I think if the Colts can get this guy he would be an upgrade on the defensive front..

He doesn't miss a lot of games, he only missed one game in the past 5 years.

He's disruptive and has the ability to get to the ball carrier or quarterback.

Only negative thing about him is that he's 30.

Would probably thrive playing alongside guys like Mathis or Chapman,

I agree. I think he will bring a toughness that the middle of this line needs. And like I mentioned earlier playing alongside guys like Mathis,Redding and Chapman will only help.

I am not a big 'salary' expert...more X's and O's...:)  How much are the good players gonna go for this year?  Other than QB of course....

30 isn't too old for a 3-4 year deal if you have the right guy with the right motivation at the right price.

 

Cory Redding turned 32 during his first season with us, was signed on a 3 year deal, and has been very effective on field and in the locker room.

If Orakpo can be 'had....'  Love him....does he want to win, and establish himself again?  Werner and Walden will stay IMO however.

 

Oh, no doubt but having that 4th OLB that can be a difference maker will give more options for our pass rush. Your coverage can only hold up so much vs elite QBs. If our DE play more containment roles, pass rush comes primarily from our OLBs and outside Mathis, everyone else can be handled 1-on-1.

I agree and I love Orakpo...especially in the Geico commercials.  :)  So easy a Linebacker can do it.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
