  1. I suspect you’re right. Nobody can blame Simmons for trying to get a big payday. After all, he made, what, $13m last year? But the market is the true reality, he’s 31 yrs old, and he’ll have to settle for less. Not sure what that will be… maybe 2 yrs, $20m, $12m guaranteed? I do think he’d be an excellent pickup for the Colts. I hope they sign him.
  2. I doubt he gets more than 3-4. He’s always injured, and hasn’t got the track record yet. Honestly, he’d be smart to sign a one year prove it deal and try again in ‘25.
  3. I agree with you that having to wait for Sneed before making a move for a FS is frustrating. But the fact that the market has calmed down for the remaining FS’s does play into the Colts’ hands. Simmons would be an awesome get and hopefully is the Colts’ top target given the need for a talented, experienced center fielder. I’m not clear what his prospective salary is supposed to be but every day he remains unsigned should improve the Colts’ chances of getting him for a bargain. Sneed and Simmons would instantly turn the Colts’ secondary into a force, and make this off season a major success.
  4. I don’t see two outsider safeties being signed but getting Blackmon back and signing Simmons seems like a real possibility.
  5. They should re-sign him, and also sign Simmons. And they are perfectly capable of making room for Sneed’s salary while also fixing the safety room. Restructures; cut MAC, for example.
  6. This makes far more sense than the rumors about pick 15.
  7. I keep reading that this draft is very weak after Round 4. If true, the value in accumulating more Day 3 picks won’t be there this year.
  8. Well said. I agree that the pass rush and d-backs have to improve. I still have hope for a difference making FS in free agency. There’s a few out there that can help. I’m discouraged about the failure to improve the pass rush but a better secondary might loosen the reins on the blitz, and that would improve things. So I’m still hopeful. Appreciate the dialogue between you and NCF.
  9. Given what was left out there, this is the best backup for AR they could have signed.
  10. Simmons makes so much sense. Fingers crossed.
  11. I expect Penix to go possibly late first/ more likely early second round. He’s not ready to start but he’d be an excellent developmental piece for the right team. New England and Washington are QB needy and have early 2nd round picks. Both feel like good fits.
  12. Getting back to Colts needs, their greatest gap in talent, Without question, is free safety. There’s a few out there still. I’m looking for a signing today.
  13. Just too expensive. I’d rather grab Brian Thomas with pick 15, or if he’s taken, trade back a little and grab one of the other WRs. JJ is the best but the cap space he will demand is just not feasible.
  14. I think the Colts will make a move for a free safety this week. It’s a major weakness and there is still talent out there in free agent land. Patience.
  15. I think having Justin Fields sitting behind Richardson would be a major distraction. For everyone. Fields needs to be in a situation where he can compete for the top job. He wouldn’t be happy in Indy and the Colts will want a guy who is fine being #2 to their young QB in whom they are investing their future.
  16. That’s a creative thought. But I think the Colts need a proven FS to man that position. Keep Kenny in the slot and improve the back end with a new FA? Now you’re talking!
  17. A cheaper blocking TE is certainly gettable in FA and just makes too much sense. The Colts need to put that precious cap space to better use. I hope and expect that they will.
  18. I think they release him soon. He just isn’t worth the $. They’ll wait to see if their FA hunting is successful or not. A pass rushing DE and a FS are likely targets, and if/when they sign, I expect Mo is gone.
  19. Yup. Moss wanted to start. Wasn’t happening here. I’m glad for him.
  20. A belated congrats on your new baby! Having a family is what life’s all about. Nothing compares to it. Enjoy the wonderful ride. Hoping for a pass rusher and FS in free agency along with resigning Pitt, Grove, Kenny, and Blackmon. I’m a Brian Thomas Jr fan for pick 15, and agree with those who suggest a DT will be picked early in the draft as well. LB picked as well but on Day 3. Thanks for doing this. It took a lot of work and was fun to dissect!
  21. Moss will get a contract but not close to $6m IMO. If he came back to the Colts it would be for something like 2yrs$6m total. Probably not enough for him but you never know. He might take that elsewhere just for the chance to start. And who could blame him. Meaning: I think Moss is history with the Colts. Look for a late draft pick to complement the backs already on the roster.
  22. I don’t see the Colts going FA for a CB. Free Safety and pass rush should be the focus. Get the right players and the D is immediately upgraded. Look to Day 2 of the draft for a new CB.
