Look.  If anybody thinks that a GM makes a decision to cut a starting ILB without input from the positional coaches, DC, and HC, they are dreaming.  Sometimes a GM might do that for salary cap reasons, but outside of DJax, every ILB is making the same money.

 

For some reason, the coaches recommended cutting Irving over McNary.

Why would they need to work him out?  He was here over a year and was gone like a month?

 

Because they cut him two months ago.

 

You work him out to find out if he's in decent shape.

 

What if you don't work him out -- and you sign him -- and then he gets hurt right away.     How does that help you?

I'm sure it's because McNary has "grit" and "keeps chopping wood" on a weekly basis. I bet on the practice field he's always "flying around and making plays". Or whatever else cliches Pagano uses to justify playing under-talented individuals who shouldn't even sniff the field on a contending team.

The whole situation was just stupid to begin with. Nobody is mistaking Nate Irving for Ray Lewis but he's a better player than Mcnary. What in the world made them keep Josh over Irving I dont even know. You want to stop the run and you cut the run stuffing backer for a guy who can't.

What a huge mistake to cut him in the first place.  

Huge mistake and yet the guy is still sitting at home waiting for someone to sign him. He may be marginally better than the others but he wasn't a huge mistake to let go.

In all fairness though, he'll most likely injure himself on our field right way anyways. Just our luck

And some people actually defended why he should've been cut because he didn't do much during the preseason smh I wouldn't sign him because he might not be too interested in with playing with us but then again he does need a job so.....if this means no more mcnary I'm all for it

For all the people in this thread ragging on management for cutting Irving.....

 

Do you even realize he's on the street right now?   

 

If he's as good as you think,  any of the other 31 NFL teams should've signed him and kept him.

 

So,  what happened?      Do you think by chance the NFL knows something that all of you don't?!?

 

HELLO?!?

 

If all of you are such geniuses and you're right that he's so good,  he wouldn't be available to us now......

 

You might want to re-think this just a little bit...........       :peek:

This team is a mess right now, and not because we are working out Nate but because we have to because we cut him in the first place.

If the team wasn't in the "shape" it appears to be, this would kinda go unnoticed. But, the way things are going, i kinda have to roll my eyes.

anyone remember why he was let go?

    • One of the great things the NFL does is getting people to believe they aren’t rich.   The league made 17 billion dollars in 2021 in revenue.  The average NFL team is worth 5.1 billion dollars.  These guys aren’t broke or strapped for cash.  They can afford these things.     For what it’s worth Holder is reporting that the Colts made the decision not to go after Sneed and then gave that money to all the guys they re-signed last week and had they gone after Sneed it would have been as the expense of some of those guys, specifically Kenny Moore and perhaps Grover Stewartt which tracks with Kenny at least being the last of the group to re-sign.  Physical money wasn’t the issue.  The Colts simply made a choice.  
    • Who has the best RAS score?
    • Frankly the whole Grigson era turned me off of making all the bold moves people want.  He would and they almost always blew up in the Colts faces.  He was saved by the fact he had Andrew Luck and he was just too good to be bad.  Ironically I think if Ballard had had Andrew Luck for his whole time as GM we would be looking at another golden era of Colts football and it would be have been interesting to note both came with the philosophy of build through the draft and reward your own.  Oh well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
    • In 2015 the Colts were considered winners of free agency. Granted there were a few good signings, but we haven't been the same since. Ever since then, I've been completely fine with not signing free agents. 😅
    • Feels like a good time to issue a reminder.  Two years ago, J’Ville spent a fortune in FA.   That was the year they surprised the NFL giving the little WR, Kirk 4/72 which had incentives into the $80’s.   And J’Ville went on to have a good season.    Many here showered the Jaguars with applause and wondered why can’t the Colts do that?!   But here’s what they forget….   In the 10 years BEFORE that one, no team spent more in FA than the Jaguars.   $1.4 BILLION dollars.  That’s billion with a B.  And I think they had one post season appearance to show for it.  So most years Jacksonville “won” free agency and they had almost nothing to show for it.    So when @GoColts8818 says the “winner” of FA typically doesn’t have a very good season, he is correct.  It was his comment that triggered my memory about Jacksonville’s lost decade.  Thanks, GC!
