Diem signed long term...

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 21, 2005) -- The Indianapolis Colts signed right tackle Ryan Diem to a seven-year contract, another step in keeping their high-scoring offense together for one more season.

bummer... i was hoping he would hit the FA market, a possible replacement for zeus.

now with this contract IND is going to have exactly $3.86 to resign their entire defensive staff... good luck.

Poor decision on the part of the Colts, they could find somebody to replace Diem, does everybody in the world know but the Colts staff that their offense is not the problem, its their defense.

Diem stays, meaning DeMulling more than likely is gone. Its going to be a deep market for Guards this year.

Likely the thinking. Tackles will be overpaid for this off-season, so keeping Diem, as weird as it sounds, was probably a good decision by the Colts.

Be fair... the Colts have an entire $11.76 to give to the Colts defense. The entire sum is being given to Dwight Freeney in the form of a signing bonus. But luckly, the Colts have decided to keep on the rest of their "defense" by paying them in Denny's Grand Slam coupons.

They overpaid.
