ell_chrisso Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 We may be adding Laron Landry & Cliff Avril to that listWould it hurt to get Asomugha & Jennings too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peytonator Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I honestly can barely contain my excitement. Get Geoff Schwartz and a Desmond Bryant and I might crap my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltswarriors Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So far getting very under the radar guys, which isn't a bad thing. Still hoping for Cliff Avril as our "big" signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzer40 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'll admit, I didn't think much of it after we lost out on Vasquez, but I kind of like that we are adding more and more upgrades at different positions and still leaving a lot of money in the tank.

BrentMc11 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I like Thomas and Cherlus....not the enormous deal guys but freaking solid....Toler coming off a bad year but will hit and cover....did not know much about Walden. but Grigs must see some promise. He was defensive player of the week....then again so was Cassius...why am I a Colt Vaughn Green Bay PackersWalden was signed off the street by the Packers on October 31, 2010. Walden had his best game for the Packers on January 2, 2011 starting against the Chicago Bears. Walden led the team with 3 sacks and 16 tackles and was named NFC Defensive Player of the week. He finished the season with twenty tackles in 9 games (two starts). [3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Matt Miller @nfldraftscout #Colts free agent moves remind me of 2001 Patriots' moves. Signing smart, tough, mid-level free agents and leaders. Love it. Sums it up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much we are paying these guys, so its hard to gauge how good the signings are, but from a pure monster-building perspective, looks like we are a SS and G away from filling all of the most gaping holes... we need another CB as well.. With Moala coming back, we might not need a DE as badly, either... maybe we go WR in round 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This draft class is loaded with STrong safeties apparently, some decent WRs too. We may not have to sign FAs to those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 did we really sign Walden to a 4 year 16million contract... that seems insane! The staff must've really seen something special in him because I don't see how he could be worth that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't know how we didn't get Vasquez. We should have thrown money at him. But I guess he wanted to play for a contender because I'm pretty sure the broncos are going to the afc championship this year. I'm pretty happy with our FA so far. No big names besides Avril but good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weslo1812 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Well If we can get Laron Laundry on board that would be a solid day 1. Remember Grigs said he's not after the names. I see alot of these moves to give guys a chance and to create solid competition. That's what we want. But its looks like were gonna pulling in some starter quality guys as well. Were creating solid depth too which is something we really needed. Better to have 2 or 3 guys who can play the position solid than just have 1. Gotta expand our thinking here. Were taking a smart approach, not just forking out gobs of money because he's a big name player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If Walden doesn't work out he won't get all that money, especially if its backloaded. Hope it does work out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm thinking that CW was right about Avril... no news and we gave Walden a big pay day... we could just be trying to light a fire under Jerry Hughes rear end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nice! When was the last time the Colts signed four players on the first day of free agency? Like never....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Moleman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 From what I've scouted of Walden, he's garbage and a waste of money at that price. The other signings, particularly on the O-line, I like. Thomas is my favorite of the bunch so far- very under the radar, but he'll step in and be a starter immediately for us. Played well in New England in his limited chances to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
