Colts signing Kendall Langford

[COLTS449]

Stupid move now that I've seen the details. I guess this means he's starting, and that we want to be mediocre. I'd obviously rather have Redding at 2/6 than Langford at 4/17. If we don't get Knighton we fail in free agency.  We need to sign Knighton then draft D-Line in the 1st. And just because Grigson is the GM doesn't make him right all the time. I mean some people think every move he makes is genius.

So 12M tied up next year betCole/Langford...

Grigs c'mon man....

[Colts_Fan12]

Love the hate Fairley gets he is 20 times more talented then Langford and is younger but everyone is happy to have Langford over Fairley haha ok

Langford-Chapman-Jones

 

Man opposing QBs better watch out! /s

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Well that went predictably.

[TYtheMan13]

B.J Raji anyone? could be a ok rotational player.. but if he could regain his past form, he could be very solid for us.

[Dustin]

Well that went predictably.

 

Opposing QBs won't know what hit them.....

 

 

.....because nothing ever will.

Like I said man. Some people just blindly follow. They think every move Grigs makes is genius.

[COLTS449]

Look. I'm not "that guy" but seriously. If we do go into the season with Chapman and Langford starting, Grigs needs to be fired. I'm still going to have faith that he'll bring in Knighton. Its pretty simple really. Sign Knighton and have a solid D-Line, or not sign him and have a mediocre D-Line.

I get what your saying, but alot of people on here don't seem to factor in the fact that these free agents (quite often for the first time in there careers) have a choice as to where to go/what scheme they want to be in, ect.  This is also still the first 24 hours of free agency, we shouldn't expect a complete team at this point, IMO

[theanarchist]

Lets at least let the guy get on the field and then we can tear him apart from there.... he hasn't played a down here yet.

[BlueCollarColts]

There's nothing to doubt. It's objectively true.

To Langford in a 3-4 scheme? No it's not.

[Dustin]

To Langford in a 3-4 scheme? No it's not.

 

Yes it is. Paea's last season was better than any season Langford has ever had. 

 

But I didn't want Paea either, so don't get it confused. 

[Dustin]

Now we wait for Johnson to sign with the Seahawks and Grigson sign Bowe to a 2 year $10M contract and use a first round pick on Landon Collins. 

[COLTS449]

We all know Langford's best suited for a 3-4. That doesn't mean he's going to be a pro bowler or anything. He was overpaid, and he should be a good backup and nothing more if we want to be a great team.

oh god Dustin please don't put that into my head!!

[TYtheMan13]

Don't get your hopes up about Knighton, he's visiting the Redskins today and probably wont leave without a deal (I still have hope that he'll leave and come visit Colts at least, lol)..so just prepare yourselves.

[Bluefire4]

They have to be worried about scheme.

[BlueCollarColts]

I don't think people realize the last time Langford was in a 3-4 scheme he was a GOOD player. Better than Redding and RJF. He is an upgrade to anything we have, and he isn't overpaid imo, its about what I expected.

He was an above average pass rusher 4 years ago playing on the line with two other all-pro caliber lineman.

Well then he's RJF at 500K less a year.

[backshoulderfade]

Above average is better than average or below average though

[BlueCollarColts]

He was a good player. Spin it whatever way you want to, he was good.

The commitment to the trenches continues........

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Yes, so a bad signing. And overpaid. If we're going by your definition of him.

[austriancolt]

I hope the Colts sign Knighton or draft another Defensive Lineman with one of our first picks in the draft. I doub't that Langford is the answer to our heavy Defensive Line problems! 

[corgi]

RJF was overpaid but not a bad signing. Langford is cheaper and an upgrade in my opinion. Upgrade and cheaper, that's my definition since you were struggling.

He is a step in the right direction

Kendall Langford's deal with #Colts is 4 years, $17.2 million. He gets $5M in first year.

ffs

Are you kidding me

[jimmy g]

The last time Langford was a productive pass rusher, he was in a 3-4 in Miami. This is a good fit, and he knows it. He says it was one of the deciding factors for him, and partly why he chose us over Detroit.

I'm a truck driver- just loaded in Denver. People there are upset, they believed they would get Langford. I asked who the Broncos signed. They said: no one- Indy's taking them all!

@CharlyArnolt: NEW INFO: Per source, #Colts signed DT Kendall Langford to a 4-year deal worth $17.2 million, $2.5 million is guaranteed.

Only 2.5 million is guaranteed makes me feel a lot better

I wasn't worried about getting out of it, just that your giving a mediocre player $5M in a year you're supposed to be going "all in" on winning a title.

What's the beef with Chapman?

[arkana04]

Poor deal for an average player 

 

shouldnt be starting but probably will.

I was just going by what you wrote in your other post. Stop being a flipper flopper

Exactly. There comes a point when being smart with your guaranteed money doesn't look genius when you consider that his cap hit will still prevent us from signing other/better players.

I'm not, stop trying and failing to put words in my mouth.
