CR91 FA mock


Recommended Posts

I am not doing a draft mock mostly because I haven't research the draft and I don't til after the season so heres what I think we'll do in FA

 

Cap Space 120.7 mil

 

Colts FAs Resigns

Geathers 3 year 17 mil 8g 

Glowinski 5 year 30 mil 15g

AV 1 year 3 mil

Inman 2 year 8 mil 4g

Mitchell 1 year 3 mil

 

As much as I want to resign Desir, I can see us losing a bidding war for him and unfortunately we lose him. 

 

Cap Space 99.1

 

Colts RFA and Misc

 

10 mil 

 

Cap Space 89.1

 

FA Signings

 

Jason Verrett CB 2 year 10 mil 5g

 

Yes I know he has been injured a lot in his career, but when healthy hes been a very good cover corner. I think this a low budget, but high reward signing

 

Tyrell Williams WR 3 year 20 mil 6.5g

 

Underrated deep ball WR that can compliment TY nicely

 

Devin Funchess WR 3 year 15 mil 5g

 

Big bodied WR for Andrew Luck. Does have drop issue though which is why I paid him less then Williams.

 

Dante Fowler jr Edge 3 year 18 mil 6g

 

Hasn't lived up to his top three draft pick, but does have 12 sacks in the last two seasons. Can be another good value pick up

 

Shane Ray Edge 1 year 4 mil

 

Another good bargain pick up that can help our inconsistent pass rush

 

Cap Space 62.44

I hope to not lose Desir but his play may start a bidding war.  Verrett is a perfect corner for our style of defense if he can stay healthy.  Williams and Funchess are both on my radar as well.  Im hoping somehow a better edge rusher doesn't get tagged but Fowler may end up being the best one to hit the market.

I wouldn't pay Gaethers this much. Nor Glowinski. I'd let both of them walk if they commanded this much. I would try to give Gaethers something along the lines of 2-3M a year. And up to 4-5 for Glowiski. 

 

I also think Tyrell Williams will command something in the range of 8 figures because he's the best receiver on the market and there will be bidding war for him.

 

Overall not bad attempt.

Im not letting Geathers or Glowinski go. I feel like those two are important building blocks and that is important to our growth right now. I think 6.5-7 is a reasonable price for Tyrell Williams. 8 is overpaying imo

I agree I love glow but I'm not going over board to keep him and geathers it's hard to rely on so I wouldnt pay him a ton either plus we should honestly be looking to upgrade the SS spot

Speaking of upgrading the SS spot, hopefully they look at Collins or Clinton-Dix. I think both guys would be good additions to the secondary. I'd prefer Collins, but I'd imagine they'll be similarly priced.

Thing is, if you let Geathers go, you're somewhat forcing yourself to be aggressive for a Safety in FA, cause then you'd only have Hooker, Mitchell, and Farley left (all of whom have been put on IR the last 2 years).

 

Ballard praised Geathers in his exit press conference. I absolutely see him resigning with the Colts.

I'm fine if he is signed for a cheap deal but I would not pay him as a starter

With his history of injuries to the neck Nah I'm good.  Too many of you on here are content with just good players he can be upgraded so try to do just that.

 

He missed what three games? He was still productive. Who would you even replace him with?

The reality is that Gaethers on the field does not provide you with much more than players you can get off-the-streets. Players like Mike Mitchell, Eric Reid, Kenny Vaccaro . All those were not signed well into the season and all of them produced well once signed.

You're really not seeing his production if you consider him a off the street player

This fanbase makes no sense sometimes. Anyone ever mentions paying top money to a FA that's among the top at their position and everyone yells "hell no not at that price" but an average starter that we draft comes up for extension and they scream "pay the man"

 

Because you dont win in March.

I don't consider him an off-the-street player... I'm saying you can get similar if not the same production from an off-the-street player.

Umm doesnt matter it's about paying players at their talent level. Paying players like geathers to money is how you destroy the cap

I dont see the difference. You really think we can sign a player off the streets and have him be third on the team in tackles?

6.5 mil a year destroys our cap?

Yes, if Mike Mitchell played as many snaps as Clayton he would have had about the same production. The off-the-steet free agents at the positions are the ones that thought they deserved what you gave Geathers in this mock, but nobody gave it to them... so they waited and waited and waited and the season started and they were still not signed and then they signed for peanuts because the market was not there for players like them.

How did Tre Boston or Kenny Vaccro do?

Exactly my point 

 

What point? Geathers is not a backup safety. Backups dont finish third in tackles.

Why would you only look at tackles? And the point is he should be our backup hes not some great starting SS dude has a big donut at INTs

Because their main responsibility is to be the last line of defense when the play breaks down

Is that why he had more tackles then all of them probably playing less games

Tackles =/= quality of play. In our system the tackles for the linebackers and safeties are elevated because we let people catch short-to-intermediate passes and let the LBs and safeties tackle them.

Because thats his job. Geathers is the dime backers.

I know people don't love PFF but I think they do provide nice general range of quality of play of the players (as opposed to just looking at tackles numbers). Here you go:

 

Geathers: 67.4(50th ranked safety)

Vaccaro: 66.4(56th ranked safety)

Mitchell: 81.1

Tre Boston: 74.1(25th ranked safety)

Eric Reid: 66.5 (55th ranked safety)

Look im not saying Geathers is a great safety, but he is productive for what we ask him to do in our defense. Its not like im projecting him to make 10+ mil a year

He is good. They are all good players. The thing is... none of them got anywhere close to 6M in free agency. That's my point. If the market doesn't require it, why overpay this much for something you can probably get for less than half that salary. I don't mind bringing both him and Mitchell back. Offer them both 2-3M a year. Offer Farley minimum contract and let them fight it out for the starting spot in camp. This way you get several players of similar quality for about the same salary. You get depth, you get insurance in case of injuries, you get competition at the position...

Third on the team in tackles. You dont think thats worth starter money?

I have a question, and think about it very carefully. If Landon Collins were to hit the free agent market, would you rather pay him or Geathers? A guy who’s played 59 games in his NFL career or a guy who’s played 41 games?

Collins is not hitting the market

Geathers is worth an offer but I would maybe offer him a 1yr $4-5 offer due to his injury history. He definitely is a very good player and a very good teammate. We know that is very important to this team. Reid would not get in our locker room if he offered to come for nothing. He, Boston and Vaccaro all asked for more money last year if I recall.

    • This is it, and that's how I saw Ballard's pushback -- he's always going to be small. So what do you do with that? Whether they were talking about Worthy or someone else, I don't think Ballard's point was that he needs to put on 10-12 pounds and he won't be able to. I think the point was you can't count on that, so judge his body as it is now.   As for Worthy, he's not much smaller than Josh Downs. At a certain point, small is small. If you draft a guy like that, you need to be comfortable with his size, not betting that he's going to get bigger.
    • Dobbs doesn't strike me as being team president/GM material, and the fact that there has been little movement, little evolution in Ballard's approach in 8 years, tells me Dobbs is more of a yes man, a rubber stamp man.  Other teams can see that.  If Dobbs, or anyone, were actually challenging Ballard from time to time, you might see a change in approach occasionally.
    • If I can find it, I’ll post it. But I think with most teams, they don’t have a plan for TEs. They just draft them just because. Steichen is a guy that seems to have a plan for the players that are drafted. And we’ve seen in Ballard’s recent presser that getting guys the staff can create a plan for is important to them.   This past season we drafted Downs who was different from the receivers that Ballard typically drafts. He had a lot of success because of his own ability, but Shane also schemed up ways to get him favorable match ups. I think Bowers is the type of guy that would flourish with Shane scheming him up. He’s a mismatch against LBs and safeties.
    • Well it’s expensive to move up into the top five.  He said in his presser moving up for Harrison is a “fantasy “.  I would guess he’s referring to pick 4 or there about.   That’s expensive.  I don’t consider he meant that high when he mentioned striking distance.  For me striking distance starts at pick 9.   Probably costing our 2nd round pick as well.  Let’s face it the only 2nd rd picks where Ballard acquired a great player with were Leonard and Taylor.  Leonard in the 30’s and Taylor pick 41.  We would be giving up 46 with a chance to get elite.  Pick 46 would probably get good not even great if he used it.  I’m hoping he tries for greatness this time and stays or moves up.  Please don’t trade back.  That’s all I ask.
