Still waiting on news of Colts’ efforts to land Ryan Jensen. DJ Fluker is another possibility, too, as I reported yesterday. But here’s something else: I heard some good news on Jack Mewhort’s health yesterday. Maybe we should keep an eye on him. He’s a wildcard.

Ravens center Ryan Jensen was flown in on a private plane from Tampa Thursday and had dinner in Indianapolis with the Colts' brass last night. That visit continues today. The Bucs believe they made a good offer comparable to what the Colts will offer but I'm told that it's also about finding the right "fit" for him.

That second part makes me like this guy even more.  I appreciate that he wants to find the right fit, because that tells me a lot more about him aside from his play on the field.

Agreed

This thread is so weird in exploring fanbases' emotions associated with courting a player:

Step 1: Who the hell is this guy? Why aren't we getting those other guys I've heard about instead?

Step 2: Research, some people say he's good

Step 3: Go go go. Get him

Step 4: If we don't get him, the world is over! Fire Ballard!

This might be the thing that pushes him away from the Colts. His best season has been at center and if he signs with us he's very likely going to play at guard.

If you are getting him for the versatility, he cannot come in and say "you HAVE to play me at center". I don't think he has established enough sample space to demand that, IMO.

 

If he wants to be paid starter money, he will get paid starting guard money, which is actually a bit more than starting center money, correct? The financials might be in his favor??

 

Don't the Ravens use more power blocking or do they use ZBS?

Depends on what the other suitor offers him. If they offer him similar money and better role, he might choose them.

That's what I've been thinking too. Bucs need him at C and he very well may prefer that than playing G. If the pay is near the same and he wants to be a C then I think the Bucs will land him.

Jensen played G until Urshel retired

I really hope we sign this guy. Man would he upgrade our Line.

[DougDew]

How do you work position into a contract?  Midseason, Reich wants to move him to G and he whips out his contract and says no way?   Its gotta be just a verbal handshake.

 

Hey CB, tell him he can play QB.  Just get him in here.

I think he's probably looking for more of an organizational fit. We have a need at G, so immediate playing time is very probable. I also think Ballard and Reich are the kind of guys that you instantly get along with and get a good feeling about just from talking to them. For a guy who believes being a good fit is equal or more of a determining factor in choosing his next team, those guys are the type he'd most likely be drawn to.

Yeah he's played all over the place it seems, but he just had his breakout year as a center and he might be eager to continue his success there. Or not. Who knows.

I don't think it'll be an issue.

To Jensen:

Sign the freakin contract damnit!!! Save my quarterback!!!

[richard pallo]

He came in last night and it's now almost 4pm and nothing.  Someone or both are really serious negotiators.  Someone better make a concession and sign this guy before he leaves town..  And you know who I mean.  They can't be that far apart.  Seriously.

[Dark Superman]

If we can get Mewhort back that would be huge since he can play any of the 5 positions.

Step 5: Miss out on said free agent we were pursuing, then fans say, oh well, he wasn't that good anyway, I didn't want him...lol

[Colt Overseas]

Feels alot like Poe last year. Hours of negiotations. Ballard is so steadfast in his contract valuations.

Is there news that he and the Colts are interested in each other?

not a peep on him anywhere

[Pilgrim]

I think we need him. I don't wanna break the bank, but at this point, anything is better than allowing Vujnovich back out there.
