Complete contract details, salary cap breakdown for OL Trystan Colon

OL Trystan Colon returns to the Cardinals on a one-year deal. Here are the details for his contract.

It has been said there’s very little rest for the weary in the NFL, and that’s especially the case at this time of the year.

The transactions have been in the hundreds around the league in the first week of the 2024 league year and the Cardinals have been a big part of that.

Eleven players have been re-signed and another eight added that ended the 2023 season on another team. The total includes four players re-signed prior to the official opening of the league year on Wednesday: wide receiver Greg Dortch, defensive end L.J. Collier, linebacker Jesse Luketa and tackle/guard Carter O’Donnell.

Prior to Saturday, we reported on the contract details for 11 players. Cards Wire learned the numbers for another six today, leaving only wide receiver Chris Moore and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga with unknown figures.

The six are punter Blake Gillikin, long snapper Aaron Brewer, offensive linemen Elijah Wilkinson, Trystan Colon and Keith Ismael and cornerback Bobby Price.

Trystan Colon contract, salary cap info

He signed a one-year contract worth $1.75 million with $450,000 guaranteed: a $250,000 signing bonus plus $200,000 of his $1.125 million salary. He can also earn $375,000 ($22,059 per game) by being active for all 17 games.

Colon’s cap hit for 2024 is $1,705,882.

Colon was claimed on waivers by the Cardinals from the Jets in the roster reduction to 53 last summer and began sharing snaps at left guard with Wilkinson early in the season. He played 14 games, started four, did not play in one that he was active and was inactive for two games when sidelined because of a knee injury.

Cardinals bringing back OL Trystan Colon on 1-year contract

Colon started four games at left guard last season and split time with Elijah Wilkinson when he wasn’t starting.

The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back offensive lineman Trystan Colon. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Colon is returning on a one-year deal worth $1.75 million and has $450,000 in guaranteed money. He can make up to $2 million with incentives.

Colon was acquired on a waiver claim before the season began.

He appeared in 14 games and started four at left guard. He was one of four players to start at left guard last season.

He did miss three games with an injury.

Even when Elijah Wilkinson started games at left guard, Colon often split snaps with him.

Colon can play guard and center.

He played a total of 323 offensive snaps last season, the most in his career.

The amount of guaranteed money in his one-year deal suggests he is expected to make the roster and at least be a backup.

Colon is the second of the Cardinals’ players scheduled to be unrestricted free agents to agree to a new deal. Defensive lineman L.J. Collier also re-signed on a one-year contract.

Injury update for Cardinals after loss to Ravens

The injuries to OL Trystan Colon, RB Damien Williams and WR Michael Wilson are still being evaluated.

The Arizona Cardinals came out of their Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a couple of injuries. Head coach Jonathan Gannon gave an update on Monday about the injuries, although he didn’t have much information.

The three players brought up are still being evaluated.

“We’ll see how the next 48 hours go and how that progresses and how the week goes,” he said.

Offensive lineman Trystan Colon has a calf injury that caused him to exit the game on Sunday.

Running back Damien Williams has a foot injury.

Receiver Michael Wilson was seen going to the locker room late in the game. Gannon didn’t specify what his injury was but did say “he should be okay.”

The Cardinals’ first injury report of the week will come out Wednesday afternoon.

Trystan Colon apparently would have moved into lineup even without Elijah Wilkinson’s injury

Jonathan Gannon said Colon started all week in practice even before Wilkinson got hurt.

The Arizona Cardinals had a different starting offensive line for the first time this season on Sunday. Trystan Colon got the start at left guard in place of Elijah Wilkinson, who suffered a neck injury during the week and was ruled out.

However, apparently Colon would have been in the starting lineup regardless of Wilkinson’s injury.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters on Monday “Colon started the whole week.”

Wilkinson was not on the injury report on Wednesday. On Thursday, his neck injury came up.

Colon had been splitting time at left guard in games, usually playing a couple of series. However Dennis Daley, in his return from injured reserve, got worked in at left guard like Colon.

If Wilkinson is able to practice normally this week, the starting left guard job should presumably go back to him.

But we will see if that was imply perfect timing for a benching.

Ravens sign former Bears C Sam Mustipher

The Ravens signed former Bears center Sam Mustipher to add more offensive line depth

[anyclip pubname=”2103″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8036″]

The Baltimore Ravens continue to make moves to improve their roster and depth at important positions of need.  The loss of offensive linemen Ben Powers and Trystan Colon left a hole in the team’s front, especially when it comes to depth.  It’s possible that Ben Cleveland takes Powers spot on the depth chart as the starter, but more depth is always welcome, especially on the offensive line.

The Ravens made a move to solidify their offensive line depth on Monday by signing former Chicago Bears center Sam Mustipher to a one-year deal.  He’ll provide much needed experience, and can come in and play when needed as he started 40 games for Chicago over the past three seasons.

Ravens announce inactives for the Wild Card matchup vs. Bengals

The Ravens announce their inactive players for the Wild Card matchup against the Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens are facing the Cincinnati Bengals in back-to-back weeks. Baltimore lost 27-16 in Week 18 to Cincinnati, but this there is much more at stake, as the playoffs have arrived and the two teams will face off on Wild Card Weekend.

Shortly before kickoff, the Ravens announced their inactive players for this Wild Card matchup. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who hasn’t practiced in over a month, is on the list, as well as running back Kenyan Drake,  defensive back Brandon Stephens, cornerback Pepe Williams, wide receiver Binjimen Victor, center Tryston Colon, and tight end Charlie Kolar.  Stephens is still dealing with an illness that kept him from Week 18.

Williams and tight end Kolar become inactive with the returns of Marcus Peters and Mark Andrews. Peters is returning from injury after being out since getting injured in Cleveland against the Browns in Week 14, and Andrews was inactive in Week 18 to rest up for the playoffs.  The Ravens need to have big games from both if they want to come out of Cincinnati with a win.

Ravens re-sign 4 exclusive rights free agents

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed four exclusive rights free agents

The Baltimore Ravens had a disappointing 2021 season due to multiple factors, finishing 8-9 and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. While the year wasn’t the end result that the team wanted, they were able to get some contributions from young players that stepped up throughout the season.

One of those players was quarterback Tyler Huntley, who stepped in for Lamar Jackson due to illness and injury, showing plenty of growth. On Monday, Baltimore announced that they signed four exclusive rights free agents in Huntley, center Trystan Colon, inside linebacker Kristian Welch and long snapper Nick Moore.

Ravens activate three players from Reserve/COVID-19 list

The Ravens activated three players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday

The Baltimore Ravens have seen COVID-19 run through their locker room over the last week or so, with 17 players being on the Reserve/COVID-19 list at one point. The absences of the players put even more of a dent in a roster that has seen numerous contributors go down due injuries.

On Friday, the team announced that they had activated three players off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list in safety Chuck Clark, center Trystan Colon, and running back Nate McCrary. All three players will provide a boost simply because they are now healthy.

Two Ravens players do not clear COVID-19 protocol in time to play in Week 15

The Ravens will be without two of their players on Sunday, as they didn’t clear COVID-19 protocols in time to play in Week 15

The Baltimore Ravens have been as decimated a team as any during the 2021 season. They’ve dealt with a multitude of injuries and plenty of illness cases, including COVID-19.

On Saturday, it was learned that two of Baltimore’s players who were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list during the week won’t be able to play in Week 15 since they were not able to clear the COVID-19 protocols put in place by the league in safety Chuck Clark and center Trystan Colon .

 

With the postponements of three NFL games this weekend, the NFL made some changes to the COVID-19 testing, but Clark and Colon will still be unable to play. Their absences add to a long list of players who will be unavailable for Week 15.

The loss of Clark is another blow to the already depleted secondary for the Ravens.  Clark had started every game this season, so the fact that he’s unavailable is something new for Baltimore. Colon is the backup center for Bradley Bozeman, so the team will be down yet another offensive lineman who has seen action in multiple games this season.
