Colts Best FA Signing(From Another Team) Ever?

[SteelDragon]

Lots of excitement here on the board over lots of cap space and some talented FAs available. Maybe, there's just too much hype!

To put things in perspective, name the best FA acquisition since the Colts have been in Indy.

[Coltsman1788]

Tony Siragusa. We had a pretty stout defensive line back then.

[Archer]

Errrr, Goose was originally a Colt (Rookie FA, I believe), and he was signed away from the Colts by the Ravens, if I recall...

[Dmitry Soldatov]

That do we wait where for strengthening?

[Caleb3502]

Adam Vinatieri is definitely top 5 on that list.

[Coltsfanman1953]

John Unitas.

[jimmy g]

In Baltimore, Unitas. In Indy, Jeff Saturday

Maybe Tony Dungee???

[lollygagger8]

Hank Baskett!!! 

 

[IndyD4U]

Hank Baskett!!! 

 

 

The only thing good about Hank Baskett was his wife.

Yep and I loved when my wife liked watching that show she was on with the other 2 bunnies...

You sure it was your wife that liked watching that show ? kidding..

 

I'd say Adam V. Made the difference in that 06' playoff run (5 FG's in Baltimore).

 

Corey Simon wasn't bad for the time he was healthy in 2005.

[CR91]

does trading count because its hard to argue vontae's impact. the only colts CB to ever make a pro bowl since they moved to indy

well a trade isn't a free agent. so im guessing no

[iLoveMyBoys]

Can't believe you guys forgot about Anthony "booger" McFarland definitely helped our super bowl run

[Mitch Connors]

Dickerson?

2000 yard season. And a few other really good season.

actually yes at first. She was the one who recorded it. Then showed me. Course my wife is wierd....she will literally buy playboys just to read the party jokes...

[jimmy g]

that was s trade, not FA. (Cornelius Bennet)

[Mitch Connors]

that was s trade, not FA.

True. Good call but....ED looking sweet in that picture, right?

[COLTS449]

LaRon Landry.

[jimmy g]

True. Good call but....ED looking sweet in that picture, right?

somewhere I have a tape of the Halloween MNF thrashing of Denver. No VCR to play it on. Chris Chandler at qb. ED might still be scoring!

[GoColts8818]

Adam Vinatieri is definitely top 5 on that list.

adam might very well be the best. The 95 team had some olinemen that they had gotten in free agency that helped them in a big way in lowdermlk and Wofford. Also Jim Harbaugh has to be near the top of this list but maybe the best was Jeff Saturday although he wasn't your normal free agent he had just spent a little time with the Ravens before they released him.

[csmopar]

I personally like the AV signing

[Slick_Rick]

Booger McFarland was a decent pickup.

[bavanlan]

Stokley at least makes the list.

[Dr. Guildo]

Booger McFarland was a decent pickup.

Booger was big, and even got a sack in the Super Bowl win. I think he came in when the season was already underway too.

[iLoveMyBoys]

I think we got McFarland thru a trade

[HarryTheCat]

I think we got McFarland thru a trade

Yup. Colts gave TB a 2nd round pick for him. Ya gotta love a guy named "Booger"!

[dgambill]

I haven't kept track of exactly how we got guys but as far as in Indy I would say definately bringing in Adam Vinateri and Jim Harbaugh would have to be two of the biggest values we have gotten. Tony Mandarich wasn't too bad for us for a couple years (considering what he overcame)...maybe Cornelius Bennett would be on that list too?

[Clem-Dog]

Probably Bratzke.

[achcolts]

yea prob AV. bill polian almost never got FAs from what i remember

[dw49]

Booger McFarland was a decent pickup.

 That was a trade also

[lollygagger8]

You know who else likes Booger(s).................

 

[Jim H.]

Did the Colts came back and win?

[lollygagger8]

Did the Colts came back and win?

 

After digging that hole, I believe they did. 

[crazycolt1]

Dickerson?

2000 yard season. And a few other really good season.

That was a trade, not a free agent.

[tikyle]

You sir (or ma'am) have won the internet for today!!

[crazycolt1]

Bradshaw when he is not injured.

[BOTT]

In Baltimore, Unitas. In Indy, Jeff Saturday

Maybe Tony Dungee???

Saturday didn't come from another team. He was out of football for a year and clocking in 9 to 5.

[BOTT]

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

Donnie Avery played quite well for us. Actually his best year as a pro.
