wonder if Kendricks will be next

I'd be happy with Kendrick, Hightower, and Edwin Jackson at ILB. Then sign Jabaal Sheard since perry is gone. Dontari Poe. And draft a corner and draft or sign a safety to compete with Green. Our defense will see vast improvements.

WOW. Did not expect that much money for a 35 year old tackle.

Would be nice to have him!!! But I don't know I'd want him on too huge of a deal. I'll bet the Jags come away with him.

I'd take Prince Amukamara since they will not be retaining him.

He is playing his best football right now but still very surprising he received that much money. Especially at his age!

Ware, Dummervil, and Barwin are three vets  of which I could see the colts signing one to mentor our linebacker core. Maybe a 1 year deal? Not saying it's my favorite choice but... hey

Yeah he is playing great. But one injury at 35, with his height, his ankles and knees might not recover. Makes him top 3 in LT money I believe.

Right, very true. Makes you wonder what a 27 year old Kevin Zeitler is going to recieve now.

Wow. I like Ballard. But I'm not gonna like Ballard's first free agency if he doesn't sign any top free agents. We can't wait 3 years to be Super Bowl contenders. Luck should have a super bowl by now and we can't waste anymore of his time.

Yeah. I would have rather had Wagner at 10.5 million a year than a RG at 12-13 million a year. But still wanted Zeiter because he was the best guard available.

I think we are being hush hush until after 4pm today

I think Calais can play almost anywhere on the dline, in any front. He's that good. Teams don't play that much in base defenses anyway anymore.

Very true. I was thinking of him in a Justin Tuck type role. Rotate at DE most downs, then kick inside on passing downs.

No. Luck is 27 not 37.

 

Going all in to win now is the worst thing that Ballard could do. Some of these contracts are going to hamstring teams for the next 3-5 years. 12 mil per for a 35 year old tackle? Estimated 13-15 mil for a CB (Bouye) that has had ONE strong year with an outstanding defense when the draft has 10-12 guys with grades in the top 2 rounds? 12-13 mil for a RG when we have young guys to fill the role already? I'll pass every time if that's the going rate. Build through the draft. Supplement with affordable depth.

He didn't have the best coaching in Buffalo. I fully expect him to be a top 5 corner under BB's system.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

[Colts_Fan12]

I'm hoping for Larry Warford and Brandon Williams. I guess Sheard sinice perry is not available and I'd also like Claiborne. I know we won't get them all lol buyeah those all all people of like still avaliable. Also wouldn't mind Jeffery if we trade Dorsett or Moncrief.

[Virtuoso80]

 

[Beizy317]

Rumor has it that Patriots are looking to trade Malcom Butler to the Saints for Brandin Cooks.

Yeah. Maybe. Poe, Sheard, and one of the guard available and I will be content. Hightower too and I'm stoked. I'd rather not overpay for Bouye honestly. But would still be glad to have him. Prince would be a good value signing to be our NO. 2.

WOW! Pats are making splashes. Would be a good trade for both teams. Better than the Pats having two top corners in Butler and Gilmore.

Not sure why I would. It doesn't make a lick of difference to me either way.

 

Bottom line, Gilmore has a ton of natural talent that hasn't been forced to be accountable. It's possible the change of scenery elevates him the same way it did for Vontae.

[Colts_Fan12]

We seriously need to trade for Kendricks!!!

moncrief for kendricks, and pick up jeffery in fa?

[BCoop]

Honest question, what do people see in Kendricks? The guy has been less effective than any of our starting linebackers the past 3 years and seems to be regressing. Philly is willing to dump him for absolutely nothing. Why would he be better than either Morrison/EJax or whatever 3rd-5th rounder we could select instead?

Rather trade dorsett then moncrief

[Beizy317]

Trade Dorsett, pick up Alson in free agency. Two big bodied recievers with a speedster. I would not be mad at that.

Trading either Dorsett or Moncrief for a guy that is about to be cut for a lack of production is quite possibly the worst idea I've heard all offseason.

Not seeing it either.

I'd definitely do that if we for sure get Jeffery. Or if trade a 5th or 4th for him

Well I'm sure they don't want Dorsett Moncrief will be way more appealing

Moncrief... no.  Kendricks is no where worth that.  Dumb dumb dumb

Who cares? he is a 3-4 ILB playing in a 4-3 he doesn't fit there anymore. Plus he is cheaper to trade for then sign in Free Agency.

I'd just trade them a 5th I'm sure they take it if not give them our latest 4th
