Can we sign Bob Sanders?

[typhoon2285]

Probably a very silly idea but if he can play FS and not get injured I would be fine giving him a look. His current Nfl status is "free agent" not retired so it seems to be a decent idea.

[BlueCollarColts]

We COULD sign him, but we have about 5 other safeties on the roster who are better than him, so I don't see why we would.

Not a decent idea. In fact a really bad idea that has less than zero chance of happening.

I like bob, I miss him he was my favorite player. Maybe he still has something left from his DPOY season, you never know since he has not played in a very long time.

[PrincetonTiger]

Pass

Him not playing in a while probably says something about the caliber of player he is now.

lmaoo

[akcolt]

Maybe we could get Bickett and Freeny back to just to get us thru Mathis suspension Bickett has really been resting and I hear Freeny will be cut

 

I don't think the coaches see S as big as a hole as the board does.

[Bluefire4]

Leave Bob alone please..

[21isSuperman]

As one of Bob's biggest fans, I don't think he will play another snap in the NFL.  His body couldn't handle it and he's 33.  I would love to see him on the Colts as a positional coach or something, but he won't be playing.

[BigQandTheManiac]

you're not the only one who thought about that idea..i'v been thinking about that too..

Yeah, sign him as a coach or front office guy. But his career is over.

[bestQBever]

I love the idea. Let's also trade for Freeney and Dallas clark while we're at it.

We can sign Dallas Clark instead of trading him.

 

[Dustin]

He's probably still better than Landry lol

[Moncrief]

One of the Colts mailbags listed Sanders as quietly retired and wishing him the best

[BlueCollarColts]

Sanders at 33 with his style play would only be a matter of time until an injury. 

[Burls' Kid's]

My dear god.

[Valpo2004]

I'm a Sanders fan, he's an Iowa guy too which is one of the first things I liked about the Colts.  (The Polian era Colts gave a lot of Iowa guys a shot.)

 

But he's old in NFL terms and he hasn't played in a few years.  On top of that he was an injury risk when he was young.  

 

It just doesn't make much sense to try to bring him back as a player.   

[JoshPhilpot]

No to the Sanders idea, but I'd be all up for bring in Dallas Clark to be in our 3 TE set.

[B~Town]

I loved watching Big Bob lay down the boom but with that style of play your body can only go on doing it for so long . In some off chance we did sign him I would not want to see him on the field until the playoffs then let him go wild .

[typhoon2285]

Personally I would love it and from a business perspective, bringing a colt hero back for 1-2 more years would sell tickets and even jerseys. He would probably give the colts more revenue then his total contract would be worth. Bob Sanders will always be my favorite player to ever play in the nfl. Even if we signed him for a cheap back up role to help mentor the young guys I would be fine with that.  

[swankdizzle]

Or we could trade for Antoine Bethea.  He's old too.

[Jules]

Lets not live in the past lol. Just cherish the memories he gave us....when he played.

 

 

[GoColts8818]

Can we?

Sure

Will we or should we?

No

[ReMeDy]

I still remember when Bob was injured on about the 2nd snap in the PRESEASON. Injury report?... Out the entire season. What a joke.

[JamesGallegos]

Yeah you are right it is really very decent but it is good for players that they play by having this tricks. It is fine that he did not injured and playing well and he was in team not retired.

A very nice way of letting any Bob Sanders fans out there down easy without making them feel foolish for even asking the question. Bravo Jules! 

[Warhawk]

Heck, let's go out and sign Chad Cota while we're at it...

[GwinnettColt]

I laughed out loud.

[CR91]

people the last time bob sanders was relevant was 7 years ago. let it go

Can we make a GIGANTIC billboard in gold leaf lettering that says that? Amen Brother Amen. 

 

Bringing Bob Sanders back, a great safety for us in his day, is like bringing whacky 80 hairstyles back. You can do it sure, but some things must fade away gracefully and completely for good reason. They ran their course and must disappear forever now NFL wise. 

[Indygal1218]

I thought we wanted a HEALTHY safety. There's not enough duct tape in the world to hold that man together anymore.

Now if we're talking flag football, I'm all in.

Sort of.

[BlueStallion]

No need to bring back the old-obsolete-broken T1000 Eraser when you can draft the taller-stronger-faster T2000 version.  Does this kid remind you of anyone?
