Cowboys cut Miles Austin. Any interest in a 1 year deal?

[itmustbejj]

Title says it all. I'm intrigued by the possibility of a low risk 1 year contract to see if he can improve his play (probably) and stay healthy (probably not) in a new environment. What are your thoughts?

[Dustin]

Nah, dude's hamstrings are gone.

[Gavin]

Nope

[John Waylon]

Eh. I like Tate better. He can work returns as well. 

 

Austin isn't near what he's advertised to be. 

[BlueCollarColts]

Please no

i agree our injury reports are long enough all season long

[RealityIsLuck]

I'm more than okay.

[Balzer40]

He's not gonna be cut til after june 1st. He sucks anyway and we don't need him.

[John Waylon]

Now, at vet minimum... I'd take a flyer if we couldn't land Nicks or Tate.

 

But he's not gonna play for vet minimum. TMZ will pay him more than that to take pictures of him at McDonalds since he was with one of those famewhore girls or whatnot.

That's kind of my fear. I was just floating the idea of like a 1 year vet min. If he struggles you shut him down and IR him and walk away with minimal losses. If he manages to stay healthy, you could have a decent bargain. But you are right, the odds are he can't stay healthy.

Yeah I didn't specify, but I was thinking vet minimum. Indy just seems like a great redemption spot with their current culture and young talent.

[COLTS449]

I hope not. We can get a really good WR in the draft.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

This isn't the Cowboys or Free Agent forum....therefore, wrong forum.

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

Nope, he's soft.

[jameszeigler834]

No thanks he's done.

[NewEra]

What's Cowboys plans? Now they cut ware also.

Sorry I'm more of a lurker than a poster, I figured it was OK since I was asking our interest in him as a Colt.

[TheGeneral69]

I wouldn't mind having him, I'm sure he would come cheap. It would be like DHB he may do good, or may do bad, but since he would come cheap no harm no foul. We are however solid at receiver but you can't bank that Wayne and Hilton will both stay healthy. 

[Coltswarriors]

No. He never plays.

 

Much rather go after someone else. 

[coltsfanatic24]

I would pass on any injury prone players and Austin is one of them.

[Bluefire4]

Nicks on a one year deal is the only WR I'd get.

Per a source, the Indianapolis #Colts have contacted the agent for wide receiver James Jones. Haven't confirmed, but seems possible. #NFL

pass pass pass!

[Jaric]

I wouldn't take him if he paid us to.  Rather use the roster spot on one of the very promising looking wide receivers in this years draft.  It's a good time, because even if Wayne doesn't come back 100%, he can at least get a young guy on the right path to being a pro.

 

In fact, now that I think about it, I hope we don't sign anyone in free agency.  Rather draft one and use the money elsewhere.

[#BringBobBack]

would much prefer golden tate or maybe decker's asking price has gone into freefall and he'll be reasonable on a deal

just say 'no'

[COLTSFAN12to13]

No thanks, would rather sign Nicks for a year. 

[ProblChld32]

Pass, he had a few decent season's where he stood out, other than that  he pretty much fell off.

[JoKeR]

People complained about Collie being injured too often. Good player but availability is the best ability.

Superman has said the moderators are going to give posters here much more latitude during this FA period...

 

If someone brings up a name for consideration for the Colts, I think the mods are going to let it go and not move it......

Yeah otherwise they'd be moving threads all spring long.
