I'm not really surprised here.  I can see Ballard viewing him as a similar player to Houston at the same juncture in their careers.  I can see us making him a very good offer close to Houston's.  If he wants him I hope Ballard get's him.

If I had to guess, I'd say we offer a 2 year 25 mil contract with 13 g in the first year

I'd say that's a little high. He was due to make 13 million and typically when older guys are cut for cost savings, they usually don't sign for near the same amount.

Its basically a one year deal if we don't like what we see after one year

I’d be careful with the legitimacy of some accounts on Twitter. I tend to look at verification by their name or the RT and fav count and he has neither of the two. We are in fact interested or maybe intrigued from what I’ve seen from verified accounts but reached out we don’t know as of yet.

Mike Chappell and Joel A. Erickson have both discussed it

But unlike most this is coming from MC and JAE

I get it. How nice it would be if this then, was the only thread. My comment was as much about how ALL those thousands of posts about players who were never even in our zip code were fan guppies being hooked by a media bait and hook, then it was about this thread being non legitimate. :cheers:

True, but more creditable outlets are fluting the same thing.

I agree but MC and JAE are pretty reliable

I think that is high. I would say 2 years at around 20 .

 

I can't see him taking that especially with someone like the browns that would outbid that contract easily imo

"level of interest" and "kicking the tires" are what sources are going to say to maintain some sort of leverage.  The leak isn't going to say "going all in for".

 

We have the cap space with a lot of rookie deals not falling off for 3 and 4 years.  It's not my money -- go get him GMCB!

If we get him my Super Bowl aspirations would ratchet up a notch.  Houston , Funchess and possibly McCoy.   Those three are potential difference makers.  Fans are already excited about our team.  If we get McCoy we should move up the list as one of the SB favorites IMO.

Passing situation with a 4 man line consisting of Sheard, Autry, Mcoy, and Houston ain't bad at all.  Sign him up!

 

That's a combo that would make any QB feel antsy trying to drop back.

Then behind that is the young boys and Margus Hunt.  Turay, Banogu, Tyquan Lewis, Muhammad.  Not bad at all.

Drew Bree says he wants Mcoy on the Saints:

 

It’s no secret that the relationship between New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is strong. They regularly train together in the offseason and are very familiar with each other’s talents on the field. When asked by Andrew Clay of KATC-TV how he’d feel about the prospect of McCoy signing with the Saints as a free agent, Brees was all smiles.

 

He’s a stud, he’s a great player,” Brees grinned. “I mean you’re basically asking me if I would love having a Pro Bowl defensive tackle that I’ve spent the last eight years trying to run around and avoid, not have hit me, join our team. Yeah of course.”

Something tells me he's going to end up being too far outside of our valuation when it gets down to the money.

I wouldn't mind this signing

An interior pass rusher that can provide pressure up the middle.   With a little more size than most of our other options sans Stewart.  That’s all I’ve been asking for...I’d love this signing if it happens. Would address our most glaring remaining concern.

I'd be very surprised if the bidding surpasses the money Houston got during the first wave of free agency...and I would think we'd pay that.  If he is limiting his search to a contender, then that eliminates a lot of the teams that have the cap space remaining to bid 8 figures.  The Saints certainly don't have that kind of space without fancy footwork.

    • Actually they can’t without some restructuring which as has been pointed out the Colts could do but don’t seem interested in it.  When you account for rookies and Flacco they have something like $13 or $14 left and Sneed wants $22 million a year.  That’s also just this year.  The Colts will have more free agents they will want to sign next year like Buckner perhaps that may want a raise and you can’t count on another $30 million cap increase like this year.  
    • Yes but if the average team is worth 5.1 billion dollars and the league makes almost 20 billion a year in revenue and they have revenue sharing like the NFL does even the smallest team in the NFL isn’t hard up for cash.
    • The truth is Colts can still afford what Sneed asks and also have re-signed all those guys. It's never one or other, as contracts can be restructured/extended to create cap space or convert an existing contract into signing bonus and add void years to push the cap hit into more years.   Ballard had not done that in the past, but he'll do it as Colts enter Richardson era.   As Stephen Holder claims, it's not expensive Free Agent (not plural) vs own free agents, Holder talks as of it's not technically possible and is being reiterated so here. That's not the case in truth.   If Ballard thinks the way Holder says, that might be for this year, unwilling to start getting into cap movements into future, but as he'll be forced to do the same in few years, he might as well start doing it so that such restructures get distributed over many years rather than getting lumped together when Richardson wants to get paid. 
    • We really do need to sign 2 safeties  and I think Edwards and one of the 2 you mention is not out of then question 
    • Oh he didn’t the other era I was referring to with the draft well and keep your we approach was Polian not Grigson.  I should have been more clear.
