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.

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By smittywerb · Posted

      This contract makes me think about the other receivers who will now get contracts and how are the teams going to go about it:   Jamarr Chase:  he’s definitely getting $28million or more.  I don’t see Higgins staying unless there are numerous reworks and pay cuts from other teammates.  I’m sure Boyd and Burton will be their WR2 and WR3 in the future.  Bengals will definitely pick up his 5th year option, but what will happen in 2026?   CeeDee Lamb:  he’s getting paid also.  He’s gotten better every year and last year was a MONSTER year for him.  Let’s see what Jerry does.  He has Dak and Ceedee to pay and both are going to command some big contracts.     seems like aiyuk is the last one because I’m pretty sure anyone else will either have their 5th year option picked up or have gotten paid.   props to Ballard for getting Pittman paid before the top dogs like JJ set the market.

      Gotcha. Wentz was  one of the most talented qbs in the league based on physical traits. The Colts, in their assessment of Wentz, didn't realize they were not getting the same player mentally. I am not a Wentz apologist but I do,  and said it at the time, the Oline needed to take some responsibility in what he became. He was battered and bruised by the lack of protection and I think the beating he took in Philly and the early one he took with the Colts, knocked whatever was left of a starting qb in that body and mind. The point I am making is this. We can say he is our franchise LT and say he played really well and is deserved of a  big 2nd contract.  If one were just to look at it objectively.  Say fans and Colts media have him rated as a 7.5 and based on Cosell's comments he has him as a 5.0. Do you think Cosell could be so way off in his evaluation of Raimann? That is just what I found interesting. I mean I could say Cosell say that Raimann was say average and go okay, we can live with that. To say that he is not the answer and/or has not panned out is a different monster all together.
