Let the Andre curse on the Colts begin. Stone hands at the worst possible moment..... (yes....I'm bitter. GL Andre. But I hope to see some hard hits on you.)
They've won 11 games each of the last three years; I don't know if Gore/AJ push them to 13+. Offense, generally, hasn't been their issue.

And he still had 5 more suitors to go after that.....anyone still want to argue that this wasn't a F you to Houston?
Sure. He said it was about winning and not money. Indy gives him a better chance to win than San Diego.

I'm really not and if you were a Texans fan rather than an Andre Johnson fan, you'd see it too. The guy had 5 suitors remaining after San Diego and he was looking at more money and among those suitors were teams like the Packers yet he turned that down in order to say eff you to Houston. Simple as that. I, for one, have the sense to say eff you back.
What will be hard is seeing him in the Colts uniform the first time. Since Fleener already has 80, and Hasselback has 8, I wonder if he wears 88 or 18.
Plus... plays inside for the majority of his games instead of Lambeau. GB really wasn't a realistic option, either for him, or the team.

I don't have the list of the 5 other teams, but I'd be willing to bet that there were teams with good QB's on it, and any of them would have offered him the same or more money, he did this as an eff you. He said that his #1 priority was "Andrew. Luck.", it's pretty obvious what his intentions were. Anyway I for one am looking forward to seeing something like this happen when he goes across the middle against the Texans this season. Swearinger might not be the best in coverage, but he is good with the hit stick.
