Trouble Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The Colts just signed defensive end Robert Mathis to a new contract that pays him $17 million this year, and it might not make sense for them to also keep Freeney on his current deal, which pays him a base salary of more than $14 million. So it’s not surprising that a trade is an option.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/09/colts-engaged-in-dwight-freeney-trade-talks/Ouch!!!!!!!

ya_boi_j Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well look at their success and what they have done for that team, they earned every penny they signed for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyerbudNYG Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 http://profootballta...ey-trade-talks/Ouch!!!!!!!Freeny is in the last year of a back ended contract, he was never seeing this money.Seems like the Colts dumped most of Mathis's signing bonus into this years number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Mathis contract is 4 years 36 mil. He got a 15 million dollar signing bonus. It's not like his base salary is 17 mil this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I think the Colts will end up straight cutting Freeney, no team is going to trade for that contract and he is probably overvaluing himself at this point. He's slowing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
