I really like this signing.  He is not the missing piece but a key piece.

[CR91]

good. now lets shift the focus to some pot roast

[bananabucket]

thank the LAWD

[#12]

Rock on.

[MTC]

[COLTS449]

YES!!!!! Welcome to Nap Town Dre!!!!

[COLTS449]

Now we have to focus on Defense.

[JasonABrown]

Best news i've heard all day!

[dw49]

Nice. 

[JasonABrown]

Definitely time for some more work on the DEFENSE!

[MTC]

3 years $21 million

[CanuckColt]

Well, I hope he has a lot left in the tank and stays healthy.

[indy1888]

This is an excellent and important signing. Glad they got it done.

[Dustin]

3 year $21M. That is a steal. 

[Bluefire4]

I think that's it for free agency.. don't we have like 12 million left.

3 years $21 million

 

Makes up for that Langford signing. 

[ColtsBlueFL]

Been waiting all day for this.  Very good news.

[CanuckColt]

I wonder if we are bringing in any more 'Canes for the reunion.

[backshoulderfade]

Great deal!

[pgt_rob]

[jchandler7]

Yes!! Offense is pretty well stacked now lets get a couple decent DL and a Safety (in free agency or draft) and itll b the perfect off season!

[throwing BBZ]

I`m hoping for an Anquan Bolden + type of contributor. Adding a lot of reliability to the O.
Setting up our draft very nicely.
 Adding a Safety and /or another DT would really set us up. Very happy with the fits GM & Team.

[cbear]

He doesn't have to be the Andre of 10 years ago.  If he can be the Reggie Wayne of 3-4 years ago, I'd be happy.

[ColtsLegacy]

Colts app notification got me so excited, so happy not to be disappointed. Excellent deal, excellent signing, excellent player.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Yes!  This made my day!  Welcome Dre!

[ColtsBlueFL]

I think that's it for free agency.. don't we have like 12 million left.

 

Depends on how the deals are structured on the cap hits.  We have a few folks around here that likely follow the deals and can quickly deduce our cap situation.  I'm not sure how many million we need to keep back for draft class and in season injury signings as well, so that plays into it also.

[Dudley Smith]

Really like the signing. Will feel strange seeing him in a Colts uniform after seeing him on the Texan's for so long. He definitely makes us better and should take pressure off of TY. Add in Moncrief and Carter and that looks like a great receiving corp. on paper.

[antipatriot]

I like the signing I would like to see the guaranteed money on this one.  I would suggest it might be a 2yr deal wrapped in 3yr clothing.  Either way I think it will be good for us, now lets concentrate on the defense and offensive line.  I would still like to see pot roast.

[mattceinicram]

I am so freakin relieved and excited now. If we find a way to land Fairley or Knighton, than Grigson officially won FA

[PrincetonTiger]

I think that's it for free agency.. don't we have like 12 million left.

It will go back up after the TR release

[PrincetonTiger]

Great Signing

[Barry Sears]

Who needs defense when we have an offense that can score 40+ a game???  J/K

 

This is excellent!!!

[csmopar]

BOOOOOMMMMMMMM BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was lower than I thought. I was guessing 8 to 11 per year

[jvan1973]

I think that's it for free agency.. don't we have like 12 million left.

I'm sure it's quite a bit more than that

[chad72]

Now, let's go after Wilfork hard.

[Indyfan4life]

Reading comments on Twitter from all these Patriot "fans" is hilarious.

[JlynRN]

Wow great signing !!!  So glad they finally got it done.  Welcome to Colts Nation Dre !!!

[rockywoj]

The reported 3 year / $21M is less than the 3 year $24M (with $16M guaranteed) that I thought it would take.  If he can perform like Reggie did for his last three years (not including the injuries part - and preferably like RW's 2012 - which I think was his best year in his career), then I like this signing.

 

I can recall a lot of people over the years wishing he were on the Colts instead of the Texans, convinced that he was a top 3 receiver in the league.  Hopefully now that he IS a Colt, that talent translates.

 

This is looking to be the biggest FA year for the Colts, EVER!
