Mutual interest between Arthur Jones and Colts (merge)

[Dustin]

One team showing very real interest in #Ravens DE Arthur Jones is the #Colts. The interest is mutual. Jones has gotten a lot of play so far.

I would really enjoy this signing if it happens. As always though, you wonder what the amount would be.

[The Peytonator]

This is going to be the best Free Agency EVER!!!

[Dustin]

[coltsfanatic24]

Jones would be a great addition to the defense.

[chad72]

Good to know!!! Cory Redding is in his last leg and Rico Mathews does not quite fit the rotation as well like Moala does.

 

Redding, Moala, RJF and Jones would be an outstanding rotation with fresh legs.

Are we the ice cream truck?

[BlueCollarColts]

Sign him!

Apparently...and unbeknownst to me, Jones actually shaved his head too back in 2012?

 

Wow.

[chad72]

I think the ice cream truck will be replaced by Casey Irsay's yogurt truck that he will be picked up at the Indy airport in.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Jackson took less money to come and play for Pagano...someone he has never played for. Jones HAS played for him...we'll see.

[COLTS449]

n.

Wow.

 

Means he's got love for coach. Good sign. We're probably the favorites to sign him.

[BlueCollarColts]

Would he be a starter?

It would seem that way. If the guy has that kind of love for our Head Coach. Where are all of the complainers about Pagano at? ;)

[pgt_rob]

Get it done.

[COLTS449]

He should be. Dude was a beast last year. Better than anyone we have on the D Line.

Can we at least post links or copy/paste text only?  I see the subject heading, but no post.

I would like Jones as well, but where does that leave RJF?

 

Neither can play nose tackle.

My work computer must block it somehow.  Usually I at least see that something's there, but the company policy thing comes up or an "X" like when a picture doesn't properly load.  Alright, well thanks anyway.

NOOOOOOO!

Please no more Moala. He is an Angerer.  MHughes & Pendleton both are an ugrade. JMO of course.

[Slick_Rick]

I'd like it. The D-line would be much improved. I would want to see us bring in a NT, and maybe a pass rushing linebacker.

Arthur Jones - DL - Ravens

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Colts' interest is "very real," and the "interest is mutual."

The Colts could use a pocket-pushing end to play across from run-stuffer Ricky Jean-Francois. Jones certainly makes sense in Indy, but the Colts have a ton of competition, including from the division-rival Titans. Jones has drawn interest from both 3-4 and 4-3 teams. He's a candidate to break the bank.

I could be wrong but Jones would probably take Reddings spot and them 2 rotate.

[chad72]

Oh yeah, Moala's contract is up, isn't it? I thought he was still under contract.

 

However, I thought he played well enough as a 3-4 DE, better than as a 4-3 UT that Polian drafted him for. In fact, his last few years at USC, he played as a 3-4 DE and I think that suits him better than 4-3 UT.

 As the LDE. It leaves Redding on the bench at the start of the game. He got mopped up in the playoffs.

SF used RJF at Nose, primarily in passing situations. We did at least once in the playoffs and he blew through the line and was chasing the QB.  RJF & Jones in the middle of our 4-2-5 on 3rd and long- VG.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

OUCH! The Seahawks just re-signed DE Michael Bennett to a four-year, $34 million contract.

 

Bar set?

[PeterBowman]

I'd like to see the Colts do what Seattle does and have a big rotation of D-lineman...now I understand that it helps to be deep at the d-line to do that, which it looks like what they're trying to do. It'll also help out the secondary tremendously having a solid pass rush. I think it was pretty well known that last year pass rush was going to be an issue, but with an extra year for last years rookies and some solid FA signings this year could go a long way to helping that.

I know Redding's played nose a little bit, and RJF played there at times in SF...Jones could probably do it as well if need be. Chapman should get the bulk of the NT snaps though. I would like to see NT depth addressed with a late round pick like Ellis or Kerr.

[The Peytonator]

That is a steal of a deal if you ask me for Bennett.

 

Jones should be several million cheaper.

Yes on a Good run stuffer. Franklin did not get it done. Hughes and Pendleton can both play some nose. But lets get Deep.

McNary will be good as a PR LB. Muamo is built for it but will likely take awhile to get up to speed. So yes we are set up to add another speedy ILB.

 Adongo should be ready for some attempts at some point, and Cam Johnson is being developed. A future Mathis Replacement could be drafted.
