Report: Colts agree to one year deal with Hakeem Nicks (merge)

[Superman]

cause they drafted Werner. Im not saying is gonna happen, but the strucure of the deal, f remember correctly , was for 2 year, the third year had no cap issues if cut. So my guess is that they plan to move on from him after that and since they drafted Werner....so i did the math.

 

this is all my opinion i have no way to know it Obviusly.

 

Werner is primarily going to play Rush backer, behind and alongside Mathis. Different position than Walden. But I do think we should draft someone -- Kyle Van Noy?? -- who can take over for Walden and provide more athleticism and pass rush at Sam. And if we do, then Walden becomes a logical release. But it won't be because he makes too much money. His contract is actually on the low end for veteran Sam backers in 3-4 defenses...

Well, think about that for a second.  The only way to become a "proven" player is you know, to play.  He (Grigson) has two proven 1000 yard receivers on the team so there is a chance there for other guys to get playing time to become "proven" in a very good situation.  Adding Nicks would mean he doesn't not believe the players he has picked are capable of that or that the coaches he has picked are capable of developing them.  I just wonder which it is.

Well, injuries will happen and you can never have too many wide receivers. Last year gave those young guys good experience and will help the wide receiver depth going into the future. Grigson looking into a way to upgrade the wide receivers by signing Nicks doesn't mean he thinks Whalen, Rogers, and Brazzil are incapable, he just see's it as a way to make the team better.

I was hoping for more than a one year deal, but I'll take it.

A try it out deal.. not bad.

[PrincetonTiger]

I could see Nicks wearing #85 or #80. I don't think they will let him have #88.

I wouldn't get sick seeing Nicks wear Dilger's 85 like I did with Some in the past

[dbarcawwe]

we got em boys

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Woohoo welcome to the Colts Mr Nicks. im thinking 5 mil prehaps

[Poster X]

I'm surprised it is only 1 year if true... figured he would want at least 3.

It's a done deal boys, and Jules! (and any other female members )

Like it.  Hopefully it goes better than the last WR we gave a one year deal too...

 

Still next year we have Wayne and Nicks as free agents as well as Hilton going into the last year of his deal.  Grigson will have to make some choices at the WR spot.

He said he would take a prove it deal. There could be a second year option as well. The main thing is the $, just want enough left to keep up my hopes for Mack.

One year means he's confident he can improve his stock. Him and his agent know his health, and they expect a big year.

[Dustin]

$3.5M with incentives for more.

[Clem-Dog]

Garcon?

[RealityIsLuck]

3.5M on a 1 year deal!

[PrincetonTiger]

Ditto

[corgi]

Garcon?

You left off the rat-tail on the "c".

Garcon, or Aaron Moorehead?

[Superman]

That's impressive. Reports said he was offered $4.5 from Carolina, which is another team he said he'd like to play for. 

[BleedBlue18]

3.5M on a 1 year deal!

That's a steal. Grigs is genius!

[PrincetonTiger]

Garcon?

At times

[wig]

Plenty of money to figure a deal with Mack if his agent really did have something the Browns couldn't match.

[BleedBlue18]

Grigs to Nicks: "Prove yourself to me and I will make you a very rich man with Mr. Irsay's money." lol

[Gavin]

Great deal, I wonder what that puts the Colts at cap wise, My guess based on what we know so far is 14-15 mill

[adamthyst]

3.5M on a 1 year deal!

Holy cheap deal!

[IndyScribe]

Great deal, I wonder what that puts the Colts at cap wise, My guess based on what we know so far is 14-15 mill

I would say 16.5 million. We had 20 million before this signing.

[Andy]

Good deal for the Colts. They have no proven receivers behind TY and Reggie, so getting Nicks as a #3 (and compete for #2 wide out) is a great deal.

 

Nice work Grigs!

[AntonMcG]

What a deal. Hats off.

[corgi]

I LOVE that guys are taking less $ to play here. I respect that, and it makes me feel like there are a lot of good people behind the scenes.

[Mitch]

Great move and great deal. Wish it was 2-3 years but I'll take a 1 year at that price

[dw49]

Like it a lot

[PrincetonTiger]

I could see Nicks wearing #85 or #80. I don't think they will let him have #88.

80 is worn by Fleener

[BProland85]

Great deal, I wonder what that puts the Colts at cap wise, My guess based on what we know so far is 14-15 mill

We were at 20 mil before, so now just around 16 mil.

[John Waylon]

Love it. Love it love it love it.

[James]

Ryan Grigson, ladies and gentlemen

[icf]

If $3.5M is right, that's an incredible deal and a great signing by Grigs

[CjMcGirt23]

Great move but the sad thing is one of either Whalen, Rogers, or Brazill is going to have to go now....

[MTC]

That's a great deal!

[IndyScribe]

Great move but the sad thing is one of either Whalen, Rogers, or Brazill is going to have to go now....

It's going to be a battle between Whalen and Brazill. Whoever loses goes to the PS.
