James Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 What does this mean for Holmes though? They don't even trust him to be a back-up it seems He'll get a chance to compete in training camp. Can play both center and guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintor Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 if remember right i told they get phil costa , start a post on it before he was signed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffensivelyPC Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Same thing as last season!!!! I'm going to cry!!!! Seriously!! If he is a starter I might shed a tear for each running back and Luck!You would think Grigson being a lineman would know talent when he sees it!!! I can't handle another awful O-Line season!! I really cantOr perhaps he thinks Holmes will be a good center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennymoore24 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I don't understand how some of you think?!??! - Holmes as a 4th round pick last year- Holmes was recovering from an injury so he didn't play much- Holmes is considered a very brainy center. Why would you just bail on him and sign Mack??? The guy has never had a chance to play. I like what they did. So now we know the ceiling is how well Holmes can play. The basement is Costa, which is still better than Satele. To me, this shows faith in Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealityIsLuck Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 2YR. 2.7M #colts signed Phil Costa to 2-year, $2.7 mill contract. Can go to $3.5 mill if he hits play-time incentives.— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) March 13, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corgi Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I chuckle at the people commenting how Costa got "overpaid". I mean I wish I could get paid 1 million a year to be a substitute teacher. I'd gladly give up my EP/Director gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennymoore24 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Football knowledge isn't real strong amongst some of you, is it? You assume Costa is the starting center. He is clearly here to backup Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Even before the signing, Mack is out of our price range. It's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSColtsFan Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If a team dresses seven OL for a game, even eight, having the "subs" versatile enough to play multiple positions is incredibly important. Costa might not be the starting center, but could play G or C if needed, and at the price paid, I don't see this as a bad signing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCollarColts Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 One thing to keep in mind, when Costa started in Dallas, their entire line was bad, so it could have made him look worse than what he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Luck should go talk to Grigs and tell him he wants an O Line that can protect him. Just be straight up. Luck should be furious with this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentMc11 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The bold sentence skipped my attention. He's likely backup.We need to cool our jets....and take a wait and see approach.

MTC Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We have enough $$ to sign Mack if we wanted You are looking at possibly over $10 million dollars for a center.

jvan1973 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 And how do you know he's just depth? Do you see another center on the roster another then holmes2 for 2.7? Plus free agency isn't over and the draft is two months away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
