Jimmy likes it....it's more money to buy guitars with. Lol He's the Boss, If he didn't, things would be different. Just like he didn't like Wentz and then Wentz became gone.

That thread is growing and growing and growing.....

Ok.....but I'm not getting any younger.....how much "delayed"?

Ballard won't overpay!!!

...but you see the game better at home in front of your Big Screen UHD TV and the commercials too without paying outrageous prices for snacks. Having fun with you too.

Well Ballard's Into year 6, isn't that considered "long game" ? Lol If Ballard would have addressed the needs previously on our lack of weapons WR & TE, the cupboard wouldn't be so bare now and the need as dire to fill now......same with LT, CB, and of course they still need a QB. Lots of Premium needs for a team that doesn't like to spend AND No 1st round pick.

Maybe that's why they got rid of Wentz??? Last year, with Wentz, the colts came way too close to making the playoffs.....plus trading him eliminated the need to pay that roster bonus.

Maybe the colts & the Football Gods agree with you...... Which would explain why THEY AREN'T adding those players.

Here's a pipe dream..... NY Mets owner Steve Cohen(Mets payroll is at $292million) buys the Colts and trades for Joe Burrow & WR Chase.

But that's assuming the Colts are trying to WIN NOW and that's not the impression their giving. And spending a lot of resources is not what Ballard & Colts do.

Reminds me of the pinned threads we had for complaints for Griggs and Pagano.

Why would the falcons give up Pitts??? They drafted him instead of getting a top QB prospect, so I'm thinking the will want to keep him.

It was irsay that wanted Wentz out, anyway that's my opinion. And yeah that's not good, that's Jerry Jones type of interference But at least Jerry's interference results in spending and acquiring Big Talent trying to win.... unlike irsay. As far as firing Reich & Ballard, will that matter much, especially in the long run??? Outside of the Polian/Manning era how good have the hires have been? That's where this franchise may be heading, to the two Decades prior to Peyton. With a slightly above mediocre season here and there( to sell more tickets to share a bit more revenue to the other 31 teams ). Hopefully things won't go that way and our immediate future is bright..... we'll see.

Dakich would agree with that and says the Colts ARE NOT interested in winning.

We do.......but we still have Ballard & Irsay's thrifty ways.

What you call cap space, the Irsay family calls MORE INCOME.

33-15 in first 3 seasons, 3 playoff appearances including 2 Division Titles plus 3 playoff wins and a AFC Championship Game appearance (deflate gate game).

Well we should mark the calendar to note that today You & I are not Disagreeing! But honestly, I didn't even know today was first day of FA...I thought I heard someone say or post it would be on Friday. And I have no idea who are on the FA list. Shows how much I'm into it these days. Lol Take care

Actually history tells us there isn't much if any difference for Ballard & Irsay between the first day or first week.....

I said above I haven't paid any attention to the signings so far or even who are the FA's.....but we go through this every year...those who are disappointed and complain about Ballard being cheap and not signing the premium FA's and then those that justify him not paying what other teams are paying. It's now predictable & comical on a annual basis. Lol As far as how much players get, that's what the market is.... The Colts don't do that, they don't pay market prices,Ballard & Irsay won't overpay for players they need..... and the Colts will continue to be IRRELEVANT.

Can't blame it all on gas prices either.

^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^

Actually it usually does mean something because the more talented FA's are usually signed early and the ones that are signed say a week or two later are mostly regarded as fill-ins. Now I haven't been keeping up on this year's signings so far or even who are the FA's available. But generally speaking the early days in Free Agency is when the better players are signed, more expensive yes but more desirable for teams.

Well I guess it's that time again when people complain about Ballard not signing FA's early and their told "FA just started, how can you already be complaining"???....... and the other teams that sign FA's are made fun of being foolish for "overspending".

He's just doing his job to keep the Colts Irrelevant.
