Simon to the Colts---13M SB

Update:

Forget the talk that Indianapolis defensive tackle Corey Simon is playing for his future. Contrary to reports, including one in an ESPN.com "Tip Sheet" two weeks ago, the $8 million option bonus the Colts owe Simon next spring is fully guaranteed. It's guaranteed for skill and injury and there is also a non-exercise penalty of $8 million. So if Simon is injured, the Colts still owe him the money. If he is released, he still gets paid. And if the Colts don't exercise the option, yep, he collects then too. The upshot is that Simon will be around in 2006, meaning he'll earn a whopping $16.045 million in his first two seasons with the Colts, and $20 million if he sticks around through 2007. Simon logged 26 snaps on Sunday and, although he's still overweight and out of shape, is starting to make some difference. He's clearly, and quickly, becoming a locker room leader.

The media continues to suck off Corey at every opportunity.  The Indy game was on the other big screen at the bar yesterday, and I watched plenty of Simon.  Unimpressive.

His fat ass plugs the line right now and that's about it. He's totally worth $16mil+ over two years.

Corey Simon a locker room leader?  Now I've heard everything.

Well, at least he helps the line look better before the snap. After the snap he's out of almost every single play.

In the week one game, I saw him come in for ONE PLAY, try to chase a play down from behind and immediately wave to the sideline to get him out of the game. Pathetic.

I noticed that Patterson chased down a 49er skill player in the flat yesterday.  Hollis was zero'd in a couple of times too.

He leads the buffet line.
