Lol. Well I believe Ballard alluded to the fact we weren't going to be a large player in the big splash signings. Don't be disappointed in what he already hinted to not being a part of. I'm sure he looked at all these guys, wanted several but set a limit. It's like being at an auction and thinking man, I want that item and the bidding starts out in a flurry and quiclkly surpasses what you want to pay for a used item. 

That makes sense. Like I said I didn't expect any big ones, just got a little excited for free agency is all. Always want so me news to cling on this time of year lol. I know the colts are going to do well.

Oh there is nothing wrong with excitement and hopes. I hope every year we go out and get 2-3 of those big name guys and make the drastic turn around of the defense only to be brought back to disappointment that we got the 35 y/o broken down player who 5 years ago was the hot name, even if it was a "good team price", it's still an older player and never has made a difference. 

 

I love this time as well. It's football, it's the start of the fresh build and makes me wonder how the heck we Americans value a guy making 25 mil/ year to play a friggin game while whining he isn't making enough to reward his talents. Makes you appreciate the Manning types and Brady's who make a crap load of money but don't hear any whine about being underpaid. I'd almost wish they would cap each position and lower season ticket prices for the everage guy again but I digress ...

Look at the money these guys are getting though.  No one ever wants to think that the money is going to be crazy.  People under value the contract value for FA and get upset when we do not make a lot of moves.  We need a good amount of help so going and signing a few guys for huge contracts is not smart cap wise.  Ballard said he would be very specific on guys he brings in and wants to build through the draft as well.  Again, this is something more like a 2 year build not an overnight change.

Jags def is going to be nasty. I think this team is only a solid QB and RB away. AFC south is going to keep getting more tough!

Well... that could be a good thing.  Our superbowl run came with a much tougher division than now.

They need a lot of help on the OL as well. You're right though. The division is quickly becoming very competitive.

Who in the right mind would sign with the Jags?.

AJ and Campbell so far.  They have a pretty solid D.  The right coaching can make that team scary.  Still some draft picks to fix some offensive issues.

Honestly looking at the numbers with these guys it makes me not want them. Not because they would be to expensive but because they arnt here to win. Just to get as much money as possible (don't blame them for that). We need people that want to win no matter what their pay is. We need a winning culture in the locker room not a rich one.

I'm actually more disappointed by this than I am Zeitler signing with Cleveland.  Still though there are some quality OGs still available.

Me too. I wasn't expecting us to make big moves in FA. But I thought we would atleast get 1 starter. Of course there's still a lot of time. Cough cough Brandon Williams...

That's the dumbest thing I've read on here in some time...

 

The players are the only reason football exists. The NFL and the teams make billions of dollars off these guys while paying them a minute portion of those profits. All the while retaining all the power in negotiations and capping the salary of rookies. 

 

And please stop talking about Brady and Manning like they played for free. They are probably the highest paid NFL players ever. Even now, Brady's contracts are structured in a way that benefits him. Get outta here

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
