Dustin Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Mods can move this to Draft/FA if it belongs there, but idk. Think any team will sign him to an offer sheet? And if they do, do you think the Colts *should* match? I don't think they should, no matter what the offer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they do, do you think the Colts *should* match? I don't think they should, no matter what the offer is.I'd be very surprised. The formula would be a team with a late 2nd rounder who didn't have many outstanding needs.I doubt the Colts would match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 No. Not a 2nd Freeman is a good linebacker. Not sure why all the hate. He's basically been in the top 3 in team in tackles since he got here. Obviously as a ILB in a 3-4 scheme your tackles should be inflated a little but he has played well vs the run.Now he's poor against the pass but he really shouldn't be covering who he covers half the time. Poor calls by our D coordinator. (Who should have been fired before already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosys Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Age and potential difference.1. He's only 28 and that puts him in his prime. 2.

1959Colts Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Freeman for a #2 would be great. And too bad we couldn't get a 2nd for D'Qwell as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think it's possible, but very unlikely. The only reason I think it's even possible is because this is such a disappointing ILB class in the draft. Some team might be tempted to go with a more sure thing. But, ultimately, I think the price of a #2 will scare them off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I highly doubt it. With all do respect to Freeman teams don't like to trade second round picks for pro-bowlers let alone a player of his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman has hit his ceiling. He is not a true #1 so it wouldn't be a mega loss.Sorry but 21 is not greater than 28. You ask almost anyone, especially runners and weight lifters, when they were in their prime, it wasn't 21. Biologically and statistically speaking men hit their prime from 25-29. When I was 21 I ran a two mile in 14:00. When I was 25 I ran it 11:30.Same with weight lifting. At 145lbs I was lifting 180 max (35 over body weight). At 25 and weighing 155, i was lifting 220 (65 over body weight). Your body is primed for that kind of development and growth after 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 In a word....no. If they do I think we take the picks smiling all the way. I actually look for us to upgrade over him anyways and have him and Jackson alternate on passing packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would really help if you stopped and thought for even a quick moment before you posted. Otherwise, it's as if you're having a Turrett's moment just blurting out whatever comes to mind.....

Gavin Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 No but that has very little to do with his performance last season, Teams that would be interested would know they are not getting the same player that struggled with injuries most of the year, They would know if he is healthy that they would be getting a player more along the lines of what he was in 2012 or 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your body is primed for that kind of development and growth after 25.Yes, I understand being in your prime is much better than being a 21 year old rookie. But like I said, Freemans ceiling has been reached and he's not really a factor. He's a solid player but he's not someone that would cause our defense to fall apart if he left. With a 21 year old you can mold him into what you're looking for. In 2 years Freeman will be 30 and that's when most players start declining. Perryman would just be turning 23 with plenty of time to get better before he hits his prime. Once again like I said, it's not something I would necessarily want because Freeman is solid, but I answered his question with facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick_Rick Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I doubt anyone would pay that. I think he is quite underrated, though. One of the better coverage LB's in the league. That game against the Bengals was art. I think if we got a solid D-line in front of him, you'd see him making a lot more plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Absolutely not. Lots of draftable ILBs in the second/third range this year. I wish there was a mid round tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone offered us a straight up trade Freeman for a 2nd rounder I'd take it. Good player but I'd peg his value as a 3rd rounder at most, but that's just my opinion and I don't think I'm winning armchair GM of the season any time soon.

If someone's willing to give up a 2nd for Freeman. . . they can have him. I like Freeman and all, don't get me wrong but he's not worth a 2nd round pick. The reason we tendered him that high was to make sure that no one did give him an offer sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
