if hes fine being the 4th corner because hes not beating out toler or butler. nnamdi is washed up. coruse we could use a backup safety since howell is hurt. a lot of corners make the move to safety once they get up there in age.

is it even a possibility with Colts current cap status...

that's what my first thought was as well, but I heard on NFL insiders that his contract is not that big.

 

"Nnamdi signed his one-year contract, it included no guaranteed money, up to $1.35 million in base salary and roster bonuses, and then another $1.225 million in various incentives." -- source Ninersnation[.]com

Personally, seeing our injury track record in the secondary, I think he would be great to have.

"@NinersNation $800k in honors (Pro Bowl & All-NFL), $425k in playtime (starting at 70%) & $425k for interceptions (needs at least 4)."

 

Going by all the info on that article, seeems like a cheap commodity to have even if he ends up being terrible.

His contract is veteran minimum. Anything would be an upgrade to Cassius Vaughn.

 

Vaughn is 1.3 million against the cap right now.  Claim Nnamdi and waive Vaughn and we might save some cap money and get better at the same time.  

 

However we are probably near the bottom of the waiver priority, so there is a good chance we wouldn't get him even if we do put in a claim on him.

Vaughn's contract is guaranteed for the season.

Don't think the exclamation point is warranted

I think it is definitely warranted.  IMO, he is better than vaugh, and we wouldn't be asking him to do too much.  He maybe our nickel back and help in 3rd down situations with man coverage.  I think he is still a servicable DB in this league.

Nnamdi sucks. His time has passed. Don't give me the scheme nonsense either, he played a man scheme in San Fran and was terrible. There is a reason why his last 2 teams got rid of him, he's toast and has been toasted regularly over the last few seasons.

Overrated at this point in time. Just a flashy name floating around out there, so surely some team will take a chance on him.

I'm not sure if he would contribute at all on special teams, which is why he might not be worth a roster spot to most teams.

    • Thomas...I really don't know what to think.  He had a promising rookie season and then seemed to regress badly last year.  Maybe you touched on it though, regarding his Father's arrest.
    • I don't think FS is where he would fit and the Colts seem to like Cross there. They liked Scott there to before he was injured.  Blackmon can play it as well, even though I believe he is better at SS and his play reflected that last year.
    • Yes, Scott's injury, I touched on that in the third post of the thread, most likely had something to do with it also.
    • My issue with the bolded when someone tries to use this to discredit a fan is that the worst GM isn't competing against fans, he's competing 31 other GMs who are better than him. Not saying Ballard is the worst GM, but he's probably middle-of-the-pack when you put everything together and if you are willing to give him a break on the QB situation. Even so, if you are viewing him as a GM in the 14-18 range, then he is a GM that will borderline make the playoffs every year. I believe fans should have the right to criticize a GM and compare him to other teams GMs.    That's what I do, I compare him to the other GMs, and if he does poorly against them in aspects such as the draft, FA, trades, and other things, then he deserves to be ridiculed. Right now, he isn't cutting it. IMO, he should have been fired at the end of last season. If he doesn't make the playoffs, then show him the door IMO. I mentioned Lynch above making two SBs in 2019 and 2023 when both Ballard and Lynch took over as GMs in 2017.    I'm tired of not winning the division. I'm tired of missing the playoffs. I'm tired of injuries to our stars. I'm tired of seeing the AFC hitting on franchise QBs and us getting nothing. Richardson needs to be the guy. He can't miss. Failure is not an option.
    • I’ve often said the worst GM knows more than the smartest fan.  In the end I wasn’t a fan of Grigson and I’m not a fan of Mike Tannenbaum.   But both are smarter than any fan.  Because they’re on the inside, they have a relationship with the owner.  Is the owner patient and realize that things may take a few years to build, or has the owner given the order to win or else?  Is the owner willing to spend on players and facilities or not?  These things make a big difference.    So I try to cut the GM as much slack as possible.  There are just too many moving parts.     And for what it’s worth…. I think Purdy is really, really good.   Is he the real deal?   Not sure, but only because he’s surrounded by premium talent at every skill position plus a very good line plus a very good play calling HC.  All that can make a big difference.  But I think we’ll all know more after the 24 season.
