown was showing great signs of improvement with every game. The 2nd year is where anyone makes that big jump, he has 2 out of 3 departments cooking – running and catching. Once he gets his blocking consistent, he can get into a 40-60 split with Brown-Addai. To me, Brown might be our best catching RB, just look at an out route he ran in the Miami Dolphins game early in the year before halftime, not many RBs can run that, he should be used more for catches too.

Brown needs to hit the gym too, he weighs 210 lbs or more but it seems like Addai is much stronger on the field though he just weighs about 5-10 lbs more than Brown.

Dansby will play outside in our system where we have Wheeler and Hagler to rotate. This draft is very strong on the OLB front too with Edds probably a great fit for our system.

by chad72 on Mar 4, 2010 12:55 PM EST up reply actions  

I would try to get Morrison cheap

Like say a 3-year, $10M offer sheet. A reasonable offer for the Colts, a good chunk (but not great) chunk of change for Morrison who has been playing on a rookie contract up until now. Hope he bites on that in the current climate.

He’s an experienced 28-year-old veteran. A 5-year starter for the Raiders who has missed only one game in his career (his rookie year 2005). He’s not a physcal run-thumper but he can do an okay job dropping back into coverage, he’s pretty similar to Brackett. Might even be a better blitzer than what we’ve seen with the Raiders.

by project geo on Mar 4, 2010 1:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Ummm... I don't know about you guys who've commented so far, but I *agree* with BBS here

Presuming that it’s the agent who’s drawing this out, I think BBS is right on the money here. I don’t think Brackett would be well served by playing on any other team with a different linebacker philosophy, especially a 3-4 team that wants the LBs to blitz and therefore smack linemen three-quarters of the time. Not to mention the fact that the Colts with Manning are always Super Bowl contenders. So I, too, would like to see the agent get Brackett signed. Indy has clearly announced their intentions to keep him if possible, so the ball’s in Mackler’s and Brackett’s court. While I’m not going to go as far with the rhetoric as BBS here, I agree with his sentiment. This is on the agent, and he should be getting Gary signed ASAP.

This whole situation

sounds quite ridiculous…maybe Saturday will come out and politely tell Brian Mackler to shut the eff up…

I can't remember the last time

the Colts signed someone (or re-signed) before the last minute. I sort of expected this, but it is really annoying.

More of the same from the shoe

Spoken like the deranged fan you are. Life is complicated, contracts are complicated. Things will get done.

His agent could be the best for him in the world – how the hell do you justify saying he should be fired? You have NO idea what is going on.

God I wish you would become a “fan” of another team. You are nothing but a downer.

If you don't like it here

and have so much of a problem with BBS you are more than welcome to push that little “X” at the top right-hand corner of your screen.

I just don’t comment at all.

Great, but...

Some people are more aggressive in their desire to improve the site, the coverage, the national perception of Colts fans, etc.

Without healthy debate things would get pretty damn boring quickly.

Mock drafts are stupid and pointless.

This is all just part of our master plan.

We let Brackett walk, and then Bob Sanders becomes our MLB, and is only able to complete 1 full game, as opposed to his customary 4. Just kidding, Just kidding.

He’ll get through 1 1/2.

For Ray lewis money

I’d let brackett walk. Yes he is good, but Polian has never paid that kind of money to a line backer. And we have let better guys go. There may not be a cap next year, but the reality is I can’t see another team paying him the kind of money he is asking for if the 7M a season is true. He is a good solid player, but I think he works in our system, which might not work for someone else.

Even if there is no deal today,

he might be back, after he realizes, there is no market for 30 year old undersized LBers.

Just a hypothetical

If getting Gaither would have to mean Brackett walks, who do you take?

stud left tackle vs overrated (by fans) MIKE?

I’ll take the LT.

I gotta go with the tackle...

Yeah, I’m one of the fans that over-rates GB. You gotta root for the undrafted guy that became a defensive starter, and I think he does a decent job at MLB. Beats the hell outta many of our old MLB’s but we need all the o-line help we can get…

My bad, I meant defensive captain

But I guess defensive starter works too.
