Predict first non Colts FA signing

[danlhart87 9,253]

I'll say Nelson Agholor 2/16

[2006Coltsbestever 22,626]

Allen Robinson. By the way ESPN is reporting we have a good chance of signing him. It's on Google.

Unless he takes discount i don't see him coming here 

 

You never know though 

[2006Coltsbestever 22,626]

ESPN is predicting TY Hilton will sign with the 49ers and Robinson will sign here. ESPN is a pretty good source, it isn't the Foshinator reporting this stuff

Nah, we have the money to sign him if that is the only FA we sign. Of course re-sign Houston as well and just get better through the draft.

[danlhart87 9,253]

I think Ballard goes after WR and EDGE in FA . It will be interesting who

He's apparently getting 16m offer

I love Watt but that's too much for me

I would rather sign Robinson and re-sign Houston but Watt is intriguing.

What would you project contract wise 

[richard pallo 2,977]

We will have a better chance of guessing after the tags are finalized. 

[NewColtsFan 9,770]

Antonio Villanueva.  OT

 

2/25m.   Maybe 3/40m.

 

[NewColtsFan 9,770]

By the way, it would be better if a poster — any poster — would simply say that (name a person) of ESPN says....   etc. etc. etc. 

 

Because ESPN literally has dozens of people who comment on the NFL.   The Network as a whole does not make any such predictions.   People who work for the network make these predictions.   Big difference.

If the OT class sucked i would be ok with this but it doesn't 

 

Hope we get LT in draft

[stitches 8,702]

I would just go with some under the radar guy on a bargain contract... those seem to be the types Ballard goes for. Or someone who was released before FA starts(so it wouldn't count towards compensatory picks formula).

 

So... I will wait for the cuts to start and pick one of those then... 

[Thunderbolt 459]

Romeo Okwara or JJ?

I want a LT too.    But I'm not sure we will get one tht is ready to go on Day 1.    Do you want Carson Wentz to have to perform with a below average rookie LT?      I don't think so.     I still expect to draft one.    But that guy may need some time, like a year or so.

 

[Orioles22 297]

Kelly, Nelson and Smith did OK from Day 1. I just don't see the Colts spending money on a left tackle. I think we draft one and he starts.

I'm not seeing any reporting on that though, just predictions, which is different

[funktacious2 477]

I'm thinking OT or WR feels most likely. I think Villanueve feels most likely but someone else said that so I'll go with:

 

Trent Williams OT 2/3 years.

 

We could definitely not get an OT in free agency, but I'm starting to feel there is a good chance. Just from where we are at as a team and the lack of sure-thing day 1 starters at 21 or later, I could see us prioritizing getting on in FA and taking one at 1 or 2 to develop.

Trent will want top dollar

No way 4 guys on the command top dollar 

 

Its more like we do cheap vet or rookie

So? Haha. Let's pretend AC didn't retire and that instead he is entering FA this year. You'd rather let him walk just because 4 contracts on top shelf lineman seems like too much? 2-3 years isn't a long-term investment and I think we can afford it anyways.

Are you comfortable with the majority of our cap going to one group cause I'm not

 

I think Kelly and Glow are replaceable down the road but Smith and Q deserve to come back. 

 

Sportrac projected a 4/72 TW to 49ers

 

Thats 18m plus similar to what Q will get and I'm guessing 14m or so Smith

 

Thats almost 60m for 3 guys

 

No thanks

What would you think contract would look like

 

 

[ColtV 337]

Solomon Thomas. 1 year deal.

[Hoose 1,257]

Romeo Okwara. Gotta upgrade the pass rush or its going to be open season on the Colts' pass D.

Almost $60m for 3 guys?

 

Q might be $18m per.

Smith might be $14m per

TW might be $18m per (I’ll believe that when it happens.)

 

My math says $50m for 3 guys. 

If you add Kelly at $12.5 then you’re at 62.5 for 4 players.  
 

I think the odds of Ballard going after Williams at those kind of numbers are incredibly small.   That would not be a Ballard-like signing.

Samuel is projected 11 per year
