Agree. That's silly money for a guy who had what? 8.5 sacks last year.

[bababooey]

we are just going to overpay for lesser tier players again like Landry and RJF

[Bluefire4]

He was behind dumervil and Suggs and still got more sacks than anyone on our team. Good deal for the Bears.

[Dustin]

Yeah, i though he would get more. Very good, very versatile guy.

don't say that lol. There is fairley and other players too. Sadly all the impacts are going

[theanarchist]

40 million, 8 million a year. Maybe he'll turn out to be a 12-15 sack a year guy and be somewhere near worth that kind of money.

[bababooey]

Suh is gone so I would imagine Fairley goes back to Detroit unless we *shocker* overpay him to join us.

[Bluefire4]

He will be.

[oldunclemark]

That's a lot for a team that already has a lot of money on the D-line

[oldunclemark]

They have much bigger needs a LB and safety..

This is surprising money..but they do have a lot to spend

McPhee is more of a linebacker than D lineman.

[Jason_]

I never thought he'd wind up being a Colt anyway. 

[NewColtsFan]

Who are our remaining EDGE rush options?

[Dustin]

Who are our remaining EDGE rush options?

Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Greg Hardy, Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan.

[krunk]

I'm telling you, watch we'll go and sign Brian Orakpo.

[IndyD4U]

We're getting Hardy. I'll bet my Richardson jersey on it. 

 

Cole too

[NewColtsFan]

Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Greg Hardy, Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan.

 

Thanks.

 

Out of that group,  do you have a preference?    And a 2nd choice?

 

Do you want to rank them?

[Dustin]

Thanks.

[Indeee]

I'm telling you, watch we'll go and sign Brian Orakpo.

If we sign Orakpo I will seriously demand my money back.. Ha!! Orakpo is horrible. I live in DC area and I have seen this guy play a lot since coming outta Texas. He is a bum. It should tell you all when a team like the skins, who have horrible defenses year in and year out and aren't willing to honestly keep the guy locked up, that he's horrible. Nuff said.. Say NO to OrakPO

[Dustin]

Taking age + contract into consideration

1. Hardy

2. Graham

3. Cole

4. Morgan

5. Orakpo

I'm not blowing the horn for him, but I think horrible is a bit of a stretch unless you are talking about injuries which is my point of concern with him.  3 torn pecs is concerning to me.

8 mil a year? you can have him chicago

^ this

[krunk]

Maybe we'll sign Hardy, but I'm real scared of that one if he gets in another Domestic Violence situation.

I'll assume we'd lose him for at least 6 games with the new rules.

[BPindy]

Even if Hardy is gone for part of the year, he'd be around for the playoff push

The NFL needs to do something about this. Free agency has not even began and most of the better FAs are gone. Meanwhile the Colts are just in the corner as everyone is just signing with other teams ( in general, I didn't want McPhee).

do something about what?  The Colts have had just as much opportunity to reach out to FA's as every other team.

It's just frustrating how FAs are already signing deals and free agency hasn't even started yet.

well that might be your problem...FAs are not already signing deals.  They're agreeing to deals that will be signed and finalized after 4pm tomorrow.   That was the entire purpose of the "legal tampering" period. 

 

Would you still be frustrated if you'd read the headline:  "McCourty to Colts on five-year, $47.5M contract" (<---NOT A REAL HEADLINE!)

[Colts_Fan12]

Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Greg Hardy, Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan.

I'm hoping we can get Orakpo I don't think he will demand alot of money cause of injury history

[NBColtsFanatic]

it probably is

[DougDew]

We already have our own DE/OLB tweener in Werner.  We don't need another, especially at $8Mil per year.

 

And to the larger topic of FA signings (or agreeings), there isn't one, ONE, that I've read that I wish the Colts had signed (agreed). All have been WAY too expensive.

 

I want Searcy, Langford, and possibly Johnson and Boling.  No to Fairley.

[HtownColt]

Get ya money while you can.

Salary cap goes up, contracts go up

[backshoulderfade]

We're getting Hardy. I'll bet my Richardson jersey on it.

Cole too

That's not much ofna stake
