[Mr.Debonair]

I don't see anything new in that article that hasn't already been posted on here

[Wesk7]

It doesn't say he has interest in anyone in that article. It just names places he could land. Very misleading thread.

I messed the title up. Fixed it.

[Wesk7]

I hope we still have interest. If we can sign him then we can go into the draft with only a few holes to plug and be in a very good position to grab talent regardless of need.

[PeterBowman]

until he signs somewhere I'm sure there will be interest....maybe the Colts are just waiting for his market to dip a little

can't wait too long but yea, perhaps he'll come down from the clouds (as far as what he is expecting now).  Little too steep a climb for our cap space health.

[CanuckColt]

Knighton is off to visit the Skins...looking for big money...$8M per year.

Ravens, Seahawks, Patriots are interested but won't pay that much.

[CR91]

he visited the redskins yesterday and now the patriots and chargers are in the hunt

10m say over two years is good

[UKColt13]

Damn.

 

Not looking good for our chances...

[weslo1812]

I think its becoming pretty appearent that we will be adressing our remaining DL needs through the draft. It doesn't seem like Knighton or Fairley really even have an interest in us. And I think both are wanting too much. ItS looking very slim to me that we land either.

[Godeepreggie]

Rotoworld says Washington is scared to sign him because he is out of shape

[backshoulderfade]

Interesting.

[PeterBowman]

and the plot thickens

[HtownColt]

@NBCdianna: A head coach texted me in regards to Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton.

"Teams afraid to sign him because he's out of shape"

So, there's that.

[COLTS449]

Good. That may help us a little.

[Godeepreggie]

That has been the knock on him all along but he was wanting 8 million a year I would say that thought is over

[PeterBowman]

he's only hurting himself by this

[backshoulderfade]

Good. That may help us a little.

We could be one of the teams who passed.

[Godeepreggie]

Chicago and Raiders have already passed

[PrincetonTiger]

This could be a good sign for us

[bavanlan]

This could be a good sign for us

Or a warning sign.

[PeterBowman]

Or a warning sign.

which is a good sign too

[krunk]

It's believable, but it could also be aimed at getting him to reduce his asking price.

[Godeepreggie]

If we could sign him at 5.5 million a year then I believe that's a good signing anything north of 6 is probably not

[backshoulderfade]

If he usually plays 40% of snaps and is now considered out of shape what use is he.

[PrincetonTiger]

If we could sign him at 5.5 million a year then I believe that's a good signing anything north of 6 is probably not

With these "rumors" going around 5.5 would be at the top

[COLTS449]

Bringing in Fairley should be looked into more too, and I thought we were the highest bidder for him? what happened to that?

[oldunclemark]

My man 'Roast' may be toast..

....He's going to have to go back to Oakland or Denver and lowerhis price.....

[Colts_Fan12]

Bringing in Fairley should be looked into more too, and I thought we were the highest bidder for him? what happened to that?

I think it was a false rumor don't think we were interested I still hope tho

[krunk]

I think he wants a 4-3 team.  Every team he has made a visit to has been a 4-3 squad.

Last report was he was taking a visit to St. Louis.  I wouldn't be shocked if he signed there.

[dw49]

Or a warning sign.

 

 

You have reservations just because the guy is eating himself out of the league during his free agent year ?

I wouldn't think he'd want to sign there since they already have Donald and Brockers. He'd at the very least have to compete with Brockers for a starting job, but may just split time with him. Either way he wouldn't get as many snaps there as he would somewhere else.

I don't know what information he is operating on.  I'm just looking at the fact of him coming from a 4-3 squad

and all of his visits so far have been towards 4-3 teams.  You would think a team like Indy who has put in very

nice bids for his services he would be on a B line to make a visit here. His strategy has been quite the opposite.

I could be wrong, but I am assuming he has a preferred scheme he wants to be in.

[CanuckColt]

With these "rumors" going around 5.5 would be at the top

He already turned down $6M per year from the Raiders.

 

I think we should just leave the blimp alone...he has always had a problem keeping his weight down...once he gets a nice FAT contract he may go out of control.

[SDakColts]

"@smitty46953: Any rumors on more moves by the Colts?"» Terrence Knighton's in play. But he's on a visit to Washington now.

Yes but not any of his favourite restaurants.

[CanuckColt]

Yes but not any of his favourite restaurants.

Yeah, all the restaurants in Indy are cheering for us to sign him.

[PeterBowman]

Yeah, all the restaurants in Indy are cheering for us to sign him.

the restaurants in ANY nfl city is cheering for him to be signed there
