One of my buddy's is a die hard colts fan, and we were talking the other day and he told me that he's pretty sure the colts are done with B.Sanders. He explained the reasoning would be he's always on IR and it's pretty much dead money. NOW, I would love nothing more than jerry signing a guy like that... I think IF he did become a free agent we should be all over him.
 
He's a dynamic player, when healthy. But truthfully, I think I'd balk at signing a guy that you can almost bank on playing a limited amount of games for you. His injury history would scare the bejeezus out of me.

True... But, Colombo was also that type of player ya know?? B.sanders would be to good to pass up IF he became a FA, I think it would be really dumb not to bring him in. Don't give him top money until he proves his self...

Sure, if we could get him at a bargain-basement, league-minimum type deal, by all means give him a tryout. But I bet there's a team (looking at you, Dan Snyder) that would be willing to overpay based on his name value.
 
Columbo was a different case. He wasn't injury prone, he was just out for two years because of one big severe injury.

Bob Sanders is always injured due to one thing or another, but never anything major. His play when he is healthy is what justified him having a spot on the roster, because when he plays, he's one of the best.

Bob Sanders is Jacob Rogers if he had been an all-pro dominating tackle when he played. No thanks.
 
The Indianapolis Star reports that the Colts have placed strong safety Bob Sanders on injured reserve with a torn left biceps. His season is now over.

Highly regarded as one of the premier safeties in the NFL, Sanders played in just two games this season while recording three tackles and one interception. This proceeds his 25-tackle, one-interception 2008 season in which he also battled injuries and started just six games.

Sanders is due to make $620,00 (plus a $2.17 million signing bonus and a $2.83 roster bonus) in 2010, $5.5 million in 2011 and $7 million in 2012. He turns 29 next February and beat writer Philip B. Wilson speculates that the Colts will cut their losses in the offseason to free up salary.

When healthy, Sanders is a game-changer from his safety position. He’s as versatile as Troy Polomalu and Ed Reed, and the best tackler of the trio. But injuries have ransacked his promising career and while he helped Indy win a Super Bowl a few years ago, maybe it is time to move on. He would certainly drum up a lot of interest on the free agent market because NFL teams are always in need of safeties.

His injury issues not withstanding, Sanders would definitely be worth the risk if the Colts do decide to part ways with him in the offseason.
 
Is it wish list time already? okay... Bob Sanders would be nice at FS keep Hamlin around or draft a Safety just incase. Aaton Kampman or Shawne Merriman at Middle Inside and Julious Peppers at Left End and I am happy... lol

Um, why get rid of Bradie and Brooking? Merriman wouldn't be a good ILB, he's a natural OLB, and I'd rather Ware and Spencer at this point over him. Julius Peppers isn't a 3-4 DE at all and would not work in our scheme, because he'd take Spencer's place, not Spears. Would you really want that? I wouldn't.

Not Bradie and Brooking... Bradie and Spears... Because Bradie < Kampman or Merriman... and Spears < Peppers

Stick to Madden.
 
im sorry i love bob sanders game

i think he is one of the best safties when healthy.

but that sadly for him is a rare occurence. dude is always hurt, year after year

i could see us signing him, him playing at a pro bowl level then him heading to the playoffs hurt like hes done in indy for years
 
Not only no, but hell no. Why would we want a player that NEVER stays healthy. We already have Barber and Newman.

i'd rather get Bob Sanders backup Antoine Bethea

I think the emergence of Bethea has made Sanders expendable. Plus I figure Bethea will be franchised.

I'm not sure if the Rams will franchise Atogwe again. He might be a good alternative. Better then what we got right now.
 
even if we were to be interested im sure jerry wont cash it all out on him. and by doing that we'd have no chance to get him. Al or Snyder would pay much more than dallas im sure.
 
If we are gonna go after a guy wanting pro bowler money, I'd much rather have Logan Mankins. **** off Kyle Kosier.
