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.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      Does a reporter bear any responsibility about what he includes in his pieces? Sourced or not? Is everything a source tell you printable? Is everything worth printing? BTW I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I just wonder if there are any ethical considerations a reporter might have when reporting on this type of touchy subject, especially when some of those anonymous scouts might have vested interest in a player getting drafted higher or lower than currently projected?

      Again….   McGinn didn’t do the damage to Mitchell.  The scouts did.     And there are columnists like McGinn at every major paper.  Their job is to gather info and report it, whether it’s popular or not.    Let me turn this around.  Hypothetically, a few years from now if Mitchell doesn’t pan out and he’s moody and difficult to deal with and he’s a bust, then the scouts will have been proven correct.  And people here will say McGinn’s column was spot on.   Another person who should’ve handled his business better is Mitchell himself.  He’s been living with this since he was roughly 16.   And scouts said he interviewed badly with them.   Even Mitchell admits it.     I don’t think this is as black and white as it seems to you.      To be clear…. I love Mitchell.  Glad we drafted him.  I’ve said several times that Ballard defending him draft night was smart and scored points with the kid.  Now he comes out and says that exact thing.  He appreciates that Ballard defended him so hard and he wants to pay the Colts and Ballard back by being the best player he can be.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      I’d say those teams that lost had worse defenses compared to the winners. That’s not to say that their defenses were bad, they just weren’t as clutch in the big moment.    To me, defense matters a whole lot when you need a stop or a momentum change.    Look at all of the star studded power offense teams of the last decade who were incapable of winning it all.

      Early look and deep dive into 2025 NFL Draft Class and Prospects

      Oops that’s my mistake. Yeah I completely missed that. My apologies.   But yeah he’s one I would keep an eye on for us next year. Him and Will Johnson. It’s a little early to be talking about what the Colts would do in the draft, but I would put money on this being the year Ballard takes a DB high. I could also see him go D-Line again. I love college football and watch as much of it as I can, but I’ll be paying attention to a lot of the guys you listed at those positions. Last season I watched a lot of the teams that had the elite receivers (Washington, Texas, LSU, FSU, etc…).   I’m also getting ready to fire my draft podcasts I listen to back up and look at summer scouting. I’ll come back for some discussions as I get info as I always enjoy talking prospects with you.

      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.
