Tampering is upon us!

[csmopar 8,688]

To me, every year, the next 2-3 days are the most exciting of the offseason.  Wonder if we'll have any leaks from today happen.  If they do, I'll post them here.

 Desir was a STUD twice against D Hopkins. A lot of value there.
 And the Giants had to love the despair on Amari Cooper's face when Desir embarrassed him. They see some serious value there.

I don't think it would be all that hard to replace Desir.

Want Za'darius Smith the most of these guys. Ray would be a good cheap option as well.

 I hope they still believe in Turay. And Lewis has Stud potential on Sheard's side.
I am crossing my fingers for Preston Smith. Autry can also take snaps outside in rush situations after we add a VG inside guy with rush ability.

I agree there are good players in the draft plus some good options in FA as well. We still got jalen collins on the team too 

[Mr.Debonair 2,244]

Fowler got 14, Flowers will

prob get about 17

Yeah, Flowers will be for sure in that range.  However, looks like there is a LOT of FA Edge Rushers combined with a plurality of edge rushers and DL in the draft.  Kind of an oddity if you ask me

The corner FA market is incredibly weak.   So unless it’s internal, like Wilson, I’m not sure who you think solves the problem.  

 

I dont think we can we can count on a drafted rookie to step in...

Jason Verrett is someone id like us to look at if Desir walks

That is quite an underwhelming group overall...given how old some of those guys are and how expensive some other guys will be for the level of player they are.

 

Flowers is going to get paid...and not sure Ballard will feel comfortable doing that. I don't think I would.

 

I am not totally opposed to Ansah on a short-term deal...but the price would have to be right and the Colts would have to have some insurance against injury.

 

Preston Smith seems like a decent signing to replace Sheard with a player of similar talent. But I imagine he won't cost the same as Sheard did.

 

All in all...I think there is probably a player or two that they can add to the rotation...but they are going to need some luck in the draft.

Jaylen Collins may be one of those guys.   Ballard found Desir off the scrap heap.

I trust if he let him test the market he's got something in mind the same as he did

last year.   We've had rookies step in under this scheme before, so it wouldn't be

the first time.  It's not ideal but I remember Jerraud Powers stepping in a couple

years ago and doing a pretty solid job.  If we keep Desir I'm cool with that but I dont

think it would be that hard to replace him.

[Shafty138 1,481]

Looks like Luck really was interested in recruiting Mosley when he asked him if he was a FA during the Pro-Bowl.... LOL

 

I like Mosley and Preston Smith....,. those 2, plus Collins.... then turn to the Draft please!

The Colts will probably be linked to half of the free agents on the market this week. There will be a lot of smoke, there probably won't be much actual fire.

Most likely.

Not sure who this guy is but...
 

 

 

[csmopar 8,688]

Malik Jackson is allegedly gone.
 

 

 

 

 

[krunk 12,044]

I don't think Zadarius Smith is the best fit for us other than being multiple.  He's good from the inside but he's not all that great coming off the edge.

This is my most wanted free agent for this team. He wouldn't kill us cap wise, and would complete this LB core with Leonard and Walker, making our LB core potentially the best in football. And he's only 26 so he has many years left in him and has good command of the defense. Walker and Leonard are better suited for free roam outside backers. 

[Chloe6124 5,816]

It’s funny seeing our name linked to all these players. That is a lot of players. Maybe one or two will happen.

If we would spend on Mosley and Collins and call it a FA I wouldn't be mad.....sign an under the radar guy like Shane Ray for extra edge pursuit and I'd call it a major win, IMO.

Can Walker or Mosley play SS LB?  I honestly don't know.

[Boiler_Colt 3,736]

Would be a great signing but again this is just speculation. Pelissero just said they COULD pursue him. The Colts and Jets are mentioned in every report simply because they have the most cap space.

If we did make this move, Walker would most likely move to SAM

Ballard has said Walker can play MLB and SAM.

Agree...would be a bad signing for what he will cost. Offers nothing from the edge...and it's not difficult to find less athletic DE types to kick inside. No sense in paying $10M+ for one. And to be honest...I don't think he's all that impressive on the interior either.

 

I think he's Tyquan Lewis with better run defense. But Lewis at least has some upside from the interior and his run defense will get better. I really hope the Colts stay away.

Assuming these guys have competent agents...then it might be even more than that.

I would have entertained that deal. But this means that Jordan Hicks is likely going to get away now. I am fall for bringing him into the mix.
