coltsblue1844 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Moving to the draft section of the forum.why did you move a post about an NFL free agent to the NFL Draft section? Its not about a college player or one who is going to be in the draft, its about an already established NFL player who just happens to be a free agent!

Coltssouth Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Because it is an undrafed free agent which is not a Colts player?Therefore it belongs in the draft section and not Colts football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltssouth Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't know. Whatever you guys think is best.

If you only allow threads in that section that deal with current players, then we can no longer talk there about Mathis, Wayne etc...Im not trying to be rude about this, and hope you do not take it that way...but lots of people who would normally talk about this, wont find it if its in the draft or general sections...thus, i honestly think that these topics are fine in the colts football section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakai432 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I would like the Colts to get Mark Barron (if he goes in the second round) but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I have a feeling someone will take him towards the end of the first.I agree, he would be an immediate upgrade...but i also doubt he falls to our 2nd round pick. While i know that most mock drafts end up being way off, most of them now have Barron going to either Dallas or New England in the first round...the Pats have 2 first round picks and need secondary help also...but if he falls, he would be our starter from day one!

fvantagio Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 what do you guys think of trying to get landry? he will be a FA and hes imo will make a great tandem with bethea. hes fast and we all know can hit and with landry bethea doesnt have to play near the line anymore and can play center field. thoughtsHe should be a low risk high reward type. He has missed most of the last 2 seasons with injuries so that should cut his pay check down substantially. If we can get him in a similar way we got sims, anderson and comp. it would be an excellent pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21isSuperman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Let's bring this train back on track. I would love having Landry here. He is a big, strong, fast dude who can definitely play ball. I'm not sure how he has held up healthwise in the past, but if he has managed to remain relatively healthy, I would love it if we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwinnettColt Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Another good safety is a huge need, obviously along with DT.I'd go for Landry or another good one to help Bethea. Bethea is probably the most underrated players that we have and needs a complement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk4 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'd love to have him, but I am a bit worried about him health wise...He is a very good safety, but he has hasn't played many games the past 2 seasons. This season and last season he played a total of 17 games..Not a good sign, but I think he can easily put that behind him. He can definitely hold up for a full 16 games, but I believe he's just run into bad luck the past two seasons when it comes to health. Would be awesome if we could snag him.

21isSuperman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 A good SS makes this defense click. When we had a healthy Bob, the defense was among the league's best. When Bullitt was healthy, the defense was pretty good. This defense needs a good SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsblue1844 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 as far as what he can do on the field, i would love to have him...but he has definitely struggled to stay healthy....with that said, that COULD potentially make it easier to sign him to a short term deal so he can prove himself, as so many free agents seemed to do this past off season...and then after next season, the salary cap is supposed to go way up, due to the new tv contracts with the nfl...so if he stays healthy n productive, he could THEN sign a longer/pricier contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first 3 years he played in all but 1 game. Last 2 years he's played in about half of them. It's not great, but it's better than Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Depending on our defensive scheme, I would be open to bringing him in.

I don't need it.This thread has definately gone off topic.Good (non) move to leave it here. If you start moving all the "Let's get..." threads you won't have time to do anything else. Landry is a good player, but until the Manning decision, no one (including our new GM) is going to be able to assess the roster. We have a bunch of our own players, Mathis, Pierre, even Reggie, etc. that need consideration first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsman1788 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Typically Colts haven't made this kind of free agent addition, but with the recent upheaval of the front office...who knows maybe they will reconsider their approach to free agency a little. If so...this is the type of player that I hope they would consider. He fills a position of need and like Peyton Girl pointed out plays similar to Bob Sanders. Also this would free up one of our draft picks to go towards one of our many other positions of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize that an undrafted free agent could not be drafted.Rack it up to a lack of knowledge about the way the game is constructed. Learn something new each day. and my guy has been very patient with my "duh" moments.Getting there though and I really do appreciate the imput.

Peytongirl Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Everyone, lay off CS. 21 has already said that enough is enough. Anyone can make a mistake and I don't think you guys realize the massive job the mods have had this season - the last week in particular. If one of us makes a mistake by moving a thread or getting the various free agents mixed up, give us a break...okay? Is that too much to ask?There are restricted FAs, unrestricted FAs, draft picks, undrafted FAs...not everyone keeps up with who is who.CS was trying to do the right thing and lately MOST of the "let's get so & so" threads have been about college draft choices. Not everyone knows the Redskins' rosters since we (Colts) don't play them often and Landry hasn't played for any other team yet.Actually, this thread belongs in the NFL General section because he is NOT a Colts player and as far as we know he has even been looked at by the Colts. So he has nothing to do with the Colts. But since this has been made a discussion, we can leave it here for now...but it needs to go back to Landry and our defensive prospects.Any future FA threads (players released from other teams) will be moved to NFL General unless they have been interviewed/worked out by the Colts as a viable future player.Thanks for your cooperation.

There are so many terms in nfl I can understand how u could easily get them mixed up. I think you took my post a little to seriously but understandable with all the stuff going on lately. He would be a great addition to the colts secondary. I hope the new gm has the desire to dip into free agency a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
