Here are the cliff notes

 

- Colts and Rhodes wanna get a deal done.

- Autry and Carrie are right after Rhodes on the re-sign list

- They believe Ballard's main focus in free agency is to improve the pass rush and that LT makes more sense to address in the draft. 

- Colts would like to get Hilton back, but will allow him to test the market.

- They don't think the colts will bring back Houston and Mohammed.

That is very good news with Rhodes. Carrie is a great leader and provided good depth. Get Autry signed and pick up one more pass rusher in FA.

 

With Wentz here now I hope we get Hilton back. He fits Hilton much better then Rivers. Wentz stretches the field while rivers didn’t. 

 

I think with those moves it upgrades the team a lot. Might even be able to get a WR in the draft just as insurance if Campbell can’t stay on the field.

 

Ballard has had trouble with CB and DE in the draft. He should stick to using FA to address those two positions.

I don't want Houston back as a starter regardless of pay. He's solid; but will likely only decline. 
 

Some people have him projected to get $9-$12 a year on a multi-year deal. I would be shocked if that happened with some many pass rushers available. 
 

I think Trey Hendrickson can be had for $8-$9 million a year and makes more sense.

Hendrickson is a risk though. He's only had one good season.

Jason also tweeted there is mutal interest with the colts and JJ watt.  He said packers were the fav though. He could replace Houston but we are then getting another older guy. I would rather get a younger guy. I hope we can bring back AQM. He is solid and has such a strong motor. But Jason also said it depended on the market in a tweet a while back.

Can you share the tweet?

I don't get how the Packers and Steelers are players in this. Their in cap hell. They can't invest in JJ who is most likely gonna ask for somewhere around 12-15 mil and still fill their roster.

There is always a way if they want the player bad enough. There are rumors that Big Ben might be cut if they can’t come to a agreement on restructuring his contract. That probably would take Watt out of the equation with them not having a QB.

I just don't see it. Imo, their gonna have to gut their team or do a lot of restructuring just to get under the cap let alone fill the needs on their roster.

If there is mutual interest I can see Ballard signing him to replace Houston.  Similar deal like Houston's.  2yr 24 or 26m per. He would play alongside Buckner and avoid double teams.  Neither the Packers or Steelers have the cap space.  If he wants a chance at a SB it's either us or the Titans from that list who can afford him.  He would solve our ER need for sure.  If this is true I'm thinking Ballard surprises us all and he becomes a Colt by the end of the week.

All of this makes perfect sense to me.  If the Colts and Rhodes want to get a deal done I think it happens. I'm expecting Autry and Carrie back as well.  If his focus is ER don't be surprised if he signs Watt soon.  I think we will add a WR1 in FA and draft a LT with our 1st. pick.  All good.

Watt might gain the upper hand if he accepts a one year prove it deal, which wouldn't hender the cap for our big signings next year. Okwara might be wanting a longterm contract.

Okwara will definitely want a long term contract with a lot of guaranteed money.  Watt would only be looking for a two year deal with a contender.  He doesn't have to prove anything.  It's more about getting a ring for him.

Not sure what you are expecting Watt to prove.  He has been an excellent player throughout his career, but he is getting older and might only have a 2-3 years left at a high level.

Watt imo is worth pursuing. Him and Buckner together we be next level.

To old I wanna young pass rusher who can stay for 5 years to team up with Buckner . How long can 32 year old watt stay dominant. If Houston at 32 is to old to resign why is watt good ?  Barrett on the bucs was making 15 million last year and is a free agent. watt would be around the same price why not go after the guy in his 20s instead of a guy turning 33 I’ll take the guy 4 or 5 years younger

I'd be very surprised if Tampa let Barrett hit FA. If they do, he'll get a lot more money than Watt.

 

We'd be crazy not to at least make a run at signing Watt. Denico Autry is a very poor man's JJ Watt. I'd rather pay a little more for Watt than bring Autry back.

Barrett is gonna want atleast 18-20 mil. Ballard isn't paying that.

He is aging and injury prone. I guess saying, prove it deal was not a good statement. At this point he will be in mercenary mode and take 1 yr shots at superbowls. We have to sbisa signings to make next year we dont need and aging injury prone guy cutting into that.

He's the same age as Houston and hes held up pretty well the last two season with no one to take attention away from him.

I don’t know who this guy is?   But I don’t think he has much inside info.   His info sounded much more like opinion than anything else.    I found it all to be very, very meh....

 

No offense....

None taken. I'm mostly passing along information. It does sound valuable to me though. To each his own.

I’m totally good that you recommended people listen.  My not being wild about him has zero impact on your recommendation.  Keep doing that.   I just didn’t find his info well sourced or insightful.  I think it’s mostly opinion.   I don’t feel like I learned anything new or credible that I haven’t read here before. 
 

Just my observation...

    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.     
    • I’d like Crossby!   I really like Mitchell, but I just don’t see more youth being a good thing for our CB room. Even if the Sneed thing is made up I still think we should go for a vet.    I hope we can get Cooper in the 2nd. I’d prefer a WR (or Bowers) at 15, but right now I think we’re looking at DE.    Powers-Johnson looks greats, but of all the things we could do I think OL is probably the least likely at 15.    Lots of needs. Safety is probably the biggest, but I don’t think any of them are worth the 15th overall. 
    • @Solid84   Still holding out hope we trade our R1P15 to LV for Maxx Crosby give them draft capital to move up for their QB.    If we sit at P15, draft CB Quinyon Mitchell.  Latest report seen was the Colts haven't even talked trade for Sneed.  False news, who knows, time will tell?    If Mitchell is gone before P15 then see a trade back and draft WLB Edgerrin Cooper or OL Jackson Powers-Johnson. 
    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
