Verner visiting Colts today

[theanarchist]

I'm watching NFL network. One of their reporters just mentioned that Verner was visiting the Colts today, the last team on his list to visit. May not mean a thing but thought I would mention it.

[Drewbacca]

This could get interesting.

[GoColts8818]

If we lose Davis Grigson better do all he can to not let Verner leave without a contract.

 

Man that will be confusing if we sign him we'll have Verner and guy's name that is Werner but is pronounced Verner...

[Dustin]

anybody got a citation?

 

Last I read, Verner wasn't making any visits. 

[Jaric]

Sending a message to Vontae?

[Hamster360]

I thought he wasn't making any visits? I doubt we're in play for him

[bavanlan]

[James]

Inb4  "But he only plays zone. He can't play press man"

[Jaric]

TO THE DIME PACKAGE!

[MTC]

To sign a contract?

[csmopar]

Interesting...... Now where's my OLINE wishes?!

That's interesting, I thought players weren't allowed to visit teams until after 4PM today?

[Le Neon]

But he is being the zones, not so much man press type. In communist russia, corner press YOU.

[Dustin]

This is true, which leads me to doubt the validity of this report. Players aren't even allowed to talk to teams, let alone visit them. All contact has to be done through the agents.

Sending a message to Vontae?

 

 

I really really hope im wrong BUT if any1is sending a message it"s Davis saying that he's walking

[Stoney]

Just seems to small to me to be a good physical press corner. Has this guy ever thrived in a defense where he wasn't playing zone. Look what happened to nmamdi Asomugha

Asomugha struggled when he went to zone.

exactly it's not like he's going to go oh man the Colts are talking to Verner I better hurry up and sign for less than what I can get from another team.

 

This smells like Grigson getting a back up plan in place to cover losing Davis.

 

Keep in mind when we lost Garcon after trying to keep him in 2012 Grigson had a deal done with Wayne later that night to cover losing Garcon.  Grigson has been good at making sure he has a plan B or C in place if plan A doesn't work out. 

[Day at the Hilton]

I don't think anyone has ever visited and left without a contract

[ProblChld32]

Interesting, Very interesting !!!

[GoColts8818]

I don't think anyone has ever visited and left without a contract

What about the "Whooper" from last year?  I mean don't get me wrong I guess it COULD have been DHB but I don't think Irsay would have gone that crazy over DHB but then again it's Irsay.

[Stoney]

Asomugha struggled when he went to zone.

Yeah I know. He switched schemes. Exactly what Verner would be doing.

[bavanlan]

It was DHB.

[theanarchist]

NFL network may be screwy. Their free agency "latest news" has Louis Delmas signing with us. I believe he signed with the Dolphins

[NewColtsFan]

I don't think anyone has ever visited and left without a contract

 

I'm not sure any of us would ever know whether that's true or not....

 

But, if I had to guess,  I'd guess that's not true.

[Gavin]

This is true, which leads me to doubt the validity of this report. Players aren't even allowed to talk to teams, let alone visit them. All contact has to be done through the agents. 

probably scheduled a visit through his agent

[Dustin]

probably scheduled a visit through his agent

 

He can't. He can't have any contact directly with the team. 

[Gavin]

He can't. He can't have any contact directly with the team. 

His agent can, the team just cant initiate it is my understanding

[csmopar]

He can't. He can't have any contact directly with the team. 

Yes his agent can arrange it, just can't be before 4 pm today.

[Dustin]

Yes his agent can arrange it, just can't be before 4 pm today.

 

Supposedly this is his "last meeting" implying that he had ones before this. 

[bavanlan]

Supposedly this is his "last meeting" implying that he had ones before this. 

 

I would imagine it's probably a slip where his representatives set meetings.

[Dustin]

His agent can, the team just cant initiate it is my understanding

 

He personally cannot be in contact at the team at all before 4 P.M. today. Doing so is tampering. 

[Gavin]

Supposedly this is his "last meeting" implying that he had ones before this. 

Might be, That tells me his agent has been very busy

[csmopar]

Supposedly this is his "last meeting" implying that he had ones before this. 

It could be he's not coming till later tonight. Anything is possible with jet travel these days...

[CR91]

Might as well say signed. If grigs wants you and you're in Indy, you're not leaving til you sign

[Boiler_Colt]

In the words of George Takei, "OH MY!"

[mattceinicram]

Verner might be a slight upgrade over Davis...so if this happens (or Revis...I can still dream) happens, than I no longer feel as bad about letting him walk

[Gavin]

He personally cannot be in contact at the team at all before 4 P.M. today. Doing so is tampering.

Direct contact by the player and potential new team is not allowed, Agents also cant have any direct contact......That can easily be interpreted as face to face and not phone I believe

[csmopar]

just going out on a very very very thin limb here, but could you image having Davis, Verner, Toler and Butler.....
