why all the "wishing" for orakpo?

[colts_100nascar17fan]

He is not that good and for the love of god he hasn't played a full season since 2011. Go after somebody like houston,suh,or ngata. Then Byron maxwell and a saftey and or switch Darrius butler to saftey. Knighton if u can't get 1 of the first 3 I mentioned. Iupati. Take a risk on lucks contract and lower the number by fully guaranteeing it which will help the cap in future. 1 receiver would be nice,edlemann may be a cap casualty according to one football show,he catches everything and gets open.

Who is talking about Orakpo at all?

[dgambill]

I doubt there is a ton of people rooting for us to get the guy. Those that are probably only see the youtube highlights of the guy. Those that dig deeper understand that there are serious downsides to the guy. Not saying I'm going to scream bloody murder if we get the guy but I would expect a heavily incentive laden deal if we brought him in at all...or a deal like Nicks received last year as a prove it 1 yr deal.

[BOTT]

Yeah, you 2 people stop bringing up Orakpo on occasion....it's driving everyone nuts.

[Smonroe]

We need the commercials, since Peyton left no one does national ads anymore.

[COLTS449]

I think he'd be a great signing on a 1 year prove it deal, but I wouldn't consider giving him a big contract. I mean who wouldn't want him on a 1 year deal?

[pgt_rob]

I hear more about Terrance Knighton than I do Orakpo.

[crazycolt1]

It's pretty easy to explain. Every free agent is thought to be better than the players on the Colts roster. :yes:  Especially when some think they know more and know better than Grigson, Pagano and any other coach for the Colts. Great free agents grow on trees and all Grigson needs to do is pick um.

[lollygagger8]

Maybe Orakpo can play scrabble with Castanzo and Luck since they like board games. 

 

[ProblChld32]

ehhhh he's kind of aged and his production has dropped a bit, with that being said if we did land him for a very reasonable price i wouldn't be upset.

I've only seen a few even mention him

[ColtsLegacy]

If he can stay healthy, Orakpo can still be a dominant force in this league. I'd love him for a fair price.

[azcolt]

I like his name, though Steve Stonebreaker's name was better -- and Steve is probably on Social Security these days.

 Butler to safety says all one needs to know.

The only thing I've heard on Orakpo was someone saying that McPhee was mediocre and they'd rather have Orakpo which I think is ridiculous.

[bap1331]

Hes too hyped.. I have barely heard a peep about him in highlights or anything.

[bap1331]

If he doesnt mind getting paid in gum, ill take him.

[COLTS449]

If Orakpo's healthy, he's most likely getting 10 plus sacks. Key word is if he's healthy. That's why I said only on a 1 year deal. I'd rather get him on a 1year deal than give somebody like Graham 20plus million honestly. Graham's never lived up to the hype aside from having a decent season last year. Grigs should have signed Dumervil two years ago and we wouldn't be worrying about pass rushers.

[#BringBobBack]

no thank you on orakpo

 

i would prefer brandon graham although i think he wants to play in a 4-3 or draft alvin dupree he'd be an awesome pick if he somehow falls to us

This is so true here. People want everyone FA or guy who is going to be released. I've seen topics here about Crabtree, Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, Suh, Fairley, Houston, CJ Spiller, etc...Colts fans here are spoiled. Our roster is never good enough for people.

Must be reading threads from previous years.
