Makes you wonder what they will do with Dallas Clark now that Sanders is locked up

That is a big number in guaranteed money. I am sure Polian has the inside scoop on how much the salary cap will go up, so he isnt worried.

Dallas Clark? Marvin Harrison(done or takes big pay cut.)

This is the beginning of the downfall for the Colts.
Sanders is injury prone, in 4 seasons twice he only played like 5 games each.

This is a lot of money to give a guy who isn't super durable.

the franchise tag on a TE is at least workable, unlike that for other positions.im Dallas will be there next year.

That is a whole lot of dough. Before the season started, Troy Polamalu signed a huge deal and hasn't really done anythying this year. Let's hope the same thing happens to Sanders.

The beginning of the end for Indy is when they made Freeney the highest played defensive player in football.

You do that when a guy is turning 25, not 30. Giving a edge rusher whose whole game is a quick first step that much money when he is getting old enough to lose that step is not smart.

Giving Sanders all this money could be the second nail in the coffin. As others said, that's a lot of $$$ to give a guy who can't stay consistently healthy.

My guess is they franchise Clark, though the $$$ TEs are getting nowadays, the top 5 average is still probably pretty high.
