   @gmbremer So is there steal a deal on signing a WR or is that done now?

    

20sGeorge Bremer ‏@gmbremer

@coltsnumberone Last I heard, there is still a deal in the works. Colts waiting on an answer from mystery WR.

 

 

1. Jim Blastick ‏@ChicagoColt

   @gmbremer @coltsnumberone Deal as in contract offer or trade? Sorry. Desperate for info.

    

32sGeorge Bremer ‏@gmbremer

@ChicagoColt @coltsnumberone Haven't seen confirmation whether it's a signing or a trade. Just know it's in the WR's hands now. Or was.

 

According to Bremer the deal is still alive

[California Colt]

Awesome.

 

I think this mean it's a RFA.

[Dustin]

[Jon Daily]

[corgi]

[PrincetonTiger]

What RFA WR are out there?

[Dustin]

Who DX?

Plus this thread still lives!!!!!

 

Danario Alexander

 

[MrNLM]

Can DX stay healthy though? That was a BIG knock on him in STL.

[California Colt]

DX is Danario Alexander. Chargers brought him off the street mid way through last season. Was with Rams before. had some busted leg troubles but got healthy and is back in the league. played healthy for all games he was on Chargers last year... his numbers with them extrapolated over a whole season are... VERY NICE. He is big. fast... and like all the other Colts signings... YOUNG! he is only 24. and cheap. (well SD can match $$ but maybe thats why its taking 6 days... we are working out the dollars to get him away)

 

guy was a beast in SD and with Luck chucking it to him would have no ceiling. luck>rivers.

[weslo1812]

Awesome.

I think this mean it's a RFA.

So how can we know if its an RFA?

[Dustin]

Idk But when that dude is healthy, he's a top 10 receiver.

[California Colt]

_{Alexander is 24 years old. In a nine-game stretch last year, he racked up 37 catches for 658 yards and seven touchdowns -- numbers that extrapolate to 66/1,170/13 if prorated across 16 games.}

[Dustin]

So how can we know if its an RFA?

 

If he's waiting on the receiver that mean he's either:

 

a) Signing a regular free agent, but that shouldn't take 7 days

 

b) Signing a RFA, and they would have to present him with an offer sheet that he would have to sign. A RFA has more leverage so this should be a deal that takes a while.

It shows that he isn't the QB many people think he is. Add in the sorry completion percentage and one of the NFL's worst QB ratings and you do not have a recipe for a franchise QB. He may turn this around but it is a concern. Right now he is behind RGIII and Wilson in the battle of 2012 Rookie QBs.

Take your crap back to pacersdigest! While I'm not a member there I see you post all the time. It's usually just stuff to get people a riled up. Also, noticed you had the biggest man crush on manning also. So your bias is exposed there also. Don't come here with your Luck hating agenda.

[California Colt]

easily. and he is young. finally had time to get knees healthy because everyone gave up. he was brought back to SD... who had Vincent Brown and when he wasnt comming back took a flyer on the ultra upside of DX and it paid. however they hvae Brown back now and a full stable and it doesnt look like they are activly trying to keep him... why not slide in for the steal. HUGE upside, mimimal risk.

 

Idk But when that dude is healthy, he's a top 10 receiver.

[Jon Daily]

If DX is a RFA does that mean he has a draft pick attached to him. If so what is it?

[sb2001]

Cruz for a 1st rounder meaning we don't play ball in the draft until the 3rd...... idk about that one guys

NO WAYYYYYYY is Cruz worth that!

[Dustin]

If DX is a RFA does that mean he has a draft pick attached to him. If so what is it?

 

Nope, the Chargers gave him an original pick tag. Meaning we have to give up a pick in the round he was drafted in. Thing is though, he was undrafted.

[PrincetonTiger]

If DX is a RFA does that mean he has a draft pick attached to him. If so what is it?

yes if he was given a tender

[sb2001]

I'm gambling here. Multi trade deal involving Fitzgerald coming to Indy! Ohhhhhhhh please let me be right just once!

[Dustin]

yes if he was given a tender

 

Original pick tender. He was undrafted.

[Luck4President]

There were rumors on twitter today that it could be Desean Jackson but those died after about a 10 lifespan

[weslo1812]

a) Signing a regular free agent, but that shouldn't take 7 days

b) Signing a RFA, and they would have to present him with an offer sheet that he would have to sign. A RFA has more leverage so this should be a deal that takes a while.

Thanks! Makes sense! Well now we have some renewed hope around here.

[Luck4President]

Just watched the DX highlight video and I can now say I'd be pleased with him, Reggie, TY, and our TE's running rapid.

[Dustin]

Maybe the receiver (assuming it is a RFA) signed the offer sheet, but we're now waiting to see if his team could match it.

 

Just tossing out ideas.

[Jon Daily]

How r the chargers doing with cap space. Do They have enough to offer a long deal to DX?

Poop or get off the pot, mystery team

[Dustin]

They only have $4 million. If they made him a decent offer, they couldn't match without making cuts or restructuring contracts.

[Luck4President]

Isn't there a 5 day time limit to match the offer?

[The Sack Pack]

I was reading some of George Bremer's tweets from earlier, and he brought up a good point. Maybe we're waiting on a Physical? specifically with DX, he's got the knees for a 70 year old grandmother.

[smittywerb]

I know this is off topic but I love the way the nfl has set up the free agency financially. With all the rules in place, it's basically fair game. You don't see big market teams buying players left and right, small market teams not being able to sign people. None of that, just well managed teams spending money well and mismanaged teams doing what they usually do.

[Dustin]

Isn't there a 5 day time limit to match the offer?

 

Yep.

[Jon Daily]

Isn't there a 5 day time limit to match the offer?

If so ill be hopelessly looking at this topic till Thursday.

I agree it's not like the NBA where small markets get ripped off

[willysp]

Irsay, why must you continuously play with my Emotions??!!!

 

Oh, come on - you have enough posts that you must be used to his nonsense! 

[Dustin]

It looks like we won't get any compensation picks.

[smittywerb]

EXACTLY! Ever since the hard cap came into play, the cowboys haven't won anything since. Nowadays, in the nfl, you try to make a dream team and you're setting yourself up for cap hell. In the NBA, you become champions for the next 10 years (heat)

[Luck4President]

why is that
