[Merge] Colts Sign Denico Autry

[TheRustonRifle#7]

He seems to be an ascending talent, and as of right now, would be in the running to start opposite of Sheard.  Did Indy hedge their bets in case Chubb is gone by 3?

Major props to these posters for their vision.......... (sorry, but only quoted the ones that were small in content)

Solid signing. He had 5 sacks this year and is versatile. Wonder where he lines up with us ??? DE ?

5 sacks as a reserve lineman is pretty damn good IMO. I like it.

I read he will be playing DE opposite Sheard.   If this isn't a typical Ballard signing I don't know what is.  No one saw this coming and he looks very promising.  And he's the very first signing.  Expecting more of the same kind of profiling in our future signing.

This is a good sign for the money. I would expect more than a situational rusher. He certainly doesnt change draft day plans.

16 games, 3 starts.

36 tackles, 5 sacks.

 

Give him 16 games and starts, stats would probably look more like 45 tackles, 8 sacks.

 

Which is a steal in FA for a 1 year $6 million deal essentially, compared with how salaries in this FA period has gone so far.

Quite underwhelming and appears we didn't even do it right and filed paperwork incorrectly.

He still under whelming you?

Seems like a very good signing to me from what i'm reading.

 

And i'm sure if we're in November and he has 7 sacks, alot of people will be like "Yeah, but his paperwork was filed to the wrong office last March."

Ain’t that the truth hahaha

Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard of this guy.  When I think of good free agent signing guidelines, the first requisite is that you have to have heard of the player.  How many of you can say you've heard of this man?  Ballard better show me something soon or he'll be Grigson2.

 

I think Ballard has proven that wrong now...

We signed Camp Fodder for the meat grinder and not even worth Toilet paper money i whip with.

Yeah 5 sack we can go from dead last from pressure on the QB to 30 what an improvement. Oh look luck getting sacked again.

 Still feel the same way?

If Ballard likes him then I like him. That will remain my approach to all personnel. After the past years of powder puff trades and draft picks I'm all in with Ballard & Co.

Not many people were jumping out of their seats for this signing. Glad it worked out for us though! Denico is a monster!

Autry has been a very nice pick up for this specific defense. He is certainly worth his contract so far.

Thanks for bringing back a thread that includes commentary I made that actually presents me in a good light.  

 

Now please don't uncover the absolute myriad of comments that I whiffed on.

As I said back on page 1.  Nice signing.
