He's a FA isn't he? He just visited NE today

 

He's a RFA that Pitt tenedred to an offer sheet. They have the right to match any contract he's offered . If they don't or can't , they receive a 3rd round pick from the Colts as compensation. It was reported that the Pats signed him to an offer sheet but later confirmed that he left NE without a contract.

 

I don't think this would be as big as the Dan Graham is indicating.

GoColts8818, i see that point but isnt he a better option than what we could pick up at our current draft position?  I am all for what ever makes us better. Hey, who the hell knows what they are up to.    LOL

#Colts will have to make a cut to get under the cap again before signing any draft picks if this happens. I am hearing Jim wants sexy ..more

 

 

#Colts By sexy I mean, he wants another player to market, who has impact. On offense. #ThisISFromAgent can't say who.

This absolutely scares the crap out of me. I hope ole Jim didn't all of a sudden by into the FA as a solution theory.

So Dan Graham suggested that if we tried to clear up cap space to front load a deal for Cruz, that it would come from the O-line... thoughts?

 

That wouldn't make sense. If the deal has been in the work for 5 days, then they wouldn't have signed Chrilus to such a big contract.

For the record, trading (or losing via RFA tender, functionally the same thing) a first round pick for a young player who has proven they can produce at a first-round level is a good deal.

 

Trading a first round pick is only a really bad move when its for a guy who either can't produce at a first round level, or is old.  A young player with first-round production is, theoretically, worth more than a first round pick, because there's less risk.

I'm not so sure... the player would have to outplay their contract to make this true. Even if the rookie doesn't pan out... there is relatively little risk to the team on account of his small rookie contract... A proven player can underproduce or get injured and cost the team a heap of cap space... I think it evens out as long as the proven player is playing for the right amount of dough..

Which part of the O-line?

 

If it's the correct part, I'm down with it.

Yeah, this is the point.  Cruz is a guy with production you would hope to get from a mid-first rounder, but much less risk than the draft itself entails.  He'll cost more, obviously, but if you can make the money work it's the right decision.

Cut Satele, Linkenbach, & Olsen lol

I know you were joking with the lol but the later two would save us next to no money I believe.  Satele could become a victim if they like Shipley and or McGlynn to play center.  With that said signs to this point don't point to us liking either of the later two as our starting center.

It's funny seeing everyone's panties in a bunch, trying to crack the code. Irsay is probably reading all of this and laughing his butt off.

Nah he's probably reading his twitter and laughing out loud.  We probably don't even make it onto Irsay's radar here on the forum.

      Tyquan to IR

      It's not that their replacements are not good.   It's the depth behind the replacements.     Also. There isn't a 3T on this team better than Buckner.  To say so is nonsense

      There comes a point where your depth isn’t that good when you lose this many players. We aren’t talking about losing one guy or two. If Paye can’t go we are talking about half of our starters and depth. Just because you replace them doesn’t mean they are any good.

      JT has mild high ankle sprain

      By ColtsBlueFL · Posted

      A high ankle sprain, even if considered mild, is a different animal than the typical 'rolled' ankle sprain, and takes at least twice as long (or more) for recovery.   Though we don't know for certain yet, this is in the realm of possibility. Besides, it may be the same ankle where he's had prior history in 2022 as well as surgery in early 2023. Taking this into consideration, a multi-week absence could be an outcome for him in the short term. An improperly healed high ankle sprain has long term ramifications to consider, as well.

      Yes, and I'm sure the Colts will field a full rotation of D lineman, with a few having to play more snaps than before,  The replacements will be as good as the linemen that won't play....Defo, Lewis, and Paye.  That's my opinion.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Patrick Miller · Posted

      I thought Flacco did pretty dang good. It was nice seeing passes not go over our receivers heads. AR played pretty well in the short time he was in there but I still didn’t see anything that would tell us he’s fixed his accuracy on short/intermediate throws. That being said AR is the starter unless he plays his way out or gets injured again.
