You have no clue how much cap space we have do you?

 

Uhhh Well. I'm a jock. Not a math dude, but its been stated over and over we have around 60 million.

 

[rock8591]

No chance Branch gets 9 million, he'll be 33 when the season starts.

Don't pay any attention man. They'll see when it comes across tomorrow we've signed 2-3 studs

Take a look on the previous page of this very thread,  about half way down

I can get Perry. He seems like an ascending talent, as does Bouye, but the sudden production in their contract years is a concern for me. Given the positional strength in the draft, I'd be ok with taking a risk on Perry, but there's no way I'd pay the premium it would take to get Bouye when there are rookies in the draft with similar bodies of work.

 

Also remember that getting big time FA's usually doesn't equal success. Sorry for beating a dead horse, but this isn't Madden.

 

Please explain how anyone in the draft has a similar body of work as Bouye.

Bouye had one great season, in a contract year. That's not much to work with. For me, you could pay a high price for a 1 year wonder that may never have a season like that again, or you could draft one of the absurdly gifted CB's in this draft that would cost peanuts.

You didn't answer the question.

Wrong Branch. Andre. And it's already a done deal. 9 mill.

[COLTS449]

Perry and another guy like Bouye, Gilmore, Baker, Williams, Lang, etc is do-able.

From a few posters on here, I've gathered that Perry looked the part last season and you could tell he finally put things together. I never thought too much of him because he was such a non-factor his first few seasons. Apparently he is viewed as an ascending talent, very much like Bouye. Again, the concern is all of sudden having a good performance in a contract year.

[PeterBowman]

According to Rotoworld the Colts are in play for Perry but he could be looking at $10 mil per year.

What I meant by a similar body of work is that he had a great season in a contract year. Beyond 1 year, he's quite an unknown, which is essentially what you get with a rookie. It may have been a poor choice of words..

If Indy signed him I just pray and hope it's not 10 mil per year plus. He's good but he's not worth elite pass rusher money. 

That's not really elite pass rusher money 

[Boiler_Colt]

Jason La Canfora reporting Colts are still in on Poe, who could be willing to take just a 1 year deal.

[Virtuoso80]

 

[tvturner]

Give me Poe or Hightower

Honestly I'd rather have Gilmore for 2 or 3 million cheaper per year.

Or everyone just links us to all of em because our roster sucks so bad

 

 

Anyway I'd prefer to spend our money on proven guys, not potential one year wonders like Perry and Bouye.  I feel very confident that Bouye is gonna be an expensive bust for someone.

 

Yeah the roster sucks about as bad as a banana bucket infested with. . . . . . . . .  Brazilian Wandering Spiders.

 

 

LOTS of work to do. IMO

 

But I suck so maybe it's not as bad as I think. . . . .

[COLTS449]

The hype for Nick Perry is he's an ascending player who's just starting to tap into his potential these last couple years. He had what? 11 or 12? sacks this year and he missed 2-3 games, and was injured toward the end of the year. He would have had over 15 if it weren't for being hurt, and IMO would have led the league (Beasley Jr. had what? 15.5?). Perry would have been right there. He was one of the best EDGE rushers in the NFL. He was just a late bloomer. But his best years will be on this contract and take it to the bank. Remember everyone thinking Minnesota was insane for giving Griffin big money? Look now. Griffin's a beast and Nick Perry's turning into a top 10 EDGE rusher. I could see him putting up 15 or 16 with a crap ton of hits and hurries this coming year. Pair him with a beast like Takk McKinley and its on with the pass rush. But no. Nobody wants to sign here. We'll probably sign John Simon and Kevin Minter HAHAHAHA. Wait on it. Bet on it. We're bringing in some ballers. Prediction - 2 major signings, 1 mid tier signing (money wise)

Anyone that really knew the Vikings (my dad's a diehard Vikings fan) knew Griffin was an animal.

 

If we get Perry, I sure hope you're right about him (pretty sure you're the one that slightly convinced me about him).

On JMV today one of the Colts reporters, can't remember who, was saying he heard the Colts are looking for a corner.

Oliver Vernon followed a similar track  - meddling first 3 or 4 years, one heck of a contract year - and got paid a ton. Dont go thinking you are getting Perry on the cheap. He may be less, but i doubt very much he will be a steal.

[akcolt]

We are looking at 20-25M a year for Perry and Buoye I would rather sign Simon(26) 4-6M SAM Okafor(26) Edge 2-4M  and Hodges ILB.(26) 4-5M. We could still add Supe's CB Webster 3.5M a year and have money for a RG for what we are looking at giving 2 one year wonders.

 

Walden had 11 sacks last year Alexander hit double digits for Buffalo It was a strange year.  

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Webster sucks. We don't want guys like him or Walden. We want solid starting players.

LOL, we should be looking for just about any defense position! I don't think Ballard and the rest of FO is getting much sleep this week.

Hope so... it is IMO the 1b with edge rush being 1a.

Let the Ballard is a horrible GM riot act begin!!! Just because he didn't force Perry to sign with the Colts. On the other hand it feels this free agency is gonna turn out just how I've kinda thought. Maybe 1 big signing and 2-3 mid/low level signings. I'm just glad I never got my hopes up for anything, so there will be no fit pitching from me.

So now its been rumored we're in on Perry, Bouye, Baker, and Zeitler. I mean it was obvious we would be aggressive. We'll sign a couple of the big names. And YES big names meaning big time players. Give me Perry and Bouye and Alan Branch.

BOO YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like he's staying in Green Bay......

[weslo1812]

Willing to bet we're probably hard after Sheard right now, if what's been said about us being genuinely interested is true. I'm thinking he might be the first signing we make.

Now we need the pitchforks.
