2 guys Colts need to sign NOW...

[Indeee]

1) Casey Hayward CB

 

2) Tony Jefferson S ( Cards have him tender at 1.2 Mil currently )... Surely we can afford that

 

if these 2 players are signed our secondary is taken care of completely

[jchandler7]

Would be nice but doubt t will happen since Grigson appears to be in hybernation untill the draft.

[Bluefire4]

I honestly don't think we sign anybody until it doesn't hurt our compensatory picks next year. I think last year it was late April or early May that free agents could be signed without affecting compensatory picks in next year's draft.

[CR91]

its still early

[BlueCollarColts]

I'd be all over Hayward, I am fine with Adams/Geathers at safety.

No thanks to Heyeard He's going to get about 8m a year and the back end won't be solid until he's in the slot Tbe position he is best at.  Il think he can hold down the outside but ideally he's in the slot.

 

We need to sign a vet to a one year deal. You know Cromarte is dying for a 1 yr deal after he stunk it up last year. His age is a problem but I could see him pouncing back.   A guy like Gay. would do. The highest I'd go up the food chain is Powers. I just wouldn't pay what CB' are getting on the open market.

 

Sign the vet draft our outside guy. Next year we have Smith in the slot the rookie across from Davis 

[GoColts00]

Hayward is good , but I think D'Joun Smith takes the spot left by Toler. Smith ran a 4.37 40-yard dash and he's a good tackler. He needs to be on the field.

 

Geathers will take Lowery's spot.

[Pat Beach 81]

Hayward is a slot corner, not an outside guy. I'm anxious to see what geathers can do. There's a need for safety depth, but I don't think we need to sign someone that's already tendered.  Wouldn't that cost us a draft pick?

Even if that happens I think someone will be brought in to compete

[COLTS449]

No.

 

Casey Hayward

Junior Galette

Casey Hayward is looking for for too much money, GB almost always holds on too their own guys they drafted so if they are not paying him then thats got to mean something, im willing to bet Grigson doesnt sign anybody 

[Boiler_Colt]

If guys are unsigned as of now it means the market for them isn't as hot as they think it is. Hayward will probably get less than you think he will. We'll sign somebody, just perhaps not anyone major.

Smith should start and keep butler on the inside  and just get depth

Jefferson has a low tender. The Cards have the right to match whatever offer he receives, but if they don't, there's no compensation for them. 

[21isSuperman]

I certainly wouldn't mind Jefferson.  I did some brief reading up on him and he apparently played pretty well last year.

And you project smith as a starter based on the stellar rookie season he had?

Honestly don't care for his rookie season he was hurt from the start id rather him be thrown into the fire and LEARN unlike how we had an experienced vet who seemed to play like its his first game every week. We drafted him early to play he has the intensity to want to be great if give him a chance and keep butler in the slot since WE KNOW butler can't handle the outside

He signed for a little more than 5mil/year... So how is asking for too much money??

I would love for us to pick up a few players for at least depth but it appears that Grigson was not lying about doing little to nothing this year.  Not a bad plan either IMO because when healthy and with the new D and Offense we have some players that could pan out.  I think the draft will be vital but we should add another 3 solid players starting immediately hopefully.  Grab a CB and a Rush LB.  Add a C plus some d/o-line depth.

it was originally reported he was looking for 8, obviously nobody would pay that, and to elaborate on what i sayd, if GB didnt keep their own guy for 5 mil a year than obviously something is up cause they keep the guys they drafted almost all the time, im happy we didnt sign him
