Jabaal Sheard to the Colts - 3yr/$25.5 w/$12.7 guaranteed

We lose Sheard and replace him with this guy, unbelievable!

 

[Joey007]

I think he's a terrible fit there if they're still running the 3-4.

That's why he got shipped out of Cleveland in the first place!!

 

[shmessy]

Makes today's Ealy trade worth a huge cap difference.
Plus we have the potential of not one but TWO different comp picks in 2 different draft years!

This is brilliance by the NE FO. They are putting on quite the exhibition.

And the Butler for Cooks smokescreen is classic!

Decent coin........
Good luck.
Ah Hell. Its the colts.
Stink the joint.

Terrible contract. Ealy trade is a way better move. Belichick is an elite GM.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

The Colts have next to no talent on defense, they need a Sheard so they can at least try and stop somebody while they retool through the draft.

Can totally see why they'd guaranteed him 12m

 

[Deus Irae]

nobody got your pun!

And I thought using a capital letter would make it too obvious...

Terrible contract. Ealy trade is a way better move. Belichick is an elite GM.

If he can play it is, he could easily be Mingo 2.

You don't lose much if anything making the trade it's pretty much low risk as it gets but you can still downgrade, no guarantees he's as good as Sheard, Carolina did just give him up for a ham sandwich.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

I wish sheard the best of luck going forward.

He will make that defense better.

Used to get pissed at these guys for walking away from the greatest franchise in sports for more money, but I've acclimated to the fact that...It all works out...For both sides. Pats get titles, guys get paid.
Thanks for your contributions jabaal.

 

[Joey007]

Surprisingly, I'm gonna channel Rex Ryan here, back when long time Jet Shaun Ellis left to come here in 2011.

I wish him his health, but I can't say I wish him well.

They changed DCs this offseason. The guy is supposed to play in 4-3 too, but you'll never know...

Could work, I'm hoping he does well, not great

 

[Ring 6]

Players leaves for 3 years 25 mill
BB trades down 8 spots and gets a replacement at 900k

Have to love that.

 

[MrNathanDrake]

We got Ealy for sub-1 million this year. Colts are paying Sheard 8.5 million this year.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Seems high for him. Whatever.

He did well here.

 

[Mac&Barmore FTW]

I wish him the best of luck.

Haha someone disagreed with you about wishing him luck?

Smokescreen for what? Not sure how that helps us.

 

[Urgent]

...wish they paid him $10mm a season...

 

[Gronkowski123]

**** the colts!!!
