To the bolded, it can definitely matter who signs someone first if both GMs are interested in the player. The issue is, the public usually doesn't know if a team that doesn't sign a player was interested in him because the GM isn't going to publicly admit he "missed" on a player. However, it happens a lot more than people think.
We see it as Adams didn't want to play here or some other reason, but it could have been Ballard didn't offer enough. That's been a pattern for a long time now that's repeated itself and Ballard has admitted that he places a price on a player and won't go over that. So a big possibility is Ballard is just cheap and players are signing with other teams for more money.
The only one I really want is Simmons and he likely doesn't want to go through a camp as he doesn't have to. It allows the team to have a better feel what they have. If the staff is concerned and he's available then I think it's an option
Maybe at a pro level but I’m guessing they battle the same issues. When you lose weight it’s never just all muscle or all fat. The three years I played I would lose at least 10lbs through the season. Wasn’t able to lift like I did in the offseason bc something always hurt. Nearly half of the weeks were mostly stretching and cardio trying to let the body heal.
Im not expecting anything from the Colts ant least in the short term. Assuming the Colts are even interested in either Simmons or Diggs I think those guys will wait for camp and an inevitable injury. That will motivate teams to up their offer. And that would — in theory — include the Colts. I’m not expecting anything from the Colts until Aug 1 at the earliest.
I’d like a signing, so I hope I’m wrong and a quality signing happens sooner than later.
