Free Agency Rumor Mill

[stitches 8,983]

I've been wondering where to post rumors about the Colts or other teams/FAs that don't deserve their own thread so... decided we can have a general thread to put those rumors in. So here we go... this coming just today:

This does make sense to me because I can see him making it to FA and not getting tagged unlike Harris and some of the other DL.

Well, they won Reid his SB, goal accomplished. 

 

Maybe they will take the long term route and sign more of a game manager to less of a one-pony-team contract.

[Chloe6124 7,754]

This guys rumors are really bad but since he is friends with Reich I will give him credit that Reich probably did talk to Rivers.

That's not gonna happen.  If Mahomes stays healthy,  he will be with the chiefs a very long time

Pending how far he falls I would trade up to get Love.

Agree!  If he makes it past SD at 6...then a trade up to 10 or 11 is in order and pretty economical

His takes are bad. I just posted those because he is friends with Reich so those I do believe.

As you can tell from who I selected in our mock draft together, I am totally against trading up for a QB that has question marks. If he's there at 34 then great get him! Or I'd be fine with even slightly trading up into the 20s from 34 to get him.

They all have question marks. Even Burrow.

He's not going to be there at 34. I wish y'all would stop tooting that horn

EVERY SINGLE PLAYER EVER DRAFTED HAS HAD SOME QUESTION MARKS. Kinlaw himself has big question marks and that's being that we are seeing some health issues come about as well as him being a liability in the run game and far from a finished project

[chad72 12,498]

I'd say move up to pick No.8 and get the guy you want, will probably cost pick No.44, so be it.

Obviously every player has question marks. I'm referencing the totality of question marks. For example, Jordan Love as a QB has way more question marks than say Jerry Jeudy at WR. In other words, the majority of NFL analysts agree that Jeudy is much more of a sure thing to be a star in the NFL rather than Love. There is MUCH more risk with Love than there is with someone like Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Derrick Brown, and Javon Kinlaw. 

 

Thats why when you look at top 50 overall prospect ratings done by professional analysts, all of them have those 4 prospects higher than Jordan Love. Because they present much more chance to hit rather than miss.

My Math:

 

Near locks time be gone by #13: (7) Burrow, Young, Tua, Herbert, Brown, Simmons, Okudah.

 

That leaves five more players gone before we draft from the following:

 

DT) Kinlaw

OT) Wills, Thomas, Becton, Wirfs

WR) Jeudy, Ruggs, Lamb

 

With at least three of those guys available to us, I see no need to trade up to get a premium player at a position of need (unless you think Ballard’s going to reach for a 2nd/3rd Round QB at #13)...

[Chloe6124 7,754]

Something to keep in mind. Say ballard has Love, Eason, Gordon all graded really close. He knows he could get Gordon in the second round. In this case he probably wouldn’t take Love. He would take a DT or WR at 13. But say Love is way higher then Gordon or Eason then he probably takes Love at 13 or moves up. 

 

I am going to bet the chargers might take Love if we don’t move up. I hope Herbert does well in workouts and interviews to stay ahead of Love.

If Herbert is there at No.7 after the Chargers pick, I can see the Raiders or some other team moving up. So, it always depends upon the right guy that is available. No one thought Malik Hooker would be available at No.15 in 2017 (he was rated Top 10 if I remember right). No one thought Castanzo would be available at No.22 in 2011 (he was rated a Top 15 player). Things happen in the draft you don't anticipate. That is why one could see 32 GMs have possibly 20 different boards for the Top 15 players.

 

Unless you think I am a pom-pom shaker for Jordan Love, which I am not (I get it, it can be nauseating, the love for Jordan Love). I personally do not think he is worthy of #13 but if Ballard thinks so, I will shut up and accept the verdict.   I still think, any QB we choose (Eason or Love) after the first 3 (Burrow, Tua, Herbert) are the kind of guys you go after later in Round 1 to get that 5th year option since we know they are at least a year away from being ready for the next level.

I think he will be gone before  we pick and depending on  which  team he goes to he will win rookie of year

Ryan Leaf linked to Colts  

[BleedBlue4Shoe86 586]

I was gonna say that most QBs will he linked to Colts. In regards to Mariota or other underperforming QBs, I’m cool with any. I truly believe Reich can coach up most of not all of them. 

[DarkSu 3,767]

Gotta love this team of year! The Colts are linked to every free agent that hits the market. Just waiting for free agency to official begin so I can listen to 90% of Colts fans complain when Ballard doesn't sign everyone under the sun.
