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

[Indeee]

Sorry, I don't know how to post links, but blurb states that Stevie Brown and Bernard Pollard are possibilities

 

Thoughts?

 

Personally I don't know much bout Brown and I think Pollard is too old

[Boiler_Colt]

Brown was here one year on special teams. Had one really good year with the Giants then fell off the map. I have always like Pollard, but he is getting up there in age and is coming off a major injury. He would be familiar with the scheme though, having spent a few years with the Ravens.

[jskinnz]

Pollard is just a guy to me. Does not have the skills the colts need at safety plus he is old and coming off injury.

[PrincetonTiger]

either one could be serviceable until a "draft pick" is ready

[COLTS449]

Hopefully its one of the RFA's. Hill or Gibson.

[Yoshinator]

With Rahim Moore gone I'm not excited about anyone left. What makes this news even worse is that now we might not draft a S like Cody Prewitt in the 2nd round or at the very least we might not start our drafted Safety. This has me very worried.

[HtownColt]

Well they did say Colts were still eyeing a couple more free agents, probably waiting for the price to go down

[Nobody]

He's no world beater, but we have one starting safety on the roster and he always plays out of his mind vs the Pats. I'm good with that signing.

[MTC]

Where on Rotoworld does it say that?  Nevermind, found it.

 

Colts GM Ryan Grigson expects to sign one of the remaining free agent safeties.

The Colts are looking for a starter opposite Mike Adams after parting ways with LaRon Landry. Stevie Brown is Rotoworld's top available safety and has ties to Indianapolis. Free agent Bernard Pollard also played under coach Chuck Pagano in Baltimore and remains unsigned. Mar 28 - 4:33 PM

I wouldn't mind Jeromy Miles. He's probably cheap and is a serviceable safety. 

[Gavin]

Reading that quote....Look at the source from which they got their information.....I wonder if this just an assumption there part based on something they read on the website

[BrentMc11]

A lot of us wanted Pollard when Chuck got here, but now I see him as Landry Part 2.

 

Stevie Brown was good on special teams.  He has had a few injuries that have set him back.

[jskinnz]

He's no world beater, but we have one starting safety on the roster and he always plays out of his mind vs the Pats. I'm good with that signing.

When he was younger - he was a JAG. Now he is a older, injured JAG. I don't think he is a starting caliber player any longer.

[Gavin]

Dwight Lowery or Stevie Brown or Dawan Landry if we pick someone up...Though from a pure numbers standpoint we have 4.....we are fine from that standpoint.

[NewColtsFan]

Superman's find,  Jeromy Miles is the guy I hope we sign.

 

Young,  athletic,  talented, has played some,  should be affordable....   and Ozzie Newsome is a good judge of talent.

[Colts_Fan12]

We should wait maybe more will get cut after June 1st

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure it will be

It looks like RotoWorld was mentioning guys with connections to Indy and/or Pagano/Grigson

[COLTS449]

Unless its Gibson or Hill as RFA's we should just draft a safety in the 2nd. Tartt could come in and start day 1 IMO, as could a guy like Smith. Or if we could teach Holliman how to tackle and be aggressive then he could be a star. Wouldn't mind Harris either, but personally I hope its Tartt in the 2nd/3rd, then Amos in the 4th. those 2 guys may end up being the best safeties in the class. Either way I hope we draft 2 safeties. Sample or Geathers would be nice in the 4th/5th too.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Here's to hoping it's Tashaun Gipson.

[backshoulderfade]

Gipson would be amazing nut the Browns would match.

[Deathiltis]

This is just hearsay. Like Rotoworld knows what Grigson is thinking about maybe doing sometime soon. I'll believe it when there's some actual substance behind the talk.

Btw I wouldn't mind going after Gipson. You look for starters in the draft, he's a starter. Give the Second Round pick for him.

[colts8718]

Pollard would fit in well Grigson likes  them old and injuried

[bestQBever]

he doesn't play out of his mind against the pats, he just ends up injuring one of their players every time.

[CR91]

Pollard. Please let it be pollard

[Nobody]

he doesn't play out of his mind against the pats, he just ends up injuring one of their players every time.

And I am okay with that

[RealityIsLuck]

Here's to hoping it's Tashaun Gipson.

..... And here's to hoping it's NOT Tashaun Gipson and we keep our 2nd!

[UKColt13]

Gipson please.

I'd happily give up our 2nd to fill a huge need with a great player.

[Patagonia Chris]

I wouldn't mind Jeromy Miles. He's probably cheap and is a serviceable safety. 

 

I'm not sure he is a starting caliber safety though. He's only started 3 games in his career.

[mattceinicram]

I feel like we're running low on cap here

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Most of the nfl and fans have DeValued the RB position. Griggs has DeValued the Safety position.

[iLoveMyBoys]

Was really hoping Pagano had a chance to work with Taylor Mays he is a young physical freak that signed with the Vikings i think for pretty cheap

[Colts_Fan12]

..... And here's to hoping it's NOT Tashaun Gipson and we keep our 2nd!

is this a joke

[RealityIsLuck]

is this a joke

I think Gipson is a bit overrated in my opinion, and I am not a fan of giving up draft picks to begin with, let alone while still paying a player too much.

 

I'd rather have any of: Bernard Pollard, Jeremy Miles, Stevie Brown, A 2nd, and about 7 Mil in cap space than Gipson.

 

Price tag, and the pick would explain why he's had such a lack of interest from any team, including us.

he's young a d better then anyone were getting in the 2nd and we have no one but a over 30 Mike Adams playmakers cost money

[Dark Superman]

Colts need to just go right after Will Hill.

Makes sense..

[Dark Superman]

is this a joke

I was thinking the same thing..

[Dark Superman]

Pollard. Please let it be pollard

I rather Will Hill.

Not saying Safety has to be drafted with the 2nd, there is way too much talent in the second too give up a pick that easily. Also rookie contracts are way cheaper then what Gipson would require.

 

And I know playmakers cost money, we have a lot of them that will be up for pay days soon, so we need to save money and draft well. Making it all the more important to not spend and give up picks (at the same time atleast).

we have plenty of money to sign our players others will have contracts expire and we will cut older players too its not like we're trading a pick for a 28 or 29 year old player

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.
