On the NFL Network, they just said Davis is still in talks with the Colts!!!!!!!!!!
Just said on NFL Network that "Vontae is negotiating with the Colts" this was from the Jets reporter, so dunno I guess there is still hope. I had heard that it seemed like the Jets were going to get him.
I think it is interesting that we're not hearing ANYTHING at all about Vontae this morning. If that continues, I have to think it was all smoke by his agent to provoke Grigson to raise his number.....and I'm doubting he would. If no more comes out, Davis'll be a Colt.

Could be that I am and I guess there's a point where the money is going to exceed the worth. It's not Andrew Luck we're talking about.

Just confirming what we already knew. Man, Breer s*cks! He's AT Colts HQ and we know just as much if not more than he does. *Lame
-
Maybe I'm over estimating the value of a shut down CB in this defense
Ehhh a lot of people are. And Davis was not a shut-down corner. He was a relatively good Man cover corner but I don't think any opposing Quarterbacks were/are scared of him. ;)
-
He's a great cover linebacker.
Many have him as the Top Rated MLB in Free Agency. ;)
-
Nothing personal but no, no, and he|| no!
-
now if that's the case....the Colts improve their D line AND keep Davis? couldn't ask for a better scenario.....if they can't keep davis..keep focusing on the line and go for some mid tier solid CBs instead
I agree.

i was gonna bring that...we are supposed to be on the market for a nt
A lot of speculation that this signing is a big part of that.

Ravens aren't close to a deal with middle linebacker Daryl Smith, according to sources

March 11, 2014I have to assume the signing of D'Qwell Jackson precludes us from going after him. But man, his production last years was awesome!

Albert Breer IS AT the Colts complex and Schefter scoops him from wherever the heck he is!? Really?!
-
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m
Colts re-signed veteran K Adam Vinatieri to a two-year deal, per source
Awesome!!!! ;)
-
He's not really known as a pass rusher though, more of a run stuffer. So he's right in saying we need to bring in 2 impact secondary players if Davis and Bethea aren't brought back.
Ehhhh yes & no. What he is 'known' for is a relative term. But it seems like most NFL sources consider him to be able to do both in either a 4/3 or 3/4.

Arthur Jones pass rush numbers are much better than any other DE we have. There is a reason we are going after him. Its a long season and aging vets like Cory Redding are bound to get tired and we need a deep rotation, Arthur Jones gives us that and that will have a ripple effect on the efficiency of the other DL.
Besides, I felt it was our LBs and safeties that were more responsible for our run D woes than our DL. The role of our DL was to play stalemate so that our 4 LBs and/or safeties can finish the job. We got enough stalemates at the line of scrimmage but our LBs and safeties either took wrong angles or gaps or gave up yards after contact more often than we wanted them to, at least that is what I felt.
If we want tackles for losses more often, it will still mostly come from an LB or safety shooting the gap in our 2-gap system. Or play a 1-gap every now and then with your DTs, like Broncos did with Pot Roast which led to some tackles for loss vs the same Blount we had trouble with.
Great post.
-
I'd expect Jones to take over starting at DE with Redding playing more of a rotational role. I also don't think we need an upgrade at NT but rather someone for depth to rotate with Chapman.
Yep. I agree. I sure wouldn't have a problem with re-signing Franklin if for anything depth alone. Unless of course Grigson already has someone in his sites.
-
Sounds awesome, thanks for the confirmation Brian! Will be very excited to have him on the team. This is the first step towards fixing the defense!
coudn't view at work, who's the confirmation from?
Not positive I'd swear on a Bible that it is done. Purple Reign is a decent source but I think they (like seemingly all other tweeters this morning) are going off of the original tweet by Aaron Wilson. He covers the Ravens for the Baltimore Sun though...so I'm willing to roll with his sourcing. ;)

#Colts will reportedly land #Ravens DE Arthur Jones. Good luck in Indy @Artj97

How would Colts use Ravens DL Arthur Jones?
"...what I find interesting about this is the fact that Jones' natural position is not the one at which the Colts need immediate help. Indianapolis hasn't shown any urgency to re-sign 2013 starting nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who becomes a free agent on Tuesday when his one-year contract expires.
Interestingly, Jones is considered best as a defensive end in a 3-4 defense. In the Colts' defense, that's a position currently occupied by another former Pagano pupil from Baltimore, Cory Redding. Ricky Jean Francois is considered the defensive tackle.
This might be an overreaction, because Jones can, in fact, play nose tackle. But if the Colts are prepared to spend significant money to land him, it would be mildly surprising if they chose to play him at a position where he might not be most effective.
Right now, we're left to speculate and read between lines..."

Meant to quote you in my response too.

Sources predict Arthur Jones will sign with the Indianapolis Colts as soon as today. Expected between $6 million and $7 million per year
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL)
March 11, 2014Obvious fit. Pagano coached him for 2 years in Baltimore. 27 years old with 53 tackles and 4 sacks last year. And can fit into 3-4 or 4-3 schemes. Perfect for our hybrid Defense. Word is that the Titans, Redskins, Packers and Giants were all after him too.
And yes...he's the older brother of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and Patriots (asterisk)* DE Chandler Jones.

Nobody but at the same time why waste a thread mentioning him?
Asked on a forum designed to have threads created about Free Agents.

I think...
yeah...
And...
Revis...
Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune is reporting that you can take $12 million of Revis' base salary and convert it to a signing bonus spread over the remaining life of the contract, and that in doing so you'd create $9.6 million in cap space for 2014, pushing his cap number down to $6.4 million.
A. Is that true?
B. Does that have an adverse affect in later years or can those years be converted as well, with the bonus being some sort of off the cap books instrument?
If you can keep the actual salary that affects our cap that low, then this might be something. I don't care about the $12 million in signing bonus...that's on Irsay. And if he's willing to pay it, who am I to disagree!
-
I'd bet just about anything that ...
If the Colts can't keep Davis I think...

Colts looking at Eric Decker.

I think Decker is a Peyton Manning production. I do not think he has the talent of a 1. I would not give him the money that a 2 would garner. I would not look at him. I would not look at him. I would not look at him....everrrrrrrrr.
