Grigson expected to sign FA safety soon... per Rotoworld

[Colts_Fan12]

No doubt we have money, no doubt Gipson is talented. I'm just saying I would rather have

a) 1 of; Pollard, Brown, Miles. 2 round player, 7 Million cap

b) Gipson

That decision is quite easy for me. Draft a S in the 3rd to go with the Vet FA, and Adams. And draft DL, OL too. Thats good to me and saves money. Oh and just FYI Gipson is 24 not 29.

I know he's 24 that's why I said its not like we're trading a 2nd for a 28 or 29 year old hes young so it's just like a drafted player except we know he can play unlike the ? Draftee

I'm actually with RIL here. Seems like we ought sign Miles or Brown and keep our 2nd and the cap...

Gibson is a good deal better than any of the UFA Safeties available, but probably doesn't represent the same value as Miles and a 2nd rounder when you consider how much more he will be paid...

Safety and RB are the two easiest positions to fill, IMO. Every year a few guys at those two positions go from being unknown (or even jobless) to having a great season. It's because Safety and RB are the positions that benefit most from having talent around them.

Mike Adams (Ed Reed, Demarco Murray) can attest to that. Put a mediocre RB behind a great O-Line or an old Safety in a capable secondary and they can make ProBowls...

I'm curious as to why we keep kicking the can down the road on a starting safety.  I really hope they get this taken care of.

 

We got really really lucky with Mike Adams.

When we sign someone, I think it'll be a Mike Adams-like signing from last year.  What I mean is: it'll be soneone that makes us all say, "Meh."  I think Adams was meant to be insurance against Howell getting hurt or being underwhelming.  Of course, Adams was needed and surprised everyone (probably including Grigson).  But I'm willing to bet that Grigson plans to draft a safety (if one makes it to the top of his draft board in any of the rounds) and add one more veteran presence in FA (either before or after the draft).  Then he'll call it good and figure in out later if it seems a deficient area in TC...

I don't think Grigson will make a move at safety until after the draft. As much as people say the safety class is poor. I think there are a few starters out there.

Derron Smith, Cody Prewitt, and Tartt could all start. Tartt would be the best option since he already has the size to play in the box.

[Coltsluckyghost]

Sign

Pollard

Draft any of following

Collins

Tartt

Prewitt

Rollins

Smith

[Exodus]

If Will hill is still available.....please oh please

[Jason_]

Pollard would fit in well Grigson likes  them old and injuried

 

yep, that certainly fits the bill for every FA that Grigson has signed....oh wait

We are sitting on roughly $10,660.220.00.......With draft picks to sign......If we do pick up a Safety in FA (Not likely going to happen) then it will be someone cheap whos just looking for a chance to start...Not an established starter http://overthecap.com/calculator/indianapolis-colts/
