I don't think him being a vegan has anything to do with it.

There are quite a few NFL players that are vegan including Tom Brady. 

 

Close, but not yet.

Fuller is an idea fit for this team. Can play zone or man

That would be crazy. With all the money that has already been spent, he would have to take a huge pay cut!

I wouldn’t count on his cut being huge.

 

Theres still a lot of money out there, and someone will still give him a good respectable offer.   Maybe even the Colts.   He’ll take a hair cut, but it won’t be a buzz cut, if you follow my meaning?!

Potential Bears Cap casualty. They are struggling to make this 4pm deadline it seems 

 

 

 

[CardiacColts]

I’m interested in exploring a hypothetical. It seems the Bears certainly still have cuts to make; however, if they decide that Fuller (11 mil savings) is too valuable to lose with Rodgers in the division, that cut could theoretically end up being Akiem Hicks (11.5 mil savings) instead. If that ends up being the case, what would everyone’s thoughts be on making him a Colt? I am intrigued by the potential.

Hicks is a DT, where the Colts have Buckner and Stewart.    Where would he play?   He’s too good to be a rotation piece.

Completely valid point. I suppose I am just looking at where potential cuts could add affordable value. We always seem to keep a lot of depth along the DL.

As @NewColtsFan said not sure he could beat out DeFo or Grover

Yes...    depth on the DL is key.  
 

But Hicks would want starter money to be our backup.   Too expensive.   And I like Hicks.  If we had a need that would be different...

Makes sense. I thought maybe depth if there isn’t a market for him at his age. Just trying to be objective. Personally, I hope it’s Fuller who is cut, and I hope we go after him!

Please, only let this be true once he is released. Please, please, please do not trade for him...

Front runners to sign as a free agent?   Or to make a trade?   THAT is the question.

No. Only thing reported was that was the expectation. Nothing happened.

That was someone else, whose name currently escapes me. 

[CardiacColts]

I will not be super thrilled if we trade for him. Not worth a pick, and definitely not to take on his contract. If he is released, sure, why not.

Wouldn’t mind a player swap or a 5th round! But yeah nothing more.

I hope everyone calls their bluff and just waits for him to be released. It’s not an if, it’s a when.

John Brown signs with the Raiders for basically peanuts, 3.75 million. Don't know about Ballard's "looking for good deals" when a great one who wanted to come here walks right past..

The Bilks yesterday signed WR Emanuel Sanders.    Is that who you were thinking of?

No as @CR91 alluded to there was a report of a Ertz trade yesterday 

[HoosierHero]

I feel like this free agency is telling us that the Colts are betting on their young talent this year.

Great one?    Really?   
 

There are a dozen top WR’s still on the market.   We didn’t need to jump on 31 year old John Brown.   

[Colts_Fan12]

kinda hope Ertz goes to the bills or panthers lol I'm not a fan of him coming here 

[CR91]

 

[Indeee]

The Cardinals just signed AJ Green and that literally makes no sense whatsoever... That is bonkers

Looks like it is a one year deal

Thanks

[TonyBungee]

Now that NE took the top 2 TEs off the market, I'll be shocked if Eagles cut Ertz.  Someone will give up a 4th or 5th for him.

[richard pallo]

Since the Bears need to find space how about they recind the tag on Allen Robinson.
