Vontae Davis #12 Free Agent in NFL

[Caleb3502]

In case anyone didn't see it yet.  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000314696/article/jimmy-graham-leads-top-25-nfl-free-agents-for-2014

He appears to be one of the top free agent pickups this year.  If we could resign him that would be huge. 

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Oh reaally?

[GoColts8818]

I see a franchise tag in Vontae's future.

[John Waylon]

Alex Mack is a FA?

 

Let the dreaming begin.

[Caleb3502]

The only cornerbacks ahead of him are Verner and Grimes

[21isSuperman]

The list is not really that indicative since most of those guys won't hit free agency.  There's no way Jimmy Graham leaves the Saints, Talib is very likely to return to New England, Denver has liked DRC's play this year, etc. 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Nice list of players!

He's not going anywhere..

[Iancolts]

Well I see DRC, grimes, and maybe even jimmy those three guys are in cap hell teams meaning not enough money to resign unless they take cap friendly deals

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Mayb byrd but I dont see us paying him a boat load of money, mack would b smart move. Other than that I dont see any of them coming here. Verner would b dumb not to stay in Tennessee where ray horton is now and I doubt they let him walk.

There is no way the Saints don't find the money to re-sign Jimmy Graham.

There is no way the Saints don't find the money to re-sign Jimmy Graham.

 

Brees has already made it known that he is willing to restructure his contract.  Jimmy ain't going nowhere. 

[bavanlan]

Assuming they actually hit free agency, Orakpo (unlikely), Mack (mid-likely), and Verner (most-likely) would all make big impacts here; probably the most of the people on the list.

[Smonroe]

Yep. I said that Grigs should be on the phone with his agent a minute after midnight the day free agency starts.

If we're going to overpay for anyone, it better be an O linemen like him.

[Jeffrey Jeff]

Colts need a shut-down big corner like Aquib Talib-NE was genus to pick him up--I feel we need him here bad regardless what we do w/V. Davis.......Grimes maybe another we can get ,,,,,,,,,along w/Talib.......We need OLine-shut down corner,,,,,,,,,Dline receiver Tight end if the price is right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,We need to sign Donald Brown back,,,,,,Then that should be all our $$ taken up & spent,,,,,,,,,,Then in 2nd rd.draft best player available at Oline Dline Receiver,,,,,,,,,Corner...........

When did Talib become Deion Sanders? Good player, but the amount of hype that guy gets goes overboard.

We don't need a tight end at all man. Allen and Fleener will be a force next year. You would rather have Talib than Verner or Grimes? Talib is crazy bro. We don't need him around our young players.

[crestmount]

Mack would be the first guy I would target, followed by Orapko

[5toolplayer]

So the Colts need a TE after drafting 2 in the 2012 draft? Interesting.

Triple Threat TE Combo

[HarryTheCat]

Deion!....I'll never forget that play in a Dallas game when Marvin Harrison burned him for six.  He spun ol' Neon Deion around and right out of BOTH of his shoes AND his jock on that play.

[Solon]

If Vontae can be consistent, he'd be the best corner in the game.

Tight end is one of the last things we need

[PrincetonTiger]

Triple Threat TE Combo

Fleener , Allen, and Doyle

[markabrown96]

And he's our #1 free agent

[Maniq]

We spend a 2nd on the guy. He's shown enough though lacking consistency.

He'll be re-signed. Not doubting it for a minute.

[Jeffrey Jeff]

Starting a new topic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Eric Decker the Colts have interest in,UmmmmmmmmmmmI am not sold on him as a great receiver ,,,,,,,,,,,,And he'd cost loads to land here in Indy,,I say no,,,,,,,,,,,90% of why he is goodis eytn Manning making him good,Otherwise he is average,and Hence totally not worth the high price tag on him,,,,,Although Luck would make him good also,,,,,,,I still say he is way to much money to get him,,,,,,,,,,,,,Luck could make two other receivers that are good for the same price -and that Luck would make great,,,,,,,,GriffWhalen is not great but Luck is making him beter than he is,,,,,,,,,,I'd love to see another TY Hilton brought in in this draft he s Great already,,,,,,,,,,,And great some OLine F**ing HELP...............And Secondary and a legit pass rusher and Run Stuffer!!!!! It was EMBARASSING how NE. blew us out w/ their run game,,,,,,,,,,,,,And add to te fact that the Refs (didn't call the pass interference when the NE secondary guy knocked Whalen down OR when Vellno (sp) tripped Luck,,,,,,,,,,both those would of given us 1st downs and hey could of led to TDs which would of changed the game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,We always get burned by bad calls................

Talib may not be Deon Sanders But who is ,,,,Sanders one of the all time greats in his prime,,,,,,,Talib is a long lanky shut down corner,,,,,,,,,,,who takes out the other teams best guy wheather receiver Or tight end aka Jimmy Gramm which he handled well in their game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Who is better than Talib in this league? Grimes Verner? maybe maybe not ,,,,,,,,,,,I'll take Talib any day he is proven he proved it all season long w/NE.......Even tho I hate NE I have to give credit where cedit is due,,,,,,,Belicheck made a good pick up getting Talib

[indycrazy1887]

Umm Patrick peterson, richard sherman, darrelle revis, and charles tillman are all better than talib

He is not a shut down corner

[throwing BBZ]

No he wouldn`t! He would still get burned by Elite quickness/speed.

[Le Neon]

No he wouldn`t! He would still get burned by Elite quickness/speed.

I don't buy this. He's fast and strong enough to cover anybody if he's focused. I don't think he'll ever be on the same level as Revis or Asomugha (in his prime) but he easily has the cover skills and athleticism to be among the top 5 at his position.

[Beauregarde]

I doubt it. I think someone is going to offer him the farm and the chance to be in a Super Bowl next year.

Who got taken out of the AFC Championship game by little Wes Welker.

[OffensivelyPC]

No he wouldn`t! He would still get burned by Elite quickness/speed.

He shut down Demaryius Thomas with Peyton Manning throwing to him.  He would be top 3 if he was consistent.

[BLUEx40]

Yep. I said that Grigs should be on the phone with his agent a minute after midnight the day free agency starts.

that would be the best day of the offseason but i don't know, the browns do have a lot of cap and a franchise tag but i really hope he hits free agency

[Narcosys]

Assuming they actually hit free agency, Orakpo (unlikely), Mack (mid-likely), and Verner (most-likely) would all make big impacts here; probably the most of the people on the list.

I actually dont figure Verner would hit FA, and if he did, i really dont think we would make a concerted effort to bring him in here.  Not until we shore up our other FA's of our own and shore up the larger problem areas before addressing CB.

[theanarchist]

I see a franchise tag in Vontae's future.

Man, I'd rather see us sign him long term this year. We have cap space and now is the time to do it. Next year isn't.

[theanarchist]

I don't see us giving Arakpo serious consideration.

And he "gets hurt" every time they are in a big game.
