Colts "chasing" OG's Vasquez and Levitre

[HungarianColtsFan]

I'd take both any time, however most likely we will have only one of them.

 

Here's the reason why we need them (I'm Captain Obvious right now.):

However this attraction is one-sided and unrequtied. :-)

Dude reitz sucks at guard plain and simple. He should be our tackle

Correnction in your statement.  Reitz sucks out right and shouldn't be on the line period...

Here is an interesting read from San Diego.The fans comments seem to suggest Vasquez is a solid player but not elite or pro bowl caliber.They say he will be over paid.http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/mar/10/louis-vasquez-chargers-free-agency/

Well, if fans think so...

Read through the Bills forums, they aren't real concerned about losing Levitre either.

thats because they are Guards...fans havent endured what we have over the last 6 years with below average to ridiculous bad play at G. we are probably overvaluaing their true worth and they are undervaluing. Only Lions/arizona/bears fan know our pain lol

honestly any of those 2 would be fine IMO. i rather get Vasquez because of the scheme/strength but is not like levitre is a slouch. i think levitre is more sound technically but less brute strength..

yeah, I would take either because Levitre is better than what we had but then again, I might be better too. I would be concerned about Levitre being able to live up to the money he'll get in a system that doesn't suit him.

I don't know what makes u think he can play tackle

Well being a former basketball player, he has the size and agility to be a tackle, ya never know, he can end up being pretty good

That to and we just re-signed him. Def not a move I expected from the executive of the year. Unless they plan to test him at tackle. I still think we should at least try him out at tackle, he sucks st guard though, end of story. Anyone who thinks he is good or "solid" at guard obviously doesn't watch offensive linemen play

Reitz is fine as depth. I proposed the question before to somebody else, but did you expect to find all new pro bowl material O-lineman? 

[Coltsfanforlife12]

He's fine as depth but the previous guy was talking about him in a starting aspect and that is a big no no lol

Well actually he said that he didn't expect him to be resigned from the executive of the yr.. 

[Coltsfanforlife12]

Ah i was going off what the guy above me said.  I'm glad they didn't resign him.  he certainly didn't earn the right to be paid to play professional football..

They did resign him.

No but there are better options such as Matt slauson

Reitz could be seen just as depth. We don't know what is going to happen yet in free agency so saying there are better options is just too early to tell right now. Reitz has improved a lot since he first came here and could keep developing into a good guard. I don't know what makes you think he's so terrible, because he isn't.

[Jordan31]

Well there are a lot of players that only sign with teams based off of money. Doesn't matter is there good or not.

That is what I hate about free agency. I wish more people signed to win rather than to get rich. I mean, they already make a TON of money, right? What could they possibly need with an extra $5 mil per?

Reitz signed for 1yr @ 500k....grigson not really sticking his neck out

Are you serious?

Most players only get one big contract in there careers, and most of them have a max 10 year career. Then they have nothing, a lot of them don't have degrees and are used to living a certain way and are not willing to just sell their mansion and move into a rented apartment.

 

For a lot of these players they are depending on this money of the rest of their life.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Reitz is OK its that McGlynn guy that sucks BADLY honestly he is painful to watch. Reitz isn't a world beater but is an OK pass blocker very long arms.

Ok guess giving up the most QB hurries in the league and having the 2nd or 3rd worse line in the league means joe reitz is good

[needanoline63]

Reitz needs to be moved to tackle, end of discussion. His size is not ideal for a offensive guard

I understand that, I mean more-so the way they sign huge contracts and then hurt the cap. Especially when it comes to people like Joe Flacco. Signing that huge contract and then losing Boldin and possibly Ellerbe and definitely losing Kreuger (Krueger?).

[Luckynumber12]

Id love to sign both of them would give us great depth i just think it would be too much
