Do you happen to have a source? If so then yeah Dockett might be a good one to consider. I guess we will have to see who else ends up getting released.

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported Jones is likely out for the season following ankle surgery.

Do the colts bring him back for his 3rd year?

 

Yes.....

 

He gets another chance.    It's a 5-year deal.    Eating 3 years of financial hits is difficult.

 

We may ask him to re-do his deal and perhaps take a smaller base salary with incentives/bonuses for games played.

 

We'll see.     But in the Big Picture,  I think we want him back.

To early to say, That depends on who is available to replace him and how his current replacement performs in Jones absence. With that said I don't think there is any way we would be getting a player who is anywhere close to what he was prior to having these injuries

It sounds like there's still an off chance he comes back later in the season. But if as they say is more likely, Jones is out for the year... I'm not sure we can really replace what he'd bring to the team. He's not quite what I'd call "elite" at his position, but he's not "just another guy" either. He also has veteran experience. I assume this means we'll be seeing more of those 2 rookies out there - both had quite promising preseasons on the bright side.

Honestly i feel we should role with what we got. We have a lot of youth up front on the d-line and in years past youth is what gets it done. There are always exceptions but for the most part DTs in a 4-3 and DE/DT/NT in a 3-4 don't produce much beyond year 5,6,7. It's Inevitable because its a very rigorous position. Its not always about experience, but its who wants it most and who has the physical tools to get it done and ill take youth all day. Perry and Anderson will show all of us that in weeks to come.

Art Jones being healthy was the reason the Colts didn't go out and sign big FA or draft a DT in early rds.

This frustrates me more than anything. The fact he relied on Jones to be healthy after having a lost season last year being the reason why we don't have a Wilfork, Knighton, Fairley, or a Malcolm Brown. How can you rely on a big guy w bad ankles to be completely fine the next season?

Define 'bad ankles.' 

 

Then go watch the play on which Jones got injured.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
