Like I said I know we can't get most of the FAs yet, and while I don't hate the signing it's a typical Grigson "bargain bin", "ehhh" signing.

Name one player we can sign before Tuesday that is a top free agent.

You wouldn't mind Suh for 12 million. Lol

I wouldn't mind Suh for the vet minimum,

You're ridiculous and the type of poster on here that drives me nuts. If it was up to you we'd only spend about 20 million are year on players

Somebody get this man some coffee......

I think 1 million if he is cut. Anyway we are pretty loaded at RG now

Herremans

Thornton

Heenan

They can get a replacement for cheaper.

$731 k is the cap hit. Only way to get someone cheaper is a lower round pick in the draft.

You're an *. So you would rather spend starting QB Money for one defensive player? Thank god you aren't our GM..

I'll be surprised if you know anything about the Colts organization, or that we have our entire 2012 draft class coming up with their rookie contracts expiring. But yeah, let's spend 20 million on one guy not named Andrew Luck. Get real man.. The Colts need a heck of a lot more than Suh to win a SB. You make it seem like this team needs one player to take them over the top.

Wouldn't it be great if we could sign Suh, McCourty, Murray, and Iupati all for the vet minimum. Man we would be loaded

I clearly stated I understood who we can sign right now and I don't have a problem with the signing per se, but it doesn't impress me either; and IF Herreman is the extent of Grigson addressing the RG spot (instead of someone like Boling,Franklin, etc...) than I will be very disappointed.

$731k cap hit, his signing doesn't make it an impossibility to sign Boling, Franklin, etc. This wasn't supposed to be an impressive or flashy signing.

So far, Grigson is batting 1.000 (a thousand) this offseason. Every move has been correct.

Waived Landry, AJax, and Nixon. Let Shipley go. Re-signed Hasslebeck. Tendered Freeman at a nice level. Unfortunately let Wayne go ( but it was the right move).

And now a starting RG (or insurance in case Reitz leaves)...and cutting Thomas will probably get a starter for $0.

And I like the fact that the Colts have been solidly linked to Branch and Searcy (at least inquiring).

I agree, that's why I emphasized "IF" in my post ... but, would it really surprise you if Grigson's plan was to let Herreman compete with who we already had for the RG spot, and really didn't address the position any further? It wouldn't surprise me, and I would be disappointed IF that turns out to be the case.

No I wouldn't be surprised. I would be disappointed either because I think he is a solid upgrade, my biggest issue would be the fact that we would be in the same position next year if he walks.

Here's a Nick Foles video from '13-'14 that shows Herremans (#79) in pass pro. 1 thing I like about this video is that you will see Foles routinely escape right behind Todd and buy a ton of time or pick up yards on the run. Andrew is light years ahead of Foles athletically so im pretty pumped about the possibilities of Andrew on the run. He's pretty good in blitz pick up and anchoring against the bull rush too. Good signing Grigs!

 

Spoiler! The music gets pretty annoying after a while.

I would be very disappointed, we need to just step up and make sure the line is fixed. Not only is this not a sure fire fix, it's also a short term band aid at best. There are much better options, I just hope they are still in play.

I agree the line needs a long term fix.

I guess I don't understand complaining about something that hasn't happened.

Not complaining... my original comments was basically that it was an OK but unimpressive signing. During the course of discussion of this comment I expanded on the offensive line issuE and discussing my concern for the possible implications given some of Grogson's prior decisions.

And even if I were complaining it wouldn'the be baseless. And a thread without any discussion about the possible future impact of the signing would basically just be a long thread talking about how great of move Grigson made, and those threads are always super interesting.

These forums would be pretty slow if we didn't discuss things that have not happened yet. By your logic why bother discussing the draft... I mean it hasn't happened yet; what's the point.

Well you people on here complain about every signing like the money is coming out of your pocket.

 

Take a deep breath.....

 

People complain about the money because any money badly spent (talking generically now)  is money that can't be spent elsewhere and the Colts have a lot of needs.

 

This is not about coming out of anyone's pocket.    It's about how it helps or hurts the team.

    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
