Why do I keep seeing reports about the Colts and Ndamukong Suh being a good fit? (merge)

[runthepost]

3 years prolly $40 Million

[chrisfarley]

kind of irresponsible for Luke to say that.... what team isn't "lurking"  any big name player like that.  Of the teams "lurking" him, the Colts would probably be the least likely to lurk-n-snag him.

So please explain you cup is half full colt fan, What culture do the colts now have?

I really am curious.

I’ve got no problem with the culture Ballard is instilling here. Young hungry team. No longer holding onto old over the hill players with bloated contracts. Starting guys based on talent and not their salary. We have a clean slate here. New coaches, staff, cleaned out the dead weight, getting a fresh healthy Andrew back...what’s not to like? I’ve been a Colts fan since they arrived in Indy and love the direction we are headed....if you can’t be patient enough to give the rebuild a few years then save us all the crying and go watch some soccer.

 

 

ps I love soccer too just saying it’s going to take time for this...welcome to reality.

[DougDew]

Well, him and Hankins might stuff Fournette and force Bortles to throw the ball......maybe to Moncrief we could hope.  

 

We've got some space.  How about 2 years $20 million with $8 million guaranteed.  He's still a very good player and doesn't seem to get injured.

 

He had a bad coach in Detroit that encouraged that stuff he did.  Still not a model player, but his time with Miami wasn't bad highltight reel stuff was it?

If we would have used that $2M and added that to Norwell’s offer, he’d likely be with us instead

If Ballard can see a way to make the money work then make it happen. Blue chip player

itll take more than 10 million per year.. closer to 20 milion per year would do it

Still, we have the space.  I'm interested in keeping the time commitment short, the money isn't that big of a deal.

Nah.  He's got baggage and he's not young anymore.  He may want that, but we'll see what a team gives him.

Ya I’d give him like a 4 year deal where he makes like 17M the first two years then drops to 12 the next two. But only guarantee the first $30 M so if we needed to we could cut him after 2 years

my guess is he'll be in that area.  Hes the highest grade FA this year and lots of teams have the space. Ballard would pretty much have to go big.  That's why I don't think its realistic

[Colts_Fan12]

Get him and honey badger and that could give us a couple of great players on D wouldn't help luck stay healthy in any way tho 

[lance_m8]

somehow the jags will pull 30 million out of nowhere and sign him and we all will wonder where they get this money from

Colts aren't getting honey badger, he's already said he wants to go to a team that has a solid D focus

[richard pallo]

He's a great fit that would help us in the run game and pass rush.  The only games he's ever missed was when he was suspended and that was years ago.  He's a difference maker even at 31.  I wouldn't at all be surprised if we bring him in.  I actually think if we don't sign him then we are signing Poe. 

[CheezyColt]

How many times has Ballard said that he'svery focused on how sogmomgs will affect the locker room? Suh would be a complete and total reversal of what he's been preaching. Miami let him go in order to facilitate a culture change. This does NOT seem like something Ballard would go for (and honestly I would agree with him here)

[krunk]

I'm with you Rich!

[Boiler_Colt]

Havent we learned to stop listening to "reports" by now?

[cdgacoltsfan]

No way are we interested. Jags, Rams ,Titans or maybe Texans will sign him. Those teams are trying to get better. We are content with being mediocre at best.

Stop.

[PeterBowman]

I think, to Ballard, it will revolve around how he'd fit in the locker room.....money won't be an issue...Colts have plenty and he's a blue chip player worth it.

Doesn’t really seem like a Horseshoe guy

I’d think the Colts fit that bill, definitely feel there will be much focus on improving the defense this off-season

Maybe that's why we need him... a team full of "horseshoe guys" got us 4-12 with 3rd pick in the draft lol... with that being said he's not coming here

[Boiler_Colt]

Chad Forbes twitter doesnt even really say the Colts are targeting Suh. It says if Suh really wants top dollar then the Colts make sense. He's just connecting need and cap space.

We are lurking...no kidding. That's all we have been doing for 2 days now.

[krunk]

A whole bunch of people thought Rodney Harrison was a dirty player but that never stopped the Pats from signing him. Only thing I have pause with on Suh is the money. Contract needs to be short also.

[will426]

31 isn’t really that old for a DT I think and he’s also never had any major injuries (not sure if he’s missed many games at all) and he’s still one of the top defensive players
