Upcoming Colts Free Agents

[TKnight24]

 

Donte Moncrief & Jack Mewhort are clearly the priorities off this list. Everyone else I'm on a toss-up with

 

 

 

[ProblChld32]

Mewhort and Moncrief are priorities imo. I just dont see them giving Vontae another big payday while he is getting up there in age. 

[GoColts8818]

Mewhort is a big priority to me.  I need to see more from Moncrief before I feel like he's a must re-sign.  Don't get me wrong I want him back but if the Colts lost them I don't think it would cripple them. 

 

Adam and Davis will depend on how their seasons go but I could see one or both being high on the Colts retain list.

I agree.  I can see AV kickin' it in his 60's.  Mewhort should be .  I can see Moncrief having a 1,000 yard and 7 TDs.

I'd say Moncrief over Mewhort.  I've already explained why I think the Colts should re-sign Moncrief (shameless plug), but I'd want to see if Mewhort can stay healthy all year long and over that knee injury from last year.  If he has and it hasn't affected his play, then I'm all for bringing him back too.

 

I don't anticipate the Colts bringing Davis back unless he has a stellar year.  He's starting to get up there in age and we have some young DBs

[crazycolt1]

Looking at the total list of upcoming free agents there could be a couple who play their way into being resigned.

It would be real nice if Adam Vinatieri became the all time leader in career points and field goals made with the Colts.

[aaron11]

i dont think moncrief is a must sign just yet

 

he needs to have a big contract year

 

its interesting that he has averaged similar numbers over his career to what andre Johnson put up in his one year here

[rockywoj]

If Davis stays healthy and contributes with another solid year, I would think he HAS to be a priority.

[throwing BBZ]

We will see how Mewhort`s knee holds up.
The guy was already too slow to contribute much beyond the space in front of him. Defensive co-ordinators have to like it.
 A huge hindrance to running outside, even trying to pull inside. They tried a few wider pulls with him early last season and it was pathetic. So they quit trying. 
 Well, Chud actually did create a pull that they ran just a few times where he only had to get on the other side of the center. Funny.
 I recall he got there in time and did ok.

Sure he is stout and gritty. But replaceable rather than pay $9+ Million for his skill set.
 Of course i think we will pay him.  Unfortunate.

  Moncrief can definitely be a very valuable weapon. .I hope he can stay healthy for 14+ games.

  But not having a 100% Luck will shade his numbers.

most guards are usually better at either pass or run blocking.  only the best in the league excel at both

[Valpo2004]

Mewhort is a must re-sign.

 

Moncrief I want to see him produce and stay healthy in his contract year.

 

Davis, I'm not sure about.  Maybe a 2 year deal or something like that, but he's going to be on the wrong side of 30.  We should consider replacement options.

 

Vinny: We can give him another year if that's what he wants and he continues to kick well.

 

Gore is done

 

Butler I don't see much use for him left at this point.  

[deadman]

I'd argue that Mewhort is towards the top of the re-sign list if not at the very top. He is a solid lg and has the versatility to play other positions in a pinch. We should do whatever we can to keep the oline intact for a few years. 

[a06cc]

12 is the only guy you can’t replace. With the slightest bit of improvement from the new roster I trust Ballard to replace any guy he sees fit. I look at age and availability with the top 5 guys we could lose next year. It’s not in their favor to warrant resigning. AV is a legend, but can be replaced.

Depending on price. He shouldn't be paid as a lockdown corner anymore unless he has one of those seasons this year. And even then I'd be a little hesitant since he'll be 30 next year. 

[lollygagger8]

If Vinny does well, I can see him getting 1yr contracts from here on out. 

 

All the other players.......you have to wait and see after this year how they play. 

[Virtuoso80]

How much salary cap will we have for next year's crop of free agents?  Last I looked on spotrac was $47.9 mil but overthecap says $61.1 mil.  Not sure which one is correct.  But both sites say we will have the 3rd highest cap space in 2018.

[DaColts85]

Everything is based on this year IMO.  That's my easy cop out to answer the question.  I will say that I would be shocked if we do not bring back Mewhort.  If he has a bad year or shows that he is becoming injury prone I could see Ballard letting him walk or trying to get a team friendly contract from it.  Davis to me knows this is his last chance at money so he will go wherever the money is and that is not here.  Moncrief needs to show his worth, and I think he will if healthy.  AV can be resigned as many times as he would like.  The GOAT at his position.  I like that Ballard has produced a new culture with the team though. 

[Str8himalaya]

I think Mewhort is a must sign at this point, just get it done and keep that line together. I feel moncrief is about to tear it up this year, and if he does, we will have to overpay him to stay here. Luckily we will have something like 50Mil in cap space next year and if I remember right that is like 3rd most in the league. We should take care of our own and then look to get an impact guy. I really hope some of our other guys pan out, but at least Mewhort, Moncrief, and AV should get decent offers. I love Vontae, have for a long time, but he has to get back to his 2014-2015 play for us to offer him a bigger contract, I'm all for it if he does (shorter term obviously).

[indyagent17]

Moncrief is due to break out.  He is productive when he is on the field 

 

he is averaging 6 TD a season and bunch of first down catches. I agree he needs to advance his game to get a new contract with us but I think he will have a great year assuming he can stay healthy

[Dark Superman]

I would really love to see all three come back.

Davis might be getting older, but who do we have behind him?

 

Vontae has been playing on a defense with that has generated zero pass rush the past two seasons.

Add some talent around the guy and watch him flourish.

I love all three of these guys..

[RockThatBlue]

Mewhort is a no brainer. Davis is a toss up. Even if he has a great year, hes getting older for a CB.

[Defjamz26]

None of them are really must haves. Mewhort is always banged up. Moncrief is just a standard run-of-the-mill #2 receiver. Easily replaceable. Davis' play has declined even when healthy, and he's getting up there in age. Vinateri is a first ballot HOF and his play is fine, but eventually you have to go younger.
