We Need A Big Signing!

[BProland85]

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.

[Busta]

Yup.. once we trade freeney....

[CCH]

We just need to find a suitor for Freeney. Hopefully Mario will sign with the Bills today so someone can overpay for Freeny.

[Tark The Shark]

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

[chrisfarley]

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.

Cory Redding - http://www.stampedeb...-visiting-colts

He'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.

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.

The last 'big' signing was probably Simon. 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.

The "Colts" you speak of fired everyone on the staff. Hired a new one. Got rid of their HOF QB and cut basically the whole team. What makes you think they cant sign FA's now?

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.

[Gavin]

I agree except trading a mid thirty year old undersized defensive liinemen who looked clearly injured at times last year must not be easy

[mvbighead]

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.

[austriancolt]

Robert Meachem: 62 Games - 141 Rec - 2.269 Yards - 16.1 Y/Avg - 23 TD

Pierre Garcon: 58 Games - 188 Rec - 2.519 Yards - 13.4 Y/Avg - 16 TD

His stats are not that bad and we should get him for less than we offered Pierre

[coltsforever]

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.

[Colts20593]

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

Bill Polian isn't here anymore.

[Slick_Rick]

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.

[Andy]

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.

[Jaric]

REGGIE WAYNE SON!

[Andy]

REGGIE WAYNE SON!

It's a big signing name wise, but money wise, it's a great deal for us. He deserves more money, but i can't complain

Forserious. I'm still stunned. Remind me never to buy a car from Ryan Grigson.

[18Manning]

Reggie's a bid signing!

[Andy]

I would, he'd get me a great deal!

[bellboys]

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

[ColtJ82]

Meachem still wouldn't be a bad signing for the #2

[Warhorse]

Hope this big signing rolls up in a dump truck and has a hard hat.

A big hels yaa.

[chrisfarley]

need a burner wide rec. out of draft.

[Malakai432]

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.

[GoColts8818]

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.
