Greg Toler-we save 5.5millionDwqell Jackson-we save 5million Donald Thomas-we save 3.25millionErik Walden-we save 3.75 million 

Who will replace DQ and Toler? We can't just cut starters that contribute without having a solid plan. I'd still like to hear who's better than Toler at the #2 cb spot.

Let's sign Revis for $2 mil a year isn't an answer.

If you are going to cut guys, especially ones that made a pro bowl (laugh all you want).  You need to have an idea on who you are going to get to replace them.  Who do you think we are going to get to replace these guys?   Are we going to get every free agent target we want for the money we have to spend?

 

I am so glad the posters on forums aren't real front office folks.

We have enough holes to fill without creating more by cutting Toler and DQ. I mean it isn't happening. We just need a ILB who can cover TE's and RB's playing next to DQ, and they'd be a solid duo. And Toler was really good this season.

Dont you realize that we are going to replace all the cuts with All-Pro rookies and sign the best free agents at every position at discounted prices?

Kind of the notion I'm seeing from 80 percent of the posters on here theses days...

no more cuts except donald and trich

Yep...and I sure hope they DO cut Donald Thomas....more so even than Trent.

A slimmed down Trent could be OK as a backup.  Thomas is just an injury waiting to happen...as soon as we need him he will be back in the shop for an extended stay.

Yeah just wait till you see the Colts RB core also with Adrian Peterson, Demarco Murray, Frank Gore, Tevin Colemen, Melvin Gordon, Amir Abdullah, David Cobb, Herron, Bradshaw and Ballard. They can all split carries and I'm sure the Colts will make enough room on the active roster for all of them. Maybe even throw on Reggie Bush for the heck of it.

I would also keep Trent Richardson as the 12th string back just encase of injuries.

Grab Luck a RB.

And another reliable WR.

Tweak the OL and watch him light up the scoreboard.

Good. If we sign McPhee and get Mathis back we can have Werner and Newsome as backups. No need to pay Walden over 5 million to be a backup.

Walden 5 million? Backup? You lost me. Walden was our best OLB this year. He had 6 sacks from the strong side and played the run well. He is making 4.25 million. Do you think McPhee is going to be cheaper? Mcphee play rush LB and he didn't have more sacks that Walden. Also, Mathis is going to be a big question mark coming back from that injury. He's aging and those types of injuries typically will have a pretty substantial effect on a players speed and quickness.

 

I'm not saying that we shouldn't look at McPhee, I'm just puzzled at why you and a lot of others here, think that Walden isn't worth his 4 million salary. $4m a year for a vet that is very solid all around player is not over paid. I could understand this if Walden just didn't produce but he has and then some.

By comparison, Paul Kruger, who most people were saying we should sign two years ago has an 8.2 million cap hit and had 11 sacks last year. Walden is not overpaid.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      his reaction to 5, but specifically 6 qbs going through 15 tells me they have 8 or 9 guys they consider premium players.  go back to 2018 draft and he identified premium players as game changing, teams game planning against through the week players. And identified 8 non qb players that year, obviously Q being one of them. I think about those comments a lot, especially when he traded away for Buck. I say there is 8- possibly 9 premium non qb players on the colts board. If one is there at 15, that’s who they take. If not, you can bet it’s a trade back.

      Colts offseason discussion / Ballard Grievances (merge)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Do u ever get there is any sense of urgency with Ballard when he speaks bout the team? I hear a lot of I think they should. He just comes across like a guy who feels that he is safe as long as Irsay is the owner. Smooth talker, I guess, and I tire of the soft ball questions from the media. Your team was like at the bottom of the league and that was against horrendous qb play.  Your 2nd round pick corner couldn't stay healthy. Your other corners are late round picks and one coming back from serious injury. I know it's a presser and he can't give it away but man, you would think his defense is just peachy. I honestly think this D needs so much work both schematically and on the talent side. I do think listening to him, he will trade back. I think that the guys that he really covets will be gone or way too expensive. The  top 3 wrs will be gone as will be Bowers. Mitchell is probably not his guy the Dends will go fast. There might be a guy at say 12 but I think he won't pill the trigger and say give  up a 2nd or 3r rounder.

      I see most of this forum is fine with Ballard doing what Ballard's always done.   So I'll just remind everybody that he is 54-60-1 and he doesn't have the QB excuse anymore. If he thinks that playing conservative with trading back for more picks and the cap are always the way to go, then I just hope the fan base, and Irsay especially, make no excuses for how those picks work out (and how the top prospects that he didn't make moves for worked out). It's going to be incredibly easy to compare how his strategy works vs what the Texans and Jags have done in FA this year, and it'll be very easy to follow how MHJ,Nabers,Odunze and Bowers perform.
