I'm not sure he'd hang up like that. He'd probably be more inclined to be like

I wasn't.
Its just not Ballard's style to sign big money FA's.
I think if there were any conversations it probably went like this.
Ballard: "So Sneed what kind of money are we talking ?"
Sneed: "Mr Ballard, I'm looking for a 3 year 75 Million dollar deal".
Ballard: "Ok thanks for letting me know"
Ballard hangs up. "CLICK"

Do you ever stop and think this was almost done and sneed had a change of heart.
Do you ever stop and think that this whole thing might not even been an actual thing? Like not even at all...

I was actually thinking the media, but pick your poison.
There is a lot of truth to the concept of not true.
No one knows what the Hell is going on anymore. So much nonsense out there across the board.-

Sneed was a 4th round draft pic. Ballard will move on from Sneed , the draft is loaded with corners, he will draft one and maybe bring in a cheaper vet. Ballard isn't overpaying for Sneed.
what does his draft position have to do with anything? Is he or is he not one of the best corners in the game right now?
he is… He will be better in 2024 and the foreseeable future than the 1st rounders in this years draft. So again- what does draft position have to do with anything?

Purdue is in the easiest Bracket IMO. They have a real great shot of making the Final 4. I still don't trust Painter though.
I think they got pretty good matchups. A lot of people were calling for Purdue Tennessee matchup for a final four birth, but I’m here to say Creighton is the biggest threat to Purdue, outside of their own shadow 😂.
We’ll see. I always like Tom Izzo’s teams in the tournament. They can wreck havoc from the 9 seed.
St. John’s got robbed big time. I enjoyed Pitino’s comments. He said they wouldn’t say they were screwed but he didn’t want to hear the word NET ever again as it was such a fraudulent measurement.

i think he was talking about AR, or referenced AR a lot when going on that tangent. I think he too will want to see what Pierce looks like with AR instead of Minshew missing him 1-2 times per game deep
it’s possible he was leading teams to think one way or another to remain unpredictable- but also in the Ballard sense of “I told you exactly what I was going to do.”
he said they wanted to get more explosive on offense and limit the explosive plays on defense. He’s talked about the receivers in the class, and many have taken the explosive comments to mean a receiver early. Who knows… If sneed ends up here, that would certainly fall under the limit explosive plays on defense…

Moore doesn’t have an impact on the starting outside corner though, he’s the slot guy. That would be like saying well they extended Downs so need to draft an outside WR.
yeah I agree. I’ve thought the rumors of going hard after Sneed was an indictment on the possible level of concern they have of flowers returning to form. Which should be a concern for everyone, in my opinion. If he comes back strong- that is great no matter who is in the room. If he’s 3rd on the depth chart outside of Moore at the Nickel, that’s a really good thing for us. If he doesn’t come back, we better have something in place that isn’t what we had out there consistently last season.-

Thought I heard something, that I thought made a little bit of sense.
It said they didn't bring Flacco back because they thought some people would call for him to start. They didn't want to put the extra pressure on Watson.
Clean slate as QB1
I saw this as well. They wanted to avoid a qb controversy.
and in doing so, they admitted they indeed have a qb controversy. Lol

The players, gm and contract staff can all take breaks from this
What happened is the team made an offer and he wanted more. They may not make another offer today.
Some of you need to take a break tbh lol. WR87 is on the edge of their seat looking for minute by minute updates when there isnt going to be that much real news.
tell us more about exactly what happened… considering those that cover the colts for a living don’t even know. Are you in the building? Can you pass a message off for us?

I understand. It's always been this way though. Teams always pass all over us. I get the injuries, but even so we would be depending on a young group without anyone proven to go into the year next season if we don't sign Sneed. You have an almost guaranteed chance to get a Zone CB that fits our scheme, and we should do it. It costs money and mediocre draft capital. Basically, a version of DeForest Buckner.
I agree- the secondary needs help, and if they don’t get Sneed, they will still need to address the corner position (it’s not unlikely that flowers or Brents gets injured) and especially need to improve the safety position.
I don’t disagree with the opportunity to add a good corner in the draft but that is potentially missing out on a stud pass catcher that would be extremely helpful on the offensive side of the ball, which has yet to be touched this offseason aside from the obvious Pittman re-signing.

At this point I'd rather have Simmons with either Quinyon Mitchell or Cam Hart in the draft. If the contract is massive and still an issue that tells me that he does not want to come here. He's probably inflating it as much as possible hoping everyone will give up and he can be apart of the 3peat attempt with the chiefs.
possible. But he’s taking a major risk in doing that. Both in them not three peating, and the big one in a major injury.
most aren’t stupid and take the money. He just happily took a $17k check to big brothers and sisters, so he wants to be a charitable guy. That scales as the income does, so if the opportunity is there to make life changing money, it’s very hard to turn down, regardless where they want to ultimately want to be. KC has made it clear they don’t value him like he wants to be valued there.

Surely you jest, sir. I will never forget it. I was an Army helicopter pilot. We had flown from Honduras to Belize for a mission, OTW back to Honduras we landed near a small beach resort and went into their lounge to eat and watch that game. I was the ONLY Colts fan in the vicinity. Crushing loss, sad and quiet flight from there back to our base in Hondo.
Man… I know how the drive following a hard loss is from Indianapolis in the car. I can’t imagine it flying a helicopter back to base in a different country. What a story.-

How all this 'stuff' got posted in a Colt's Free Agency thread is beyond me. Instead of 81 pages, it could easily be 3.

IMO I think the issue with Holder has went further back than these Sneed rumors. I feel like he is very aggressive and attacks anybody who has a different opinion than him. He is very unprofessional in his attitude towards fans IMO.
it’s more of an arrogance than anything…-

This is a long way of saying...."I've no idea what's happening!"

So only Flacco and Harrison remain in updated.
So Franklin is actually +$5.25m higher
Avery is a wash, no real cap affect
SSanchez projection no change.
So my new projections are:
Spotrac - $18.75m
OtC - $17.9m
so what I’m reading is that if this trade goes through for Sneed, Mo is getting cut…😂

He sleeps in on the weekends; he is currently snoring loudly per a key source
That’s not what my sources say… Highest levels of the Ballard home tell me he’s been up pumping iron and combing his mullet since 5 am… -

He emphatically said he doubt it gets done. He could have a lot of egg on his face later.
if he’s getting that info from the “highest levels of the organization” then it could be him just being a mouthpiece in the media to push the deal to get done…-

Ha.. this is absolute.
There are a whole lot of smoke and mirrors going on in the Colts organization at any given time, you can be sure. Jim Irsay is the Master Ring Leader of the circus. I've said it between once and a million times on here. Just pay attention and you'll see how he manipulates things. Ballard is very good at it too, which is why he isn't going anywhere, in my opinion.
