Re: Polian agrees that the Colts are screwed: A theory
Yep. It really doesn't make sense. There are very few players in the NFL I wouldn't trade for 2 #1 picks and oodles of cap space. And very, very few non-quarterbacks.
I pretty much agree. The only reason I can add for him doing the exclusive is that he took a calculated risk that by not letting Freeney talk to others he would avoid a poison pill offer driving up Freeney's total price on a long term deal. The problem with that is teams are going to bid up on those hitting the market very quickly at the opening of FA so I don't see it paying off especially since Freeney wants to be the highest paid. Also it really won't stop his agent from feeling out teams for what they would pay for him
If I was the Colts and somebody wanted to give me two #1's for him I'd have his bags packed for him.
