Damnit

[SDakColts]

Do you happen to have a source? If so then yeah Dockett might be a good one to consider. I guess we will have to see who else ends up getting released.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Next man up.

*sigh*

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported Jones is likely out for the season following ankle surgery.

[mirobi]

Come on GORE and recruit Dockett

[12dalegend]

Coltʻs will prevail IMUA! "stand firm"

As for Dockett, the 49ers are paying him 2 Million Dollars not to play on their team next year.

Ask and you shall rreceive

If Art Jones is indeed lost for the season, as some strongly suggesting, I feel it will be DT by committee for the #Colts.

[TKnight24]

Who is on that committee? IMO Henry Anderson, Montori Hughes, Zach Kerr. NT David Parry in some instances is a possibility acc to Pagano

Wow. That really really sucks. Like really.

[PeterBowman]

Colts didnt have the depth to cope much with AJs absence last year....this year they do.

Thanks I appreciate it, I also seen that Jason LaCantfora said the same so that is two sources now I guess.

[TKnight24]

Art Jones being healthy was the reason the Colts didn't go out and sign big FA or draft a DT in early rds.

Let's see what dockett has to offer....art jones future in indy isn't looking good at all

[RockThatBlue]

Do the colts bring him back for his 3rd year?

[JlynRN]

Man that sucks  Hope he has a quick recovery. Next man up, unless we can bring someone in.

Yes I agree we need more depth at the DT position for that long journey to the playoffs and beyond

[SDakColts]

Maybe Joe Vellano for a cheap young guy to come in and compete. Or maybe Matt Shaughnessy as well as options other than Dockett at this time. However Dockett is looking like one of the better options.

[Dark Superman]

We really need to look into a trade..

 

This one hurts.

[NewColtsFan]

Do the colts bring him back for his 3rd year?

 

Yes.....

 

He gets another chance.    It's a 5-year deal.    Eating 3 years of financial hits is difficult.

 

We may ask him to re-do his deal and perhaps take a smaller base salary with incentives/bonuses for games played.

 

We'll see.     But in the Big Picture,  I think we want him back.

[Dark Superman]

Didn't someone already sign Dockett earlier this off-season?

[TKnight24]

3 1st rounders

The roof to the stadium since it's defective anyway

And 5 cases of Mott's apple juice to the Texans for JJ Watt

[TKnight24]

49ers, they just cut him today

[SDakColts]

Didn't someone already sign Dockett earlier this off-season?

Yeah the 49ers signed him to I think a 2 year 7 mil deal, but just released him.

no its not

[SilentHill]

We should try out Barry Cofield and see how he is progressing from injury.

Very simple.... Never let those who can't do what you do tell YOU that you can't then, Now or anymore… https://t.co/QsbEvNdvLR

To early to say, That depends on who is available to replace him and how his current replacement performs in Jones absence. With that said I don't think there is any way we would be getting a player who is anywhere close to what he was prior to having these injuries

[Track Guy]

It sounds like there's still an off chance he comes back later in the season. But if as they say is more likely, Jones is out for the year... I'm not sure we can really replace what he'd bring to the team. He's not quite what I'd call "elite" at his position, but he's not "just another guy" either. He also has veteran experience. I assume this means we'll be seeing more of those 2 rookies out there - both had quite promising preseasons on the bright side. 

[MarlySullivan]

Honestly i feel we should role with what we got. We have a lot of youth up front on the d-line and in years past youth is what gets it done. There are always exceptions but for the most part DTs in a 4-3 and DE/DT/NT in a 3-4 don't produce much beyond year 5,6,7. It's Inevitable because its a very rigorous position. Its not always about experience, but its who wants it most and who has the physical tools to get it done and ill take youth all day. Perry and Anderson will show all of us that in weeks to come.

This frustrates me more than anything. The fact he relied on Jones to be healthy after having a lost season last year being the reason why we don't have a Wilfork, Knighton, Fairley, or a Malcolm Brown. How can you rely on a big guy w bad ankles to be completely fine the next season?

[Deathiltis]

I love the FO strategy. Pay players to not play. Brilliant.

Define 'bad ankles.' 

 

Then go watch the play on which Jones got injured.

Jason Cole isn't a reliable source, so I'll wait for someone else to report this. But it's not hard to believe. 

 

No thanks on Dockett. He's as done as Thanksgiving turkey.
