Colts sign CB Patrick Robinson

[COLTS449]

LOL I'd bet money its 3/15. Didn't Dallas offer 3/13?

[RealityIsLuck]

If it's more than Casey Hayward I'll be skeptical, but I do like Robinson as a player, just Hayward is clearly better, and should be paid like it. What a steal by SD.

the only RB going in the first is elliot and hes not getting past the lions

Their new GM isn't that dumb

[BlueCollarColts]

I bet he signs a similar deal to Hayward, 3/15, maybe 3/14.

No, it's just Detroit in general....motor city is now broke city

[IndyD4U]

He is definitely an upgrade over Toler and he can play the slot too. Some say he's better there. He brings versatility and could be a huge asset.

3 years around 12 million according to Ian Rappaport. Great.

[DougDew]

Now we start the draft season with a CB who can clearly play the #2 CB spot.  Cole and Mathis are secured, Art Jones is returning.  Looks like the next biggest needs are ILB and C, IMO, and the Colts have met with ILB C Reggie Ragland and C Ryan Kelly, both of whom would not be a reach at #18 according to most websites.

 

I'd prefer NT Billings at 18 and hope Kelly falls to us in the second.

Better for his scheme,  but we have Robinson old coach so who knows if Hayward would be better in this particular scheme

Ryan Kelly would most definitely be a reach. Most Centres in the first are. If we take Kelly 1st round I hope to god we trade back and pick up another 3rd or 4th

I like these signings in FA not breaking the bank and getting a good starter .

Which is why I said I hope he falls to us in the second.  Websites are ranking him in the mid to late first.

Really happy with this signing considering the contract. Allows the staff to really focus on the best players come draft day.   

[Dan Smith]

per B/R 3 yrs, 12 mil

[CamMo]

We may have Chuck to thank as well. Had Robinson sold on being a Colt half way through lunch. 

[NewColtsFan]

 

Today is a good day for the Colts.....

 

Hopefully we'll be saying that for the next 3-years....

 

[VaAllDay757]

I just saw on nfl.com it was 3 years for 14 million

[MTC]

He's not a great corner, but for $4 million a year, it's a solid deal.

Sounds like it is less than what the Cowboys offered.  Probably has more guaranteed money.  I'm okay with a higher portion of guaranteed money if that's the case.  The kid is going to play a lot the next three years anyway,  maybe even in the slot depending on how the other CBs develop

strange. rapoport says 3/12 and nfl.com says 3/14.  which one is correct?

[BlueCollarColts]

NFL.Com does list it as a 3 year 14 million dollar deal, so not sure which is correct.

I don't know but they said it was 6 million guaranteed on nfl.com

it's possible with incentives it goes up to 14 since rapoport did say more than 12

Even the contract is great. Grigson bashers probably mad that they can't complain about this signing.

Wow much lower than I thought. I figured with everyone getting over paid this year, and Dallas wanting him as well as the Rams, that we'd pay closer to 7 mil per year. Steal of a deal here

I think most of the over spending was done early in free agency. Seems like it fell in line after the first tier was signed. Casey Hayward signed for 5 mill per year , so I think 4 mill here was about right ?

Actually I'm one who thinks Grigson should be fired

 

 

However, 

 

I'm thrilled he finally signed someone, and got a starter for a heck of a deal

 

So koodos to Grigs and Co on this one

If you look at Rappaports post,  it says MORE THAN 12 Mill.   

 

So,  odds are the $14 Mill figure is correct.

How are you OK with our pass rush? I just don't get how you can be good with Cole and Mathis. I mean I love Mathis, and I think he might have another double digit sack season or 2 left in him. I definitely think he'll be even better than last year, but with his age we cant bet on that. As for Cole.....He's just awful. He had what? 2 sacks last year? Then we have Walden. Who is just Walden. He does his job stopping the run and setting a good edge against the run. He's not going to put up no 10-12 sacks. To put it simply. We absolutely have to have another pass rusher. We have to add one early in the draft, and said pass rusher needs to make an impact immediately in order for us to be true SB contenders IMO.
