great that he was able to stay available.......too bad what was available wasn't that great.

[DaveA1102]

Seems like an easy decision, he is not starter material for us at G based on his performances last year IMO, but someone who is there for depth at a reasonable cost.

 

As the saying goes, the best ability is availability.

[ColtsBlitz]

He needs work on his footwork, but good to keep him. Wasn’t injured at all last year, he could always improve his skills.

That's the KEY for ballard.

Dang.

Deyshawn Bond would agree with that!

[MacDee1975]

Sweet!  No need to draft an OG now, with Vuj back in the fold!  We are set for the next decade.

[dgambill]

He gained a lot of experience. Some players make a leap that second year....especially with more time for training, practice, and weight room. Will he improve....hard to say...it's going to take a lot...but he will provide depth and at worst probably stashed on the practice squad to call up in a pinch.

[krunk]

I wish they would have signed his walking papers.   Oh well!

[cdgacoltsfan]

Much needed depth at a position with no starters on the roster.

[MackAttack]

Draft Nelson

[IinD]

Boooo

[coltsfeva]

  Maybe he’ll benefit from the scheme change, experience and different coaching. At very least, a back up with experience.

[Four2itus]

Curious, how many other linemen didn't miss a snap last season?

[TheMose]

I like him as a backup but I really hope he doesn't see the field a whole lot. He could be a reliable starter with a lot of development. But he's far off right now

It was only Vuj and Castonzo. 

[csmopar]

Keep in mind folks, long way till September, he may be on the team now but if someone out performs him, chances are he'll be cut. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

The mad stomper returns.

Hopefully he makes a big improvement this year and injures no one.

Dudes been in NFL weight rooms for 4 years now.

 

Also most likely because of how many games he was in last year he's no longer eligible for a practice squad.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know his history. Both excellent points.

Then put me in, coach.

[NorthernBlue]

This is one of those situations where availability isn’t necessarily the best ability  

[bleevit]

With Vuj being ranked 80th out of 80 guards by PFF one would think he's only available for back up duty, hopefully.

[Dark Superman]

Good depth insurance and quality competition!

[lollygagger8]

He sure stomped his way back onto the Colts. 

[needanoline63]

Why is he still on this team?

[bleevit]

I keep forgetting the fact that our entire offensive line is still pretty young. To wax scientific, I read a study in physiology that stated men continue to gather static strength, some say up to almost 40 years of age. This might explain the tendency for many offensive linemen to continue to improve well into their 30s. As an example, Anthony Munoz was a pure monster right up until he retired. The Colts line will continue to grow together and with a few upgrades should be fine.

Just to annoy you?
