Comments for Brackett Signed at http://www.18to88.com , comment 1 to 16 out of 16 comments http://www.18to88.com Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:46:08 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9035 Apparently they are meeting with him on Monday. My guess is that they resign him. - DZ Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:04:40 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9034 Sorgi is due a $275,000 roster bonus next week. That's a lot for a backup QB. It also means we'll probably be looking for another QB late in the draft. We would have been in trouble with Sorgi for any period of time, but we're absolutely screwed with Painter. - Joma Sat, 06 Mar 2010 04:21:46 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9032 What the ? Adam Schefter just announced we released Sorgi. Why? Painter can't throw for his life and I remember interviews where Peyton said Sorgi really helped him with tape analysis. Now Painter is our backup QB. - jpjandrade Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:36:46 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9030 I'm surprised we released Sorgi given how bad Painter played this year. - Joma Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:58:14 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9028 idea, but I still think we need a third good DE. However, I'll get over that and say that this is good news all around. The offseason just got much happier. - dmstorm22 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:53:52 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9027 Right, I know Bethea was a first round tender. I just don't expect anyone to sign him. I'm more interested in what happens to the second round guys. - DZ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:42:50 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9026 Polian tendered the right guys, signed the right guy to the right contract, and let the right guys go (Bye-bye Rushing, Jennings, and others). By the way, I never really liked Rushing, because he was on the roster solely as a punt returner. The team never put him at cornerback, even with everybody hurt. Now there are no current holes in our starting lineup, and we can draft for depth and depth only. It's a nice luxury to have. Oh, and we can still re-sign Hagler and Keiaho (and maybe a couple of others) for the minimum when they aren't picked up by another team. - Cass Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:28:03 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9025 would give us a first if signed by another team, not a second - Robert I.

He's played what now, 4 games in a year and a half? And considering when he tore it, he won't be at 100% for the season either (my unprofessional impression is that it takes a year to be "healthy" after an ACL tear but 2 years to get back to where you were). I understand it more with Frazier up in Minny but for non-Tampa 2 teams it just seems like a big risk to take an injured guy who's only played here. Oh well, I hope it works out for him, here or elsewhere - psvirsky Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:08:24 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9020 I agree. I love MJax. Sounds like he's a popular guy with other teams though... - DZ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:46:54 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9019 That sounds high to me. If I had to guess, I'd say 5 years $25-30 million. - DZ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:46:04 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9018 I really want MJax back. I seem to remember Polian saying that the prognosis for him making a full recovery was good. And I had hopes (delusions?) of a 2010 Colts secondary with the Zombie, Bethea, Hayden, Powers and MJax manning the slot. Even in 2007 when he was a healthy starter, the Colts moved him inside in nickle situations. And that is where he excelled. And yes, I know his price tag was too high for that role (especially coming off the injuries)... but damn you Vikings or Steelers or whoever else, I still want him back! - Doug England Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:45:01 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9017 Best news of the day! Based on the team's earlier comments regarding making Brackett a competitive offer, I was assuming something in the $40-45MM, 4-6 year range. We'll find out soon enough, eh? - Chip Bennett Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:43:33 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/march/brackett-signed.html#comment-9016 Also, Schefter mentioned the Steelers as a possible destination for MJax. I like the guy and really don't want to see him on a good rival (who I begrudgingly respect). I'd rather see him on the Vikings, a good team where he can have more success, but where I won't be scared of playing them and having him make a big play to win. - psvirsky Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:31:48 +0100
