The Colts picked up Anthony Castonzo's fifth-year option. He'll be with the Colts for the next two years.

Makes sense. I imagine his next contract will cost us more if we decide to keep him. |

Yes, the real question will be do you give him what he'll likely want when his next contract comes do. This is what can make or break a team, contracts like V. Davis and potentially Costanzo. If the guys are busts, or even just average at that point, it really can set you back. |

I will be very interested to see what a long-term contract for Anthony Castonzo will look like. Frankly I envy him and his agent. Right now, I can already tell he is going to fetch a contract for more than he is worth. But can a team like the Colts with consistent OL issues really let a good LT walk in free agency? I don't think they can. I hope Castonzo improves over the next two seasons to prove himself worthy. |

If he doesn't, he'll be a memory. But for now, Grigson has 2 years to figure it out. I fully expect guys like Toler, Landry and Walden being cut after 2014, in anticipation of clearing cap space for the real core players for 2015 and beyond. |
