Should the Colts bring Demaryius Thomas in?

Coming off of his second achilles injury, i say no. 

I didn't realize it was his second.   Was his first one in his second year in the league?

 

I would consider it (at a low price) because he is only 31 and the Colts really needed another WR with experience last season.  

I'd also be Ok with passing on him.

That a joke? Hes in his thirties, coming off a major injury, wouldn't be ready to go at the start of the season, and hasn't been productive for years.

He's 31.

Had 83/949 in 2017

Had 90/1083 in 2016

 

That is pretty productive.  

Again, I am not saying that they should pursue him and give him a huge contract, just that they should kick the tires.

I would go with him over any of our WR's outside of Hilton.

 

Of course it would depend on the injury.

Yes, on the second year.

I remember reading on Walter Football how Demaryius Thomas switched to the same horrible diet that ruined Arian Foster's career.  In Fantasy Football 2018 I drafted Thomas in the 8th round and still took a beating for drafting him at all.  Him and Dez will be playing poker every 3rd Sunday this season.  

 

Don't believe the hype that we need to burn an early round pick on a WR.  Cain will be back and Ballard will find a value guy in FA.

Im not hig on D. Thomas but wouldnt mind having a seasoned WR take the #2 for a  (partial) year...let Cain, Fountain or (insert Rookie WR) ease into and take over the #2 by season end

I agree, bringing in a veteran wr is a need this off-season, even if one is drafted

That is why I thought the Colts should look at Thomas. 

Perhaps he could be a value signing.   I can't imagine he will get a big contract from anyone.

 Ballard's own words tell ME that will get no consideration. 
 Unless he does a 1 year low $$$ prove it deal, he would surely at least consider that i suppose.

Why should Bell take a prove it deal when his former team franchise tagged him? What does he need to prove if he has been compensated as top 5-10 salaried RB?

    • Welcome once again to Dr. T’s annual, official, Colts Draft Contest for 2024! Believe it or not, this is the 25th year we are doing this since the first contest was the Edgerrin James draft of 1999! With only seven choices this year, we needed to be creative again. So, contestants will be asked to select an A, B, and C choice for ALL rounds. Correctly choosing choice A merits 5 points, while correctly choosing choice B or C instead will merit 4 and 3 points respectively. If one of your "A" selections is chosen, but in a different round than you predicted, you get 2 points, if one of your "B" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 1 point, and if one of your "C" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 0.5 points. In addition, we will have a bonus question again this year and give everyone the opportunity to predict if the Colts will trade their #15 pick! The choices will be: trade up, trade back, stay put or you can also abstain from guessing. Like last year, if you predict correctly, you earn one point, but if you are incorrect, you will be DEDUCTED one point. If you don’t want to risk it, you can also abstain (no harm, no foul). For those that do not answer this question, the default is that this is a vote to abstain. If AND ONLY IF there is no clear winner at the end of the 7 rounds of the draft, the contest will be extended for ALL participants in which everyone will also be awarded one point for each collegiate free agent you predicted would be drafted by the Colts but was instead signed by the Colts after the draft.  Make your choices here by listing the round, choice A, B, or C for each round, with the name of the player, position and school AND your prediction on whether the Colts will trade the #15 pick this year. You may also write with each choice a little blurb explaining your rationale. Your 21 Colts selections and draft question this year are as follows:   Round 1 - #15 A, B, C Round 2 - #46 A, B, C Round 3 - #82 A, B, C Round 4 - #117 A, B, C Round 5 - #151 A, B, C Round 6 - #191 A, B, C Round 7 - #234 A, B, C   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  1) Yes, they will trade up. 2) Yes, they will trade back. 3) No, they will stay put. 4) I don’t want to risk losing a point and will abstain.   Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You also can make changes to your selections, but this can only be done before the contest is closed on Thursday at 11:00 AM CST April 25, 2024, on the first day of the draft. Good luck and let the best GM win!  
    • I guess Im not that excited about the class for one thing, maybe Im missing something.  What I see is rookie DEs fighting for playing time if they got here, I dont see big upgrades over what we have.  I do see big upgrades elsewhere that would start, probably day 1
    • Why be anxious about things you have absolutely no control over? We'll see what happens after it's all done.
    • But from a reduced viewing audience. What's the world coming to?
