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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

    • The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.    
    • So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.  
    • Uuuugh.     I think it would’ve been better if I had preached a healthy dose of patience and NOT patients.        
    • Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.     
    • And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know.
