dw49 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ehhhh... if at the right price seems like an OK move. I'm a McNary fan so maybe that Saints my opinion a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will welcome D'Qwell and see where we go from here. Smells like WR now in the draft....DL still in FA? Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwing BBZ Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 One very Important hole plugged. Maybe not one of my top 3 choices but none of them may really have been available to us in the end. So welcome to the Colts D'Qwell, wishing you and yours Happiness, good health, and much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarassedOffTheSite Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 "...D'Qwell Jackson... his arrival ends a brief tour around the league looking for a new team after being released by the Browns. Jackson will be reunited with last year’s Browns coach Rob Chudzinski, who took a job as a special assistant to head coach Chuck Pagano. Pagano also saw a lot of Jackson over the years when he was on the Ravens staff.Jackson should plug into the Colts lineup next to Jerrell Freeman and should be an upgrade from what the Colts got from a variety of players filling the position in 2013. The Titans, Broncos and Dolphins also met with Jackson, but will have to look elsewhere for help at linebacker." - PFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentMc11 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Is that a real number? Where'd it come from? I just heard that number too....seems high to me...but he does not miss games and had 143 tackles last year. I like the energy he plays with.

DoubleE Colt Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Without doubt an upgrade on what we had at a reasonable price I would think. Also provides leadership and could be a good mentor to McNary and his future development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarassedOffTheSite Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 NFL Network Ok, cool. I dont know a ton about him. Is he good? We have a thread about him http://forums.colts.com/topic/26797-browns-release-lb-dqwell-jackson/ In it I said: "Remember, Cleveland still has a lot of cap room and they were willing to let him walk. Sounds like he is a likable, classy guy but not necessarily a force at the line. Apparently he was rated by PFF as the 7th worst ILB against the run last year. Most of his tackles came downfield and it sounds like he is better suited to a 4/3. Just what I'm reading from Cleveland fans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollygagger8 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Surprised the deal is for 4 years considering he's 30. But I'm glad our need at ILB has been addressed! Hopefully the contract is cap friendly is he needs cut down the road. The Chud factor is playing out to our advantage already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgt_rob Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 5.5/year... That's not too bad really but he is up there in age. Seems like a good signing. Nicknames already? Lets call him "NyQuil" D'Qwell Jackson - He Puts People to Sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentMc11 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Still have the C position to address , Thomas return shores up the guard spot a bit. Safety...?

Also provides leadership and could be a good mentor to McNary and his future development. I agree. I like the addition from a personnel standpoint. By all accounts, he is a high character guy and great teammate. I don't know enough yet about his skill set to be happy or mad about the on the field product.

Derakynn Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It is most likely the same type of contract as last year. First two years with guarantees money, third year can be cut if cap needed or underperforming. Hopefully at least. But expect this will be a good signing.

Legend of Luck Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, we didnt "break the bank" on him. Hes getting 5.5 mil a year maximum, or 2.75 mil a year minimum. Which isnt awful. Could be worse. Lets just hope he can help the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 4 Years, 22 Million, 11 Million guarenteedGreat for the competition at ILB. 4 years is more than what I expected, but we have to wait and see how it is structured.As far as D'Qwell as a player, I think he'll fit in nicely at ILB. Compete with McNary, and we'll see who comes out on top. At worst he'll be quality depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS Colts Fan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 looks like the Colts are overpaying FA's again... Pat Mac just said it was a good move for the Colts on NFL Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sack Pack Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Bobby Jefferson II @CampJefferson 3mRelax it's a great deal. Look at the Guaranteed number $11mil. So $5.5m owed in 2014 and 2015 and that's it..it's basically a 2yr Deal ppl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps his production was affected by playing in a new defensive scheme under Ray Horton. I'd be interested to see his rankings for previous years.

James Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 G, C, WR, DE, OLB and CB should be upgraded next with ILB out of the picture. And we have plenty of cap space and enough draft picks to do so.Remember people, the signing of D'Qwell is basically our way of using the raised cap. Think of it as the cap had never been raised.

csmopar Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 how has he signed already i thought free agents couldn't sign until the 11thHe was released early by his old team, therefore he was an unrestricted FA, he could sign whenever he wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Neon Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Exactly. He's a veteran stopgap who will renogotiate or be cut to save money right when Luck, Hilton etc are due to be paid. We get a veteran leader/adequate starter in the meantime. Like this deal.Bobby Jefferson II @CampJefferson 3mRelax it's a great deal. Look at the Guaranteed number $11mil.

James Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Interesting..I hope we cut Angerer now and keep McNaryAngerer is a FA. Doesn't have to cut him. He's just not gonna be resigned. McNary is under contract, no worried about him.I Like the fact the Grigson is creating competition at ILB. Freeman, Jackson, McNary, Muamba.
