The Free Agent I'm GUARANTEEING We Sign

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

 

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.

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.'.

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

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.

 

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

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
