  1. The price generally doesn't matter too much if it's a couple million higher as we can do restructures, extensions, and cuts to make up for it. For me, the only excuses not to get the deal done are if the draft capital is overwhelming (a 1st rounder+), or if Sneed just said no. If the difference is a 3-year deal to a 4-year deal, then that's on Ballard for being stubborn. Ballard should be under scrutiny for this, as he would have not only not gotten the deal done (if we miss out on Sneed), but also wasting valuable time in FA and missing out on possible players. We'll probably never hear on which specific players we missed out while going after Sneed, but there were some.
  2. That would be hilarious. Then Ballard sends a tweet saying "APRIL FOOLS DAY", and sends Colts nation into a frenzy lol.
  3. Thanks. I was trying to be funny. I looked up Willie Snead and saw he was a FA, so I thought it was a funny joke lol.
  4. Talking about Willie Snead, the WR. He's a FA. It's a joke because he's a low-end WR at this point that's 31 with the same last name as LaJarius Sneed, just spelled slightly different.
  5. Watch Ballard sign Willie Snead to a minimum deal. That would be the ultimate troll lol!
  6. Yeah, the Ridley contract was ridiculous. I would have never signed him for that if I were Ballard. I do understand that the draft class of WRs is very strong. I'm hoping we get one within the Colts first 3 picks. Obviously though, it's one of those things where we only have two solid WRs right now in Pittman and Downs, and although we probably draft a WR (or 2) it's still not guaranteed as of now, and I would have preferred to have signed a WR and drafted one early to hedge our bets and Osborn was the perfect underrated guy IMO. JMO of course.
  7. I mentioned him because he's specifically a cheaper player at a position of need. Someone Ballard otherwise may have possibly signed. I'm not saying it for every player.
  8. Pats sign K.J. Osborn He would have been an option possibly if we weren't in on Sneed that could have been affordable.
  9. 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.
  10. It's all or nothing with this signing. Ballard has to get it done. We have no no1 CB or S. We've wasted a lot of time trying to sign Sneed already and our cap space is tied up to getting him. I don't care if we overpay a little. Get the deal done. We can always trade down in the draft. We can release Cox or extend Buckner to save money. Things aren't always perfect. Ballard should know his job is on the line and his seat is warm. Quit hurting the team and let Gus Bradley actually be able to have a solid secondary like he wants. We can't win with the secondary the way it is. Teams always pass all over us even with mediocre to bad QBs. It has to stop. Sign and extend Sneed.
  11. I need a chimp that can iron my clothes! Maybe I can pay him in bananas!
  12. Probably. I would draft Malachi Corley if I were Ballard to fit that role.
  13. Yeah, hoping for Sneed and Diggs at this point. That would be a nice FA. Finish off the rest in the draft. Could get a real nice team if Ballard comes through with the Sneed trade.
  14. As the WWF wrestler Funaki would say, INDEED!
  15. I prefer signing a few young mid-20s guys with upside and maybe one elite player to fill needs before the draft. Getting a veteran QB is also good IMO before the draft if you have a young QB. So if we get Sneed, I'll be happy with FA.
  16. I think Brian Thomas Jr will be there at 15 if the Saints don't take him right before us. That's literally the only team I'm worried about.
  17. I'll go with team Destin. Holder is a corporate snake.
  18. I could have sworn that was Austin Theory, the WWE wrestler!
  19. I've stopped watching the last 10 years a lot more. The last time I was really interested in wrestling was when Daniel Bryan and CM Punk were in WWE (I know Punk recently returned). I don't like a lot of the new wrestlers for the most part. There's a few good ones, but I hate the fact that wrestling has gotten away from the promos and mic skills, and ring psychology, personalities, and larger than life characters. Too much about the matches now to make up for it when the wrestlers can't do anything but wrestle these days. Another thing that got me away from WWE is that all the women I liked either retired or got injured and stopped wrestling for a while. AJ Lee, Paige, Alexa Bliss all either retired or got hurt for a long time. Liv Morgan gets underpushed a ton as well. I love Roman Reigns tribal chief character, but there's not much going on really that's anywhere near fun like the old days. AEW isn't really likeable for me either as it's just flips, kicks, dives and false finishes. MJF is really the only guy I like there anymore.
  20. Yeah, I started watching in 1990. The first event I remember was the Survivor Series. The Undertaker debuted. I was hooked after that. Loved the attitude era though. That was my favorite time of wrestling. WWF/WCW/ECW all the same time. Great time to grow up.
  21. I think your Stone Cold meme was during the 1997 Royal Rumble when Bret Hart came out. Stone Cold cleared the ring and Bret Hart's music sounded lol.
  22. Yeah, I'll be upset if it doesn't happen. Especially if the contract is the reason it didn't happen and Ballard didn't want to pay $22 million a year. If the reason is that KC wanted a 1st rounder + something else, then it's more understandable. However, if we don't get it done, then we've wasted a lot of time in FA waiting while not signing anyone and it could be a costly risk. Ballard has to get this done, even if he overpays slightly in $ or draft capital.
