Colts signed C/G Phil Costa, formerly of the Cowboys

[TheDude]

Dun know bout you but I'm ascreered.

He signed 2yr for 2.7M (which think was less than the $1.5M per here). Can go to $3.5 w/playing incentives.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Like Costa, think he'll be servicable there and maybe even a little better than that if he stays healthy.

 

[jobberone]

Lol. Sorry, but *nobody* on this site *ever* made the case that Phil Costa was going to be a better player than a first round draft pick. The question was whether he could give a team meaningful snaps since we had limited picks and more important holes elsewhere. To which you said he was the worst player you'd ever seen in a Cowboys uniform, or whatever attention-seeking overstatement you assured us was the case.

As to Phil Costa being able to play. I'm not going to agree with you. It'll just be me, the Cowboys who drafted, extended, and tried to renegotiate him to keep him on the roster as a reserve, the Colts, who just signed him to a contract with the possibility to start, the Patriots and the Lions--both of whom were also reportedly interested--on the one side obviously *not* agreeing with you. And you, of course, on your side. Continuing to be 'right' because the consequences of being wrong on this topic just like just about every other argument you've made about our OL the last two years is just too painful to ever actually admit. We're thoroughly convinced by your assessment because you say it with such conviction you can't possibly be wrong.

Wonder what fallen pebble will say when Costa's a starter on an AFC Championship team?

Well good luck to him.

There is going to be a potential Trench Warfare of the Ages at the Dallas vs Indy game with Costa vs McClain/Bass/Crawford/Herring/ [fill in blank]

Hope it is flexed - don't want to be distracted having 2 games on at once

It is a sad day we could not have seen Costa vs McClain in the Oklahoma drill during training camp. We have all lost with this one.

Marginal player...

 

[Wood]

Costa was from my high school...so I will tread lightly here. Good Luck in Indy.

Ouch.

 

[kjcmeb]

SWEET!!! Definitely a 3rd round comp pick coming back for him.

 

[Idgit]

Ouch.

I mean....really.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Oh boy just looked at next years schedule. Yup Indy is on there.

Our mish mash defensive line who can't play (I read it here) is going to get single handedly dominated by Phil Costa.

We will rue the day we let.....The Costa....get away.

Haha. Battle for the ages.

I doubt you've read that. Dallas doesn't currently have a defensive line. At least not a starting one.

Highly unlikely someone said they can't play. They don't even exist yet.

Phsst! Take the red pill. Then jump down this hole.......

Not only did he get picked up by another team but he got picked up by another team quickly. Colts have done a good job acquiring talent.
