BProland85 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 For those fans that are very discouraged about the future of this team, we need a big signing like a Ben Grubbs, Paul Soliai, or maybe even Carl Nicks to make things look more promising for young Andrew Luck coming in. We should have enough cap space once we trade Freeney to get one or two of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yup.. once we trade freeney.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCH Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We just need to find a suitor for Freeney. Hopefully Mario will sign with the Bills today so someone can overpay for Freeny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tark The Shark Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 whenever we do trade Freeney, but it seems like nobody is interested.I doubt we will make a big splash in FA, i see small signings and buying cheap FAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfarley Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 don't expect any big signings (like mario williams level player), this is the COLTS we are talking about. Name one "BIG" signing in the last 5 years from free agency? I'm sure there are some I just can't think of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Cory Redding - http://www.stampedeb...-visiting-coltsHe's a pretty big guy, he had his best season this year in a 3-4 DE with Coach Pags, 4.5 sacks, 43 tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name one "BIG" signing in the last 5 years from free agency? I'm sure there are some I just can't think of any.well, thats probably because we had Bill (I don't believe in free agency) Polian running the show. Its a whole new ballgame now. I do doubt very much we go after big name guys simply because we'll need to sign a bunch of guys just to fill out the roster, but I see us bringing in several 2nd tier guys.

That was what, 6 or 7 years ago?I'm all for the Money Ball approach. Get a lot of lower priced solid guys, draft a couple play makers (besides Luck), and build from within.

Got rid of their HOF QB and cut basically the whole team. What makes you think they cant sign FA's now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austriancolt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I hope they sign Robert Meachem. Collie, Meachem, White and a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick plus maybe a late one would be a decent WR core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I agree except trading a mid thirty year old undersized defensive liinemen who looked clearly injured at times last year must not be easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvbighead Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I hope they sign Robert Meachem. Collie, Meachem, White and a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick plus maybe a late one would be a decent WR core.I hadn't really considered Meachem before, but from what I could see, he never really caught on in NO who doesn't have the best crop of receivers. They spread the ball around a lot, and Meachem still couldn't get touches.I am hoping for a Steve Smith or Mario Manningham type. Those two each had some solid years with the Giants. If healthy, either one could be a decent option for Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austriancolt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Robert Meachem: 62 Games - 141 Rec - 2.269 Yards - 16.1 Y/Avg - 23 TDPierre Garcon: 58 Games - 188 Rec - 2.519 Yards - 13.4 Y/Avg - 16 TDHis stats are not that bad and we should get him for less than we offered Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsforever Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Your big signing is Andrew Luck. I doubt if any big time free agents will sign with the Colts. It will probably be five (5) years before they have a winning record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colts20593 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Maybe get a #2 wr in free agency, Then draft a wr in the 2nd round. Collie played outside in college but I do think he is better in the slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick_Rick Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'd be happy with any sort of news. With a new qb, we really need to get on the ball and get him some weapons. Nothing against Austin Collie, but we need some speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Go read my thread, and that is the reason why we dont need a big signing. More quality players are better than one great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellboys Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 with so much dead money sitting against the cap this year it might be tough to sign any FAs this year. We got lucky to tonight to get Wayne back. But look out for next season when we have over 30 mil to spend on some FAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakai432 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm confident by the start of the season we will have a monster offense. No one replaces Manning, however with Reggie, Collie, White, Costanzo possibly big Ben on the OL this offense is already looking ok. I can only imagine what this offense might look like this year after the draft ;)Ohh I forgot to mention Andrew Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Reggie counts! It snapped us out of our depression for the most part even if only for a little. A move like that was exactly what colts fans needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
