Got this from someone close to 80: "Dre on owners private jet headed to Indy. He called Gore & they agreed both to Indy. Philly wanted both"

Interesting. Per @LanceZierlein, Andre Johnson and Frank Gore both agreed to head to Indy together. Would be a big get for Colts if true.

I said in other threads, we don't need them to be who they were, just need them to be who we need them to be. Stay healthy as they have been (combined 1 missed game since 2011). Gore gets 4 YPC and doesn't fumble so as to help balance the offense, AJ gets his 80+ catches on 3-4 yard patriot-like routes while TY and Moncrief blow the top off the Defense.

I was trying to post this earlier today but my account is apparently too new to make a topic.

 

Amazing news.  

 

 we don't need them to be who they were, just need them to be who we need them to be. 

 

This is exactly what we need.

I think both players fill a huge void. I love the locker room presence they will bring.

 

However, I want these to be short deals. I expect us to overpay, but I love short contracts for aging vets.

Will be 2-3 year deals I would imagine.

heck ill take best 2 out of 3 there at least

You have to understand as a UVa fan it's hard for me to say I want Worilds, but he was really good in college and has done very well in Pittsburgh. Can't knock talent regardless of a silly bias.

According to my timeline (no other sources) Andre Johnson, Gore and maybe Wilfork headed to Indy. Pagano used to be head recruiter at the U

 

Yeah no sources on the Wilfork thing but "can I get two claps and a Ric Flair!?"

mike adams, wilfork, hasselback, gore, johnson, redding. We're a senior citizen team

Then, get Antrel Rolle too, while you are at it. That dude can play nickel CB as a 3rd star safety if necessary, that experience is invaluable, IMO.

 

Andre Johnson, Frank Gore, Vince Wilfork and Antrel Rolle. I don't think anyone will complain Irsay and Grigson did not try. :)

 

Well, the Patriots of 2007 had a mix of vets and young guns that took them to the SB, so let's not dismiss vet experience as not important. On D, I think a little bit vet experience helps, and when Luck is kept upright on a key 3rd down play by Gore in the playoffs, we will cherish it when it happens :).

This will be nice if it happens.  Both still have a few good years.  More importantly, they can mentor the young players already rostered and the draft picks likely to be added.

 

WR: TY, AJ, Moncrief, Tyler Lockett KSU 2nd/3rd round, Duron Carter

 

RB: Gore, TR/Bradshaw, draft pick, Herron,

    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
    • I just saw Pittman's "Reception Perception" charts... so here it goes:
