In before the "he's not that good" comments 

[MarquisJ]

You guys happy now? Good sign CB 

[Shadow_Creek]

Keep EM Rolling in CB!!!

[MackAttack]

Love this some vet help on the ol good signing!

[TKnight24]

He's not great, but he should be serviceable enough as a gap OG/6th OL this year.

 

I'd still like the Colts to take a look at Cameron Fleming at RT and spend a high pick on a OG. 

AC - Slauson - Kelly - Pick - Fleming isn't a bad line, it's not great, but it's much better than years past.

They couldn't land the other guards. But I reckon Slauson will be a solid short term solution. If we can draft a couple guards (Nelson, Hernandez, Price, Wynn) the oline should look better now and in the future. 

 

AC - Nelson - Kelly - Hernandez/Price/Wynn - Clark/Good/Haeg

[Indy500]

Finally some o-line help, he brings experience and consistency to the position.

 

what are the financials, cant see what we paid him anywhere?

[NorthernBlue]

Any news on mewhort?

[austriancolt]

Colts signing and overpaying for average players. Not adding quality only mediocrity, but some people will still celebrate this deal as "a bargain deal", "rough diamond" and yet Ballard still try to fix the Offensive Line the same way Grigson did and failed.

Serviceable ..... good vet signing to help with the young bucks!

Who has Ballard overpaid for this offseason?

it's ok. The trolls had to get there say in this too

[Fisticuffs111]

If he can stay healthy and slightly regain his '16 form then we got a solid player.  And he can help teach the rookie(s) we draft.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Interesting. Not really a CB move, but here's hoping he still has something left in the tank. If we resign mewhort now, that all but takes nelson off the table

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Good signing. If he isn’t automatically a starter then he will be at some point when our big boys start to go down with injuries

Oh ok

[2006Coltsbestever]

I think he will start at OG. He is a huge dude! My only concern is him staying healthy, he just turned 32.

He won't be here long.    Hopefully he has a couple good years left in him

Yeah probably not, probably just a plug in for a couple of seasons as we continue to get more O.Line help. He isn't too bad so lets hope he can stay healthy for a year or 2.

I love all the posters who say...

"this player is no good" or "this player is great"...

When they probably have never even watched the guy play football.

He's not a huge name so some people automatically thinks he sucks unfortunately . I know who he is and I bet he starts at OG on our Line.

You think they'd take Nelson off the board because of a 32 yr old OG and another that has congenital knee issues? Really?? 

[jchandler7]

I like the signing as everyone who read my post about him in an earlier thread would know. He is a good veteran that can help with our young OL. Now if we can bring back Mewhort on a "prove you can stay healthy" deal I think we'd be set up good on the OL for the draft.

[indyagent17]

It may be for as short as a year but I do not think this takes Nelson off the board at all

Maybe Ballard is working on a second trade down with the Bills that has been talked about. That would put Nelson out of the picture and make this signing important.

Why would you buy a 2018 Lexus when you have a 2007 Ford Focus?

I have heard of him and I'm from Wales played pretty well when he was at the bears think he played guard.Roberto Gaza was center experienced  vet player not a long term solution but we need o linemen like the signing
