They play beast mode just to get a megadeal offer next offseason. + the inevitable salary cap rise will tack on a couple extra million to the player's contract. Any under-performer should sign a one year deal if they want the best potential money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomDiggs Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hey guys. Newly signed up to the board but been lurking here for years. I wouldn't stress too much about this. As much as I (and most of us) wanted Poe, the writing was on the wall the moment we all learned that he left without a contract and was mainly looking at 1 year deals. We knew we did not want a one year deal. So unless our long term deal pushed into B.Williams territory, we had to know we were going to be on the short end of the stick here. I am fine w him going elsewhere if he is only looking for a year. I personally do not want a guy who comes here for a year to build themselves up only to leave or hold us hostage a year later. Maybe it is better off that we don't pay big money on a run stopper when we can pay considerably less for a guy like Jenkins. I'd love Hankins too, but if he wants a big long term deal he is probably not in the cards either. Unless he will accept a multi-year deal in the 6-8 mill per range. Anyhow, glad to finally be on board here to go back and forth w other Colts die-hards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsArmy84 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Lets remember that our defense will be better then last years. Weve already infused younger guys into the lineup and we still have 7 picks in the frist 5 rounds of the draft which will be all defense +1 RB. With a little bit better play last year we would of won 3-4 more games so as of right now theres no need to panick what so ever. We will still be signing a couple guys in free agency. Hopefully Hankins and Brown, then re-sign Butler and were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market is drying / dried up. for most everyone else here on out. Other teams told him what they would pay. Now GM's aren't burning those phones up to FA's anymore. Trust me, they're now on to scheduling pro days and fine tuning the draft board. If someone (any FA) wants to ring back to a team they've already left and accept a previous offer, they may get it. Or, it might be off the table now. Who knows? But a wrangling session of concessions to find middle ground is so highly unlikely now, and the lack of any team meeting the players expectations diminished his leverage at this point. It is the way it is. Has Hankins been in and received an offer from us yet? If not, and he comes in, it won't be as high as he wants. No leverage, no pressure. we'll see. Of course we have Monday morning GM's that would pay the man top dollar over other teams and maybe even players agents asking price just to secure him and get him in here and hang the 'trophy FA' up for everyone else to see. Real GM's in the NFL don't seem to want to play that at this point. Good luck Mr. Hankins on getting your long term >10 mil / yr deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, (and I make no promises of that) I thought Superman had a post about a 1-year deal for Poe and why it would be good for the Colts. I thought he said that we'd have a motivated Poe for one year.... and then, if he leaves, we'd have a shot at a compensatory pick for the loss. I'd be OK getting a compensatory draft pick.

I think he struggled so much in Dallas, because they ran/run a Tampa 2 and zone was never his strong suit. His strengths from his NFL.com draft profile: Quote STRENGTHS Claiborne is an aggressive cover man who likes to use his tall frame and long arms to get in receivers' faces, shock them at the line of scrimmage and disrupt their timing. When he punches, he makes his presence felt. He can run with his back to the ball at the receiver's hip using a press/bail technique and looks natural running with his man in-phase while still keeping an eye on the ball. Claiborne is such a gifted athlete with uncommon body control that he runs with his man fluidly up and down the field and still be able to break off at any time and get involved in plays coming across him.

It's not uncommon for a team to ruin a once highly touted prospect's career. It happens all the time by the wrong team taking the wrong player. He was PFF's #9 CB last season and it was obvious he had finally put it all together. The only thing hampering him is his injury history. Dallas entered FA with next to no cap space, so there was no way they could afford to keep him after his breakout year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
