PFT Reporting Davis To Sign With Another Team

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Could be that I am and I guess there's a point where the money is going to exceed the worth. It's not Andrew Luck we're talking about.

Three hours and we'll know!

Hopefully Sheldon Price turns out to be a stud.

Grigson must not have thought he was worth $11.8M.

 

 

Foe some reason I thought was around 10.4. Yeah... 11.8 was not a good option.

On the NFL Network, they just said Davis is still in talks with the Colts!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Just said on NFL Network that "Vontae is negotiating with the Colts" this was from the Jets reporter, so dunno I guess there is still hope. I had heard that it seemed like the Jets were going to get him.

 

 

I think it is interesting that we're not hearing ANYTHING at all about Vontae this morning. If that continues, I have to think it was all smoke by his agent to provoke Grigson to raise his number.....and I'm doubting he would. If no more comes out, Davis'll be a Colt.

[dw49]

I think there are good replacements at good cost in free agency. I might be as wrong as I've ever been about anything, but players like Tarell Brown, DRC and a couple others will be decent players at less cost.

 

Also, I don't think franchising him was part of the plan at any point. The CB tag value is over-inflated due to Revis and a couple other contracts that didn't reflect the presumed CB market value. Of course, that market value has gone up in the past couple weeks, with Grimes and Shields signing big deals, but neither of them signed for $11m/year. 

 

To me, the plan seemed to be "we have an offer in mind, we'll negotiate and see what happens, and if we can't agree, then we'll spend that money elsewhere." It's Free Agency 101, and I don't get why people are so shocked by this approach. People have been complaining about the $4m/year for Walden and the $5.5m/year for RJF (with reasonable guaranteed money), but we should just give Davis whatever he wants? I don't get it. Can't just buckle to players' demands without regard for your cap situation moving forward. There's been no indication from Grigson's previous moves that he'd do anything so reckless.

 

 

Yes , I guess at some point you do let him walk. I didn't realize the FT price was just shy of 12 mill. That really does make it a different ball game.

[Pelt]

Yeah, any potential suitors may have cooled their talks off with Davis since the news of Revis possibly hitting the market came to light. Purely speculation on my part though...

[Jaric]

You realize depth players are a must right?

Not if you turn injuries off.

[Superman]

It's a holdover from the Polian philosophy of the have and the have-nots.

 

You're either going to be the highest paid or not-signed.  He gave Kelvin Hayden over $8m APY in 2011!

 

Hayden's deal was 2009, but yeah. With $22m guaranteed, by the way.

[BrentMc11]

Hopefully Sheldon Price turns out to be a stud. 

Grigson was raving about him in his post season Gettysburg Address!  

[dw49]

No doubt true. Manning , Clark , Freeney , Sanders all received record contracts for their positions. Then he guts the O line by letting one guard go and making the other a scapegoat.

[bavanlan]

Hayden's deal was 2009, but yeah. With $22m guaranteed, by the way.

 

Yeah, merged that and "we cut him in 2011".

[ColtJ82]

I think it is called a Price Tag!  

 

This ain't Walmart

 

Or the Transition Tag?

[BLUEx40]

 

Vontae Davis - DB - Colts

 

TFY Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports "word amongst insiders" is the Jets are "going hard" after free agent CB Vontae Davis

 

that's the team I would choose if was just chasing the money don't expect to see a super bowl anytime soon

[Warhawk]

I just got an update on my phone that said we're re-signing him.

[Draztik]

We got him he's staying
