2019 FA Wish-List.


Recommended Posts

What 2019 free agents would you guys like to see in Indianapolis at the start of the 2019 season? The Colts will have roughly around 120 million in cap space and hopefully will be able to sign a few guys who can really take this team to the next level. Here's my list.

 

1. Golden Tate III WR - Lions

2. Rob Havenstein OT - Rams

3. Geno Atkins - Bengals

4. Avery Williamson - Jets

5. Landon Collins - Giants

6. Rashaan Melvin - Raiders

 

I know most of these guys are bigger names and will command a good contract so signing multiple guys of this caliber is very unlikely. I would be happy if Ballard was able to sign 1-2 bigger name guys but I guess only time will tell.

 

Who do you guys want? #Colts

Anthony Barr Strong Side LB (Vikings) 26yo injury free +++ better than Najee Goode / Zaire Franklin.  Was drafted R1P9 in 2014 and current position rank 3/46 43OLB.  Seriously doubt the Vikings can retain him unless they franchise him but currently looks like the Vikings have other players that need to get paid as well.

 

I would offer 6 years (2019-2025) $117m / Avg 19.5m / $45m guaranteed at signing / $73m Practical Guarantees / FA in 2026.  This offer would make him more than Von Miller and under Khalil Mack who just got paid by the Bears.  Realistically could see Barr getting paid between 19.5m to 21m.

Havenstein and Atkins were extended couple of months ago. Williamson has 2 more years left on his deal, Jets signed him in last March.

 

I really like Collins but he'll get paid. Not sure if Ballard will put that much resources on safeties. I'm personally for it.

 

Tate, Cobb, Tyrell Williams, Jamison Crowder and Quincy Enunwa are on my wish list at WR.

Barr is not worth being paid similar to Von Miller and Khalil Mack.

If Barr makes it to FA can guarantee he will get paid (over-paid) by some team needing his skill set.  Barr will command top dollar close to Miller and Mack already by being the third best OLB available.  Barr's statistics are equally impressive in the tackling department but does lack in sacks in comparison.

 

I went through Spotrac.com and looked at this upcoming year's projected 2019 FA list and sadly not many stood out worth acquiring to me other than Anthony Barr to make a long-term impact and true needs based requirement.  The Colts will definitely have the financial cap space to pay Barr.  Call it a fantasy dream come true if our Colts could acquire Barr starting opposite side of the field from Darius Leonard.  The icing on the cake IMO would be to draft MLB Mack Wilson in Round 1 to complete our main starting LBs.  More tape I have watched on Devin White I am not impressed as he seems pedestrian compared to watching tape on Wilson.  I am staying away from Te'Von Coney with his off-field drug related issues.

If we could get 3 or 4 from this list I'd be happy: Bell, Coleman, Tate, Cobb, Enuwa, OT Daryl William's, DeMarcus Lawrence, Ansah, Frank Clark, Clowney, Graham, KJ Wright, Barr, Mosley, Buchannon, Preston Brown, Darby, Roby, Dennard, Verrett, Gaines, Collins, Clinton-Dix, Irving, Malcolm Brown, Bennie Logan.

Offhand:

Quincy Enunwa - WR Jets

CJ Anderson - RB Panters - 2 year deal.  

Jay Ajayi - RB Eagles

 

We should really try to improve our RB depth.  It's an embarassment that many teams have 2nd and 3rd options better then the Colts first option.  

i concur

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
