Pierre Desir Released

[MarquisJ]

 

 

[Colts1324]

Didn't expect that. Did take a step down last year tho. Logan Ryan time?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am shocked. Ballard isn’t messing around this year. He must of really hated last season. I hope he has a plan. How much this saving on the cap?

[Moosejawcolt]

I think they have a lot of confidence in Sin and Tell. 

[PrincetonTiger]

[EastStreet]

I figured at least one (if not both) Desir or Geathers might be gone.

[runthepost]

Great move 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

How do you cut Desir and Wilson is still on the roster. Who is left in FA? They must really liked what they saw in Tell. He did look very good.

[Samu-Rye]

meh

6.8

you shouldn't be shocked lol.

it could mean a lot of things. could even mean they are making room for another big/medium FA add. or it could just mean they are happy with others, and/or might augment a little via the draft.

 

I've said all along Rock really improved late season, and is the type of guy that should take a big step in year 2. Physically he did great, just took time to adjust to scheme and NFL speed.

[aReggie7]

Pierre was such an easy guy to root for. I wish him the very best.

 

I'm not shocked he was released but I expect the Colts to sign another corner (not sure who is available) or draft one within the first four rounds. I think they need to add to the talent/depth there.

Wilson is still on his rookie deal and Desir hasn’t offered much for you lately not to mention the emergence of our young guys like Rock and Tell

easy...

Desier 6.8 

Wilson 1.8

[Defjamz26]

I think it’s a money saving move to go get Clowney.

 

Also likely drafting a CB high. I see Trevon Diggs in the 2nd round.

 

Edit: Desir was also one of his one year wonders that I feel he realizes he crowned too early. He also released Hunt who was the same. I expect Autry to be next.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think we are gearing up to sign someone.

I love Buckner and everything he brings but I personally think we need one more dominant force to really put together everything and with the Turay injury last year things are uncertain. If we could get Clowney man...

I'd love for him to come back as depth at a lower $$

[Mr.Debonair]

One year wonder. 

[stitches]

This one is weird to me. Desir had a down year with some injuries, but cornerback play is in general somewhat inconsistent. I thought he was fairly paid. There must be something we are cooking for this release... lets see what's going on. 

[VaAllDay757]

He was decent but when he gets beat he never recovers which is something we don't need

[Dingus McGirt]

Let's have nothing to do with Clowney.  He's just chasing cash.  Can't blame him for it.

 

 

[Patrick Miller]

I might desir was one of our better corners. I'm kinda surprised.

Says more about the lack of talent than his ability

 Weird. It is all about the $$$$. Tell was very questionable. Just a ok work in progress.
 There are bucket loads of solid prospect, cheap, corners in this draft.
 

[DonnieDarko1023]

I’m thinking this is making space for Clowney but I’m also shocked that out of any of the DB’s that need to be cut........Wilson definitely should have been the one

You might be right.  We have been linked to Clowney.  And with Sheard gone.  Maybe.

[aaron11]

he was set to make a lot but had zero dead cap if cut.  im not surprised ballard likes his money and PD did not live up to what he was making

[ColtJax]

I d take Xavier Rhodes for cheep..

Yeah Tell is a project. There’s no way he opens up as a starting corner. I agree that they must like the CB depth in the draft. 

[richard pallo]

I think we might see some action on the FA front before the day's over. 

[John Waylon]

So what you’re telling me is Wilson is an injury or two away from being a starter?

 Wilson isn't likely to make our final roster. Hopefully Arians wants him too.

I think they looked at a lot of things. Rock improved a lot, and likely is assumed to take and even bigger step in 2020. And Desir at 6.8M (which is top 32 pay) was likely just not enough ROI for someone they see as the 3rd or 4th CB. I'd bet they try to bring him back at a lower $

[chad72]

Name 1 Pro Bowl CB from the Giants 2007 and 2011 SB winning squads. Name 3 Pro Bowl DL from the Giants 2007 and 2011 SB winning squads. I rest my case.  

[throwing BBZ]

 Just looking over the remaining FA's, i like these fits to our needs.
 Everson Griffin
 Ndam Suh
 Breshad Perriman
 Tyler Eifort.

 Mike Person
  Maybe they go with Agholor.

[Valpo2004]

Seems like he should have gotten a better CB on the team first.

I wonder if they really like Marvell Tell... he got a lot more playing time than I expected, especially as a 5th round pick who is transitioning from S in college to CB in NFL. I thought he did fairly well... 

 

I also expect us to take another CB in the draft. This class actually has some nice players in that R2-R3 range. 

[CamMo]

This is surprising just based on how much they seem to dislike Quincy Wilson. 
 

[icf]

Why?  It’s not like they have an abundance of decent CBs on the roster 

[Coltsman1788]

A little surprised by this.  Wonder what Ballard has up his sleeve?  Are we really in on Clowney?  That would be great for our pass rush and give us an elite defensive front 7. 

 

Our corners are now questionable now in my opinion.  I like Kenny Moore in the slot.  Rock was shaky last year  but I understand he was just a rookie.  Hopefully he will improve his game.  Marvell Tell is raw.  Quincy just can't seem to get it together.  Surprised he is still around.
