Superman Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I had this idea. I almost mocked Mingo to us in my big mock, but went with Jarvis Jones instead. Mingo can probably play ILB also, though. Interesting signing, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 We need bodies at linebacker. He's a linebacker. It's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRustonRifle#7 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would consider this a depth signing with hopes that he shows why he was highly regarded coming out of College. I am neither upset or jubilant in regards to this and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueShoe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 That is an excellent risk reward value. Plus we're getting a guy who has to put it all on the line; needing to prove something to get the next contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959Colts Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I always thought of Mingo as strictly a pass rush specialist. But statistically, Mingo has not gotten it done as far as sacks go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefire4 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 They struck out on Perry and had to improvise so this is fine. I wonder if they still bring Erik Walden back after he tests his market value or they emphasize getting younger. This has no impact on the draft obviously as Mingo has shown no ability yet.

MTC Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would have to assume that if the season started tomorrow, Barkevious and Ayers would be starting as our two outside linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmoney Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I really like this mostly because of the contract. Might do nothing for us, maybe we get the best out of him. If he ends up in the middle, plays average compared to his potential, he still can be a situational pass rusher. Hope Robert Mathis will put some work in with this kid, all the athletic ability just needs polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn could have fooled me :/ on the plus side this guy had a interception on Payton for the browns lo,l if that helps people feel at ease at all about this signing and his role as a Colt???

1959Colts Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Barkevious Mingo - LB - Colts Colts signed OLB Barkevious Mingo to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. It's surprising. Claimed off the scrap heap from the Browns last summer, Mingo played just 54 snaps for the Patriots. The Colts must have high hopes for Mingo on special teams. Mingo is versatile at linebacker, and boasts theoretical pass-rushing upside. He's still only 27 years old (in October). The Colts will hope they've found a late bloomer. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8381/barkevious-mingo Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
