[Dark Superman]

Per Irsay's twitter.

Not great news in my book.

well now we know what all the hoopla was about. Whopper of a signing.. BAM BABY..

[Jules]

Super Bowl.

[Dark Superman]

Exactly my reaction. Why couldn't we just sign Brent Grimes on a prove to me you can still play deal loaded with incentives..

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Not sure what that exactly means.. do we have to pay him anything substantial? And by substantial I mean anything over 500k

[Dark Superman]

Irsay urkes me.. He riots up the fan base with 10 tweets an hour and than goes cold for the last 48. And when he tweets it's about bringing Vaughn back. You have got to be kidding me.

[chad72]

They have been haggling for 5 days with this guy, as to what he was worth, and finally he gave in that he wasn't worth much and signed on the freaking dotted line.

[Dark Superman]

I'm guessing league min. He's our #4 corner.

[Balzer40]

Is this really a surprise to anybody? It was a pretty obvious thing that was always going to happen once they offered him a contract.

[SteelCityColt]

Guess we're not drafting a CB then?

[B-B]

Yay our new receiver! (Joking)

Hey, he's an experienced CB. Everyone thought Tim Jennings was a blight when he was here too. Coaching makes a difference, and he'll have another year.

Lets just hope he doesn't have to start anytime soon.

[Andy]

Should serve as a fine backup.

 

That's it though, nothing more. 

[Superman]

That's not an offer sheet. I was actually hoping it was, and that he'd be leaving.

 

This is just him signing the RFA tender that he has to sign in order to play this season, regardless. No big deal.

[jbaron04]

why do yall hate vaughn he is not a start but can be and ok back up he has a year and playoff under his belt so as a back it cant be that bad

You see with Jennings, I just remember him being subpar, no real plays stand out that made my cringe. Vaughn now everytime he took the field literally made my stomach hurt. No colts player ever has almost made me cry out of frustration like Vaughn did againt the ravens.

[throwing BBZ]

i`m hoping Gordy pushes him to #5.  :yay: 

They may just want to use him for a pyschological profiling case study on what not to do next time.
Or, think they may have a physical therapy & chiropractic program that can get that neck to turn.

[Dark Superman]

You're right Superman.. I read it wrong. You must like the show Smallville.. It's based on Supermans childhood.

[adamthyst]

Here's to getting burned for a few more seasons..

[CR91]

wait that was the big signing!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!

And only i mean only replying because of Jennings I just do not see him turning his play around=because he cant turn his head around to the ball.Vaughn reminds me of someone that clocks into work clocks out and no more thought about it.Just doesnt seem to have the desire to play or adjust to his mistakes.And I do believe coaching has a big impact on a player,but as a team when people start playing better seems like the whole team gets better=Jennings:)

[CS Colts Fan]

unfortunately it was a 1 yr for 1.323 mil... per rotoworld

Cassius Vaughn - DB - Colts

Colts re-signed restricted free agent CB Cassius Vaughn to a one-year, $1.323 million contract.

Vaughn, still only 25, amassed 66 tackles and a three-yard pick six across 16 games last season, making 11 starts. He's been pushed down the depth chart by the signing of Greg Toler and re-signing of slot cornerback Darius Butler, but Vaughn should have every opportunity to win Indianapolis' dime back role. Vaughn also offers kick return value and made one 2012 tackle on special teams.

i just LoL-ed   thank you!

I agree. Vaughn was bad in some games and I complained about him too, but he's going to be our 4th CB and what do people expect from a #4 CB? He can always improve, he has good speed and has some skills. I'm perfectly fine with him being the 4th CB.

[Crazycoltsfan12]

^{when the heck will the colts finally sign the wide receiver it's freakin' killing me   :???:}         

[colts_100nascar17fan]

cassius vaughn was a good resign cuz of his exp. in the system for a year and will be good in a backup role and special teams,not many teams have decent depth 4 or 5 cb's deep. we will still draft one somewhere or saftey. draft will be wr,db,o-line,d-line

[trueblueblood]

Perfect.

Don't get this mixed up, he DID suck.

 

When people make this comment it makes it seem like Colts fans just used him as an escape goat. He was terrible.

 

Went to Chicago got in the right place with the right players & coaches and now he's one of the best.

Very good post.

[TKnight24]

Wait wait wait...... is this what all the hype was about???!!!!!

[Coltman51]

So he is now changing to a WR?   LOL.     There has to be someone else out there in the wings.  Please tell me there is.

[Nobody]

I was hoping someone else signed him :/

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

Not impressed.

[BrentMc11]

Just get number 32 off of him....get him anther number now....Edge is being castigated to the gates of _____ with this worthless CB wearing number 32.....I cannot believe we have signed Mr. Turn my back on the ball."  Some of the worst CB play I have ever seen!!!  HORRIFIC!

It's great to remain a #colts Jerrell Freeman ‏@JerrellFreeman

glad to see my boy @CassiusVaughn back in that blue and white!

[Bubba]

Wow!! The speculation can finally end, now I can finally rest. Whew.....all of those tweets from Irsay the last few days and boy did he really come through for us.............we resigned Vaughn (sarcastic). What an * Irsay is.

[lollygagger8]

Cassius Vaughn...seriously??

 

 

The guy's helmet is his only weapon!

[NewColtsFan]

Don't assume that.     This contract is not guaranteed.

 

If we draft a corner we like,  Vaughn's job is very much up in the air.   

 

But for now,  he stays on the roster.    And it should give people here some indication of what Grigson AND Pagano think of him.

 

People may be made at Grigson for his FA signings,  but Pagano knows DB's.    And he's signed off on this....

[deedub75]

There's really no news here.  Vaughn signed his tender, right?  This should come at no surprise.  He either signed his tender or not play football this season because no one else was gonna sign him.
