Colts rookie mini camp starts Friday which means a couple things.
1. The Colts are likely to take advantage of this time to get the draft picks under contract.
Quenton Nelson is going to get over $23 million over 4 years with over $15 million of which is the signing bonus.
While Zaire Franklin gets about $2.5 million over 4 years with $87K of which is a signing bonus.
All first round picks get fully guaranteed contracts and the Colts own an option for the 5th year which amounts to Top 10 money for Nelson’s position.
The only guaranteed money Franklin gets is the signing bonus.
Congrats to all our rookies, wishing them all the best as they start mini camp tomorrow.
This is going to be an interesting year...so many new names to learn and recognize on the field.
here is the list of all the tryout players as well as draft picks, UDFAs and a couple second year players Mo Alie-Cox, Kolby Listenbee and Phillip Walker.
So I seen a few pictures posted from the on going OTC and the person who posted them said that it was second string OL.
It was Mewhort at LG, Haeg at C, Braden Smith at RG and possibly Good at RT. Neither picture showed player #s but some players are more obvious to identify then others. None of the pictures showed anyone to the right of Mewhort (Mewhort’s left) so Mewhort might? have been LT, moving everyone over one spot.
Either way that, IMHO, confirms that Q, Slauson and Austin Howard are first team.
To me, it's just the same group of guys starting for at least a quarter season.
Yes, less injuries are a must. Be nice to see a fully healthy team for more than just a game or 2 this yr.
