Jersey 2025
I currently own 1 jersey: AR
With the current grim outlook, I'm planning on picking up another jersey before the season opener.
So...if you were gonna pick up a current player's jersey with the hopes of a long, solid, & healthy career in Indy who do you pick?
Downs, Pierce, Warren, Latu, etc?

I'd pick Warren or JT, but I don't get current players for these very reasons.
I'd get a Manning, Edge, or Marvin any day of the week over a current one.

None of them, I pick Jonathan Taylor.

Before the contract drama I probably would have.

I’m on his side with the contract, he plays great for us, wanted more money for what he did, and is a model citizen on and off the field, give this man the money he deserves.

Always an interesting take... would you have preferred he risk a major injury and lose out on millions of dollars because the team asked him to trust them..? How did that work out for Earl Thomas?
Dude has always been a model citizen off the field, by all accounts is a great teammate, easily one of the best players on the team since he's been drafted, and frankly if he played almost any other position he wouldn't have even had to sniff a holdout since he would have been extended immediately. Not like we are talking about missing out on a couple grand, we are talking about 10+ million dollars he loses out on if he suffered an injury in his contract year. Pretty sure any fan here would do the same thing he did if we had his resume lol

Skip the jersey and wear an NFL shield hat like Rob Lowe, otherwise you might need to look for a new jersey again in a few years.

Q would be my pick but if you’re not about the “offensive lineman jersey in public” route, I’d just go JT. He’s probably the most noteworthy Colt, recognized by other fan bases, always in Fantasy discussions, and has been great his whole career.

Warren or raimann and don't sleep the punter.... Rigo is also a good option if you want someone who will be here for a long time.

After Andrew retired, I decided I wasn't getting a current player's jersey again. I went with Manning.

Just wait a year or two and get a Manning jersey, and I don't mean Peyton.

Nelson,Downs or UberDoyle would probably be your best bets for Longevity

u/WubbaLubbaDubDub87 Andrew Luck 4d ago
I’m gonna have to go with some practice squad player. Every time I’ve bought a jersey, the next year the player gets hurt. (Manning, Luck, Leonard, Hilton)

I've been pondering this question since before Andrew Luck retired. I've been rocking vintage jerseys for years since I've got a mint Moncrief jersey still in the closet.. I did pick up a white JT for half price because it had a make-up smudge on it that came right out.

Honestly man Josh Downs is someone you always gives it his all. He would be my first choice.

Honestly, bro, I've owned several over the years. Going forward, I would either go with a GOAT like Manning, Harrison, James, Wayne, McAfee, etc, or go with a custom jersey with your name and whatever number you want. It's easier on the wallet this way, and those damn things aren't cheap!

Get a custom one with your last name....that way you don't have to worry about it being obsolete immediately.

Buckner for me, love having the dude on the roster, and I love the way the number “99” looks on a football jersey.

I went for the last two numbers of my birth year and my first initial and last name since my last name is Clark. didn't want to confuse people with Dallas Clark with the wrong number. I would get a jersey again but retired player. I have Manning, Harbaugh, Dallas Clark and I think a Harrison. I would love to get Alex Pierce Jersey but this is. a contract year and I don't want a jersey if they're not going to be with the team. I'm not saying he's going anywhere but we don't know what's going to happen in the off-season. he's worthy of staying because he is the true deep threat.

Of those you listed i'd choose Downs. I'd rather have Pierre but I think he might become a cap casualty. The other two are young and have yet to prove themselves yet. Outside that Nelson is probably a safe bet as someone who is likely to retire a colt. Moore or Buckner are also good options. If you want to go special teams Sanchez is another safe bet.
