The Free Agent I'm GUARANTEEING We Sign

[coltsfan1218]

Pernell McPhee. 

 

-He played in the same scheme

-He knows Chuck

-He's a typical Grigson signing, a guy who has proven in a rotational role and may be able to make the step to being a stud starter (ex. Toler and RJF)

-Ex-Ravens player (same thing as knowing Chuck)

 

I'll be happy with this signing because I believe he'll pan out as a starter and become a stud.

 

Any other free agents anyone guarantees will sign?

[Nobody]

I'm not that high on him honestly.

I agree. Called this one a month ago. He will be a Colt

same could be said for Paul Kruger but they passed on him.   I'm personally not expecting the colts to sign McPhee.

[ztboiler]

I would like to see us start drafting front 7 talent at the clip that the Ravens do and with similar success, rather than simply signing the guys they drafted.  In fairness, Newsome and Hughes may yet pan out to be similar caliber players and we haven't had the excess picks that the Ravens operate with (self-inflicted, of course) other than in 2012 and that was a draft for the ages where we rebuilt the skill positions.

[COLTS449]

I hope not. I'm guessing he isn't that same beast next season playing full time. Besides, I don't ever see him putting up 10-12 plus sacks year after year, myself. I want a freak at OLB. I'd bet Greg Hardy could be had on a 1year deal. I think he can stand up.

[RealityIsLuck]

He's a monster. I've always seen the connection. I'd be all for it.

...yay

my free agent guarentee is mike adams...safe bet i think

We've done this before in offering RJF a starter's contract when he was only a "rotational player." We better not make that same mistake again and overpay for a guy like McPhee.

Well he can quote himself and say told ya, apparently that means a lot to some people on this forum.

[MTC]

Baltimore fans thinks he's just above average. I don't want an above average player. I want good. Especially on defense. 

[Defjamz26]

We really need to stop just signing Baltimore players. I mean Redding and Jones panned out, but now you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel. We will probably sign McPhee though.

Yeah, the roster is littered with 2 whole players that played for the Ravens. Stop the madness!

Those players don't hit free agency unless they're flawed (injury/legal), overpriced, or play non-premium positions.

[CanuckColt]

It doesn't thrill me, but you are probably correct...yet another Chuck-ite...the Indianapolis Ravens.

[Bluefire4]

I'd love it.. he got plenty of pressure in limited snaps last year. I know people want the big names but McPhee has a better chance of succeeding in our scheme then Hardy and won't cost as much as Houston. And he's better than Hali and Orakpo.. Jason Worilds is they only other pass rusher I'd love to have.

[Bluefire4]

We've done this before in offering RJF a starter's contract when he was only a "rotational player." We better not make that same mistake again and overpay for a guy like McPhee.

But RJF didn't produce the way McPhee did. He was a beast.

[NewColtsFan]

Can we please stop calling every good to very good player "a monster" or "a beast"....

 

Can't we leave those terms for the best of the best?

 

And McPhee, while a good  (or some say above average) is not either "a monster" or a "beast"...

 

Truth is,  the great players rarely hit free agency.      There are exceptions to every rule,  like Revis last year.   And maybe Murray this year.  

 

But Detroit is trying hard to keep Suh.    Now HE is a monster or a beast.

[backshoulderfade]

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. How are the Chiefs goinf to re-sign Houston? They have very little cap space.

[Superman]

Revis was flawed due to injury, and very high priced. Just illustrates the point, the really good players don't make it to free agency unless there's some sort of issue.

[Superman]

Release Tamba Hali, release or restructure Dwayne Bowe, release Anthony Fasano, and they'd be somewhere around $25m under the cap.

That much? I thought they only save about 5 a piece for Hali and Bowe and Fasano under 2? Am I mistaken?

Edit: wait, I bet I already know the answer...post-june 1st cuts.

[Superman]

Hali saves them $9m. Bowe can save them $11m as a post-June 1 release, $5m as a straight release, or more or less with a restructure. Fasano can save them $2m as a straight release, $3m as a post-June 1 release.

Not a chance McPhee gets 7-9 million a year, 6 if lucky, more likely around 3-5. The most sacks he's gotten a year is 7.5 in a contract year. Most number of tackles is 20 something. He's not even a poor man's Justin Houston, more like a Jarrett Johnson.

I'd be happy if there was just a list of the hierarchy.

Monster, beast, the many tiers of elite.

I've always been confused on what's higher than what, and which represented 'just O.K.'.

Worse case they will tag him.

[coltsfanmilyman]

I doubt Worilds make it out of Pitt considering their aging d. The only guarantee that I want from this team is make sure they work from the inside out. I personally don't want to hear about skill positions in the FA. I WANT BEEF on the lines. I'll be so disappointed if the first fa is a skill position. We can get that through the draft. Safeties, rush backer. RB,WR. Just please work inside out. Everything else will work itself out with capable lines

Very nice post.

 

Well said...

Paul Kruger:

 

-most sacks in a year = 9, in a contract year

-most tackles in a year = 30, in a contract year

-average annual salary = $8.1 mil

 

this kind of thing happens every single year.  I'm pretty sure your $3-5 mil per year guess is going to be ridiculously low

[HeSoColt]

He is the exact player we will overpay for.

[OffensivelyPC]

You know you don't win anything if you're right, don't you?

Not to mention the value of his guarantee...

 

[Coltsman1788]

I expect Grig's to sign McPhee and to over pay in the process...unfortunately. His numbers last year weren't much better than Jonathan Newsome's.

[CR91]

better not overpay is all I gotta say

[PeterBowman]

I'm guaranteeing Haloti Ngata if he gets released

 

 

that'll be quicker than the Arthur Jones signing last year.
