Should we re-sign Nicks this off-season?

[MTC]

Despite the popular opinion, I really believe we will try to re-sign him this offseason. 

[House]

Absolutely. Veteran presence can't hurt. And the depth is a tremendous plus. Must be a team friendly deal though.

[NewColtsFan]

With all due respect, I really, really don't like these kind of questions when we're not even half-way through the season.

 

At this point,  no, it doesn't look like we'll re-sign Nicks.

 

But I always allow that things could change in the 2nd half of the season and maybe we'd like to bring him back.....

 

I'm as disappointed as anyone that things haven't worked out as hoped for.   I suspect there's much more than meets the eye to this story.    But there's still lots of time for things to work out and I, for one,  hope they do.

[Solon]

My point is that there will be no cashing in on his next deal.  He has proven that even when healthy, he cannot run nor get separation any longer.  He is not the player he used to be.  Anyone else who signs him after the season will be doing so at the team's price, which will likely mean vet min or slightly above and a one year deal. 

Talk about overreaction Monday on NFL Live.

 

Nicks hasn't been targeted much at all, so how you know he's not getting separation? Luck has little or no chemistry with Nicks and T.Y, Reggie, Fleener and Allen are getting open. If he was on a team that really needed a #1 or #2 receiver, he would have better stats. 

[oldunclemark]

no

[B~Town]

Based on what? What has a team seen from him to suggest he has something left?

He's running a lot better than last year and he had plenty of offers and if you have watched he is open a lot he is Lucks last read so most passes his way Luck is under pressure and throws bad passes . There is really nothing to suggest he is slow not moving well or has nothing left in the tank .

Dear God...

 

If there is anything that I am not, it is someone who overreacts. 

 

How do I know?  I watch the games and see him covered when thrown to and when not.  We ain't building rockets here.

I don't trust what you are seeing.  At all.

Let's see if he can pick it up in Reggie's absence. 

 

I'm guessing that Moncreif steps in and makes an impact, and Nicks continues to be meh....but I hope he proves me wrong. 

[pacolts56]

He has 9 games left, plus playoffs hopefully, to both "prove it" and set his contract price.

I'm not opposed to having solid veteran depth at the right price if that's how Nicks turns out...but I'd also add that if there's any WR diva nonsense involved with Nicks, then I'm not interested in the least.

We've already seen Seattle's version of the Jerry Springer Show at WR...with 2 of them slugging it out before the SB and 1 of them screwing the QBs wife.

WRs seemingly have a gift for being temperamental pains in the balls...which we don't need.

In other words...Nicks needs to shut up and prove it, or get out.

[mattceinicram]

If Wayne is out, this is a perfect opportunity for Nicks to prove his worth.  Personally, I am not disappointed in Nicks, I'm disappointed in how we've used him

Wayne is injured? I didn't even see a thread about it.

[Gavin]

The real question is; who do we sign next offseason for our annual, one year WR deal? 

 

My vote is for Cecil Shorts.

Him or Nate Washington, Proven he can produce with a competent QB getting him the ball (1000+ yards in 2011 with Matt Hasselbeck throwing him the ball).....Kinda frustrating to see talented wr's get stuck with bad QB's. Next thing ya know sometimes ya get talk of wr's not producing and such

[throwing BBZ]

Still has something to prove for me.
 I prefer Moncrief starts before him next season no matter.
 So he is replaceable.

The rumor is he might be held out a few games. Google that.

[Happy2BeHere]

My vote is to close this thread and discuss it at a more appropriate time...such as like the final game of NFL Season and we will have to see what Nicks does in the SuperBowl   

[Malakai432]

The answer is clear at this point. Your #14 Nicks Colts jersey will be a collector's item in 2015.

!!!!

I do agree the guy has been virtually invisible but there are plenty of games remaining to sway my opinion at least. That being said, I'm not holding my breath.

Of course his best game thus far was a mere preseason game vs his old team, the Giants. Maybe he will blow up for 800 yards and 10 TDs against them a couple weeks from now then take the rest of the season off, !

[twfish]

Im holding my opinion on nicks until playoffs thats when I feel we use him

[Malakai432]

I'm still pulling for the guy overall I just don't see much to give me optimism.

Great post PAC56! You nailed my thoughts exactly. Show me you wanna play here in INDY, fight to catch passes from Luck, or stay silent as a mouse & be gone next season Nicks. The ball is literally in your court man.
