Thoughts on Junior Galette

[COLTS449]

What's everyone's opinion on signing him? I know he's had some issues, but the simple fact is, we need a dominant pass rusher. He wants a 1 year prove it deal around 7-9 million. I think he would be a major addition and I think we should go after him and bring him to Indy.

Well his attitude is complete garbage, he considers 10m/ year "slave money" (means we'd get him for his one year and that's it) and he's coming off a huge injury. 

The real question is, how could this in any way be a good idea?

Clubhouse cancer.

 

Good player --- very, very bad guy.

I am sure he is not considered a "horseshoe guy." Good player, but terrible member of the locker room.

I mean he'd have to have all the ignorant stuff behind him. I think he could come in and act right knowing he'd be playing for a major deal. Its not every offseason you can get a double digit sack EDGE rusher for 7-9 million per year. I think our pass rush is such a dire need we have to look at guys like Galette.

He doesn't have that behind him though. Like a month ago he went on a big rant Flaming the saints organization again. And he won't play for more then one year at 7-9 million. He was just quoted saying that his 10m/ year contract with the saints was "slave money".  He was also suspended last year for two games. It's all recent. And also he just fired his agent for telling him he should take an incentive based contract from the redskins, so the incentive based contract can't be done. He wants tons of guaranteed money and for all the red flags it's just not worth it.

I mean, you really can't predict a guys attitude, can you? Everyone is different, and as cliched as it may sound, it's true. So he may realize he needs to get it together, or he'll just continue acting like a fool. We'll never know (at least now).
