As someone who lives in Nashville, I've noticed that the national media loves to ignore the AFC South, so today, I'm going to unignore.Is unignore even a word? I have no idea, but if it's not, I'm making it one. Welcome to the Thursday newsletter where we're going to be covering the AFC South, the AFC South and then some more AFC South. However, I won't be going 100% AFC South, because you should never go 100% AFC South. We'll also be ranking quarterbacks who could have a breakout year and taking a look at unique contract, so let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. You should especially tell them to sign up if they're a fan of an AFC South team. Tell them we don't ignore the AFC South there. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is with them. 1. Today's show: Burning training camp questions for the AFC SouthIf I had to rank divisions this year based on which ones are the most intriguing, I'd probably put the AFC South at the top. The have a new star receiver ( ), the have a new star quarterback ( ), the are likely going to trade their starting quarterback ( ) and not only did the just hire one of the most succe Olli Maatta Kids Jersey sful college coaches of all-time (Urban Meyer), but they also added one of the most succe sful college quarterbacks ever ( ). Basically, there's a lot to talk about with the AFC South so we thought we would use Thursday's episode of the Pick Six Podcast to answer one burning question for each team in that division.We'll cover our biggest question for the Colts here, but if you want to hear the rest of our questions, you'll have to listen to the podcast (You can also ).Can Frank Reich fix Carson Wentz?If the Colts want to be a contender this season, they're going to need a super effort from Wentz. Although the former quarterback struggled during Sidney Crosby Women Jersey his final few seasons in Philly, there is a chance we could see him improve in Indy and that's because he's reuniting with Reich, who served as his offensive coordinator in 2017 while both were with the Eagles. That was Philly's Super Bowl season and with Reich running the offense, Wentz was an MVP candidate before getting injured late in the year. I'm not sure about you, but I am fully on the Wentz Wagon. I think Reich is going to fix him and I think there's a good chance we could see the Colts in the AFC title game.As for the rest of today's episode, Jeff Kerr joined Will Brinson and they spent plenty of time talking about the Titans, Jaguars, and Texans (along with the Colts), so if you're a fan of the AFC South, you're definitely going to want to check out the episode.To listen to today's episode -- and to follow the podcast -- . 2. Colts unveil new throwback uniform for 2021The Indianapolis Colts , but since the Colts uniform has never undergone any major changes throughout their history, you might be wondering how this throwback is different from their normal uniform, so I'm going to point out all the changes.The new uniform is a throwback to the 1956 season.Here are the main differences between the old school uniform and the uniform they usually wear:Helmet.The horseshoe that usually goes on the side of the helmet will be moved to the back Brandon Tanev Jersey of the helmet for the throwback game. The back of the helmet will actually feature two mini horseshoes with one on each side of Indy's blue stripe.Player Numbers.Numbers on the throwback jerseys will change slightly to mirror Colts uniforms from the 1950s. The TV numbers will be above the shoulder stripes on the throwbacks (The TV numbers are below the shoulder stripes on the current uniforms).Stripes. The shoulder panel on the throwback will feature three stripes instead of the two used on the current uniform (The socks will also feature three stripes instead of two). The pants will feature one blue stripe down the seam instead of two.The home throwback uniforms, which are blue, will only be worn in one game this year and that will come in Week 12 (Nov. 28) against the . You can see a . If you want to see what the current uniform looks like so you can compare the two, you . The Colts also released a special video, which you can . 3. hand out unique record-setting contract to Fred WarnerFred Warner Pittsburgh Penguins Women Jersey is now the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL after the 49ers to $95 million, which means he can now afford to go to space with Jeff Bezos.Although Warner landed a record-setting deal, that's only one reason why it's notable. The other reason is because of the unique way that the contract is structured. The deal includes two voidable years at the end that the 49ers can BUY BACK so that they don't void.Here's at look at the details and :Signing Bonus: $12.32 million2021: $920,000 base salary2022: $2.564 million base salary plus $12.68 million option bonus2023: $12.925 million base salary2024: $15.3 million base salary2025 (VOID): $17.65 million base salary2026 (VOID): $17.65 million base salaryBuyback bonus:$3.6 million (49ers must pay Warner this bonus in 2024 to buy back the final two years of his deal) The voidable years are in there for two reasons. First, it allows the 49ers to spread out Warner's signing bonus over six seasons while also allowing them to spread out his roster bonus over five years. If the 49ers want to rescind the voidable years, then they'll have to cut Warner a check for $3.6 million in 2024 to buy them back. If that happens, the final two years will become active and Warner will be Ryan Reaves Jersey under contract in 2025 and 2026 at the salary numbers listed above. Basically, if the 49ers want to keep him for the final two years, they'll have to pay him $3.6 million plus $17.65 million plus $17.65 million, which comes out to $38.9 million.That really makes this two contracts in one with the second deal being a two-year, $38.9 million contract.Warner is in the NFL, but that likely won't last for long since of the Colts is expected to break that record in the very near future. 4. Ranking quarterbacks by who's most likely to have a breakout seasonIf there's one quarterback last year who had a breakout season, it was definitely Josh Allen. After putting up mediocre numbers during his first two years in Buffalo, Allen exploded onto the scene in 2020 with a season that was so good he spent most of the year in the MVP conversation.With that in mind, Chris Trapa so took a look around the NFL to try and figure out which quarterbacks are mostly likely to have a breakout season in 2021. Here are his top three candidates. , . , . , . If you want to check out Trapa so's . 5. Three teams po sibly eyeing Deshaun Watson trade Due to his legal situation, Deshaun Watson's
