I hear ya. Don't know how we would deal with his cap price though.

 

[Exe Gesis]

If anyone can decipher Irsay-speak, they should be working as codebreakers for intelligence agencies.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Btw, Cruz is an RFA, so it's not a trade, just negotiating a deal with Cruz/agent. If it's Cruz. And it would cost them a first rounder i think.
But maybe Irsay's talking about another high-profile WR that no one expects. Either someone bigger than Cruz (hence, whopper), or someone not earth-shattering that Irsay is over-excited about disappointing Colts fans who are hoping it's Cruz.

 

[Ochre]

I've heard Larry Fitzgerald name mentioned which would be awesome, but after how incredibly much Irsay has hyped it, I'm expecting someone I've never heard of

 

[Exe Gesis]

But there aren’t many free-agent receivers with names justifying the use of two exclamation points. Darrius Heyward-Bey was cut on Tuesday, and Randy Moss still has some caché, baby.

That leaves restricted free agents, where Giants receiver Victor Cruz and Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders are the top targets. But with Irsay saying that the Colts have been working on the deal for five days and given that Cruz’s agent change delayed prevent CAA from talking contract during the five-day waiting period, it’s probably not Cruz.

Unless, of course, the Colts were spending the first part of the past five days coming up with an offer-sheet strategy with a 2013 cap number that would prevent the Giants from matching.

Either way, we’ll be keeping an eye on Irsay’s page for further updates.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Rule out Cruz due to the above point.

It has to be a trade with another team, unless he's talking Randy Moss (who is rumored to be looking to still play).

 

[Exe Gesis]

Maybe it is Larry Fitzgerald. Who'd have to be pretty frustrated with the Cardinals lack of legitimate QB and looking to continue so this year without a top flight QB.

Irsay has never said if it was a trade though.

so it could still be Cruz

 

[Exe Gesis]

But it cant be Cruz because of what Florio posted (the quote above), about that 5 day period of contract talks due to a change in player agent.

Jeff Saturday still mad Colts didn’t try for a perfect season

After one final season in Green Bay, Jeff Saturday is returning to the Colts to call it a career and officially retire with the team, and he says that when he looks back on his time in Indianapolis, there’s only one thing he regrets.

That one thing is that in 2009, the Colts started 14-0 but didn’t try to finish a perfect season, instead resting their starters and losing their final two regular-season games. They ended up losing the Super Bowl to the Saints at the end of the postseason.

“That’s the only thing I wish we would have done differently,” Saturday told Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star. “I was in favor of it, but obviously, I got out-voted [by management]. When we pulled everybody and just let it go by the wayside and ended up losing, that was a great opportunity we had. As a player, perfection is the highest goal you can reach. And we were so close.”

Saturday’s comments don’t specifically mention who he blames for that decision, but former Colts G.M. Bill Polian is often blamed for being the one who decided the Colts would rest Peyton Manning and Co. in the final two games. That decision wasn’t popular with the Colts’ players then, and it’s still not popular with them now.

Caldwell wore my disgust...shouldda been Polian Poison I suppose... but man, the father-son combo were shattered.

and this... totally...SH-SH - SH-A-T-T-E-R-E-D!!!

First of all, Irsay is batshit crazy insane so I wouldn't believe everything 100%

And second of all GG, I think I speak for all Colts fans when I say Cruz is the best case scenario so can you please not let little things like facts destroy our hope

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
For those asking about @JimIrsay's tweets and whether it means Victor Cruz to the Colts... Sounds doubtful. Would be shocked.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Its probably dhb lol. Otherwise fitz trade.

 

[Leezorr]

More rumors this morning that its Cruz.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
Giants co-owner Steve Tisch is bracing himself for a team to go after RFA Victor Cruz. Says someone will probably make an offer.

Nick Ragsdale ‏@ColtsInsiders
Cruz knows that if he signs the offer sheet their is a good chance the #Giants won't be able to match. Not sure he wants to leave. #Colts


its all speculations though.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Remember the five day non neg thing. If its cruz irsay put his foot in it. Punishment if goodell acts.

 

[Shade]

Not Victor Cruz irsay confirms

 

[Exe Gesis]

Dhb or fitzgerald in a trade

 

[Exe Gesis]

Or it wss cruz till he put his foot in his mouth re the five day thing. Now he'll say the deal fell thru to avoid embarrassmrnt

 

[coltstrong]

Irsay did the same thing on twitter last year just before the Vontae Davis trade.

 

[Starburns_]

Maybe it is Larry Fitzgerald. Who'd have to be pretty frustrated with the Cardinals lack of legitimate QB and looking to continue so this year without a top flight QB.

Not sure Luck is top flight yet though. Surely if Fitzgerald was looking to move he'd be wanting to work with one of the big names who are a very good chance of getting him a ring, such as Brady, Rodgers, or Manning.

 

[Shade]

Really like the pickup of Matt Hasslebeck think he will be a great backup from the recent turds we have had a la Curtis Painter

 

[Exe Gesis]

lol @irsay

it was dhb

[Ochre]

According to a lot of the local Indy journo's, DHB wasn't who Irsay was talking about but that fell through so he's a consolation prize.

A Whopper Jnr (to blatantly steal someone else's pun.)

 

[Shupe]

Colts have agreed a deal with DHB. If I knew how to link twitter, I would.
