Colts near deal with CB Vontae Davis, or not? (Reports) [Merge]

[Indi Warrior]

THANK GOD. I've been pacing all weekend

[pgt_rob]

Good to hear. Not looking forward to see his contract numbers, though. Oh well, move onto the next FA signing...

[Psyren]

Rotoworld predicts it'll be around 8 million a year.

I would happy with that.

If that's the case, then it's great for us. Much less than what I was predicting.

its in the first post

I'm not seeing anything in the first post.

Guess this embedded tweets things is not working with firefox on Linux????

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Either Grigson gave in to Davis' demands, Davis came to his senses and asked for 8 million, or they met somewhere in the middle.

[James]

Finally.

 

Can't wait for all the complaining about the contract tomorrow!!

If it's anything more than 10+ mil, i.e. more than Shields got, expect this board to explode.

[BProland85]

This is very good news as long as it doesn't exceed 9 mil per year. I would maybe be ok with 10 mil per year but that would be my limit.

 

But locking up Davis would secure our CB position other than maybe bringing in a draftee in the later rounds. Without him, our secondary would be hurting.

That would be a tad over market value

Lol yeah I felt like an * after I posted it. For some reason my computer wasn't showing the tweet, it just looked like a blank post.

It took a while to show up for me too

THANK GOD. I've been pacing all weekend

 

so glad this will stop happening soon.

[Kenny]

It's supposed to be official tomorrow, awesome.

[Dark Superman]

Great news..

I'm just afraid to see the details to his contract.

[BOTT]

So you are saying there was a negotiation?

[PrincetonTiger]

Rotoworld predicts it'll be around 8 million a year.

 

I would happy with that.

Hopefully RotoWorld is right

[coltsfanatic24]

Davis is too valuable to this team to lose we have to re sign him, 8-9 mil would be a fair deal.

[oldunclemark]

No corner is worth $10 mill

[jccmoe80]

When we re-sign Davis, we should draft Desir or McGill and sign Browner really cheap. Then we just need that monster FS to play along side of Landry.

[Bluefire4]

Great. Don't care what it is.

[jvan1973]

No corner is worth $10 mill

revis is making 16 million. Sherman will get much more than 10

Vontae Davis - DB - Colts

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Colts are "nearing a deal" with free agent RCB Vontae Davis.

La Canfora says there's "every expectation" the sides will strike an accord by Monday. If so, Davis will never make it to Tuesday's open market. Davis is seeking a contract worth in excess of $8 million per year, and perhaps closer to $10 million annually after Sam Shields broke the bank in Green Bay. Davis is better than Shields. He's also younger, turning 26 years old this May.

So who is correct

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I tell y'all what. If Grigs can get Davis for ~8mil a year when all these other Cbs are getting more...then he really is a genius. 

[Coltswarriors]

Great.

 

Conflicting reports. The worst...

[Iancolts]

Doesn't matter everybody on this forum will love that Vontae is back including me! But everyone and their moms are gonna say we overplayed including me lol

[Iancolts]

Overpayed

On who to trust based on the two reports:

 

It's hard to say. We'll find out tomorrow.

The national people tend to have the better inside info because they talk to agents and all that. The local team cover guys don't have that luxury

@ColtsAuth_Kyle: Well this could be interesting. National guys always got the big scoops under Polian. Same under Grigson?

@TribStarTJames: @ColtsAuth_Kyle or it could be agent talking to national writers and local reporters have contacts within team.
