You can only carry 90 on the roster right now, right?

 

I'm not sure how many we have currently.  I think we have two more to sign from the draft class.

With Butler being waived and the signing of Antwaun Woods, Eric Fisher, and the two draft picks we have 91. 

 

So before those are all done one more fella will be cut.......

I can't see any of the UDFAs making it this year. The roster is too deep and/or has players we've invested draft picks in recently at the depth. 

Only two options being Deon Jackson at RB or Tyler Vaughns at WR and probably ONLY if there is an injury or a trade!

IMO Deon Jackson is the one that has the best chance. It's possible we take him over Wilkins whose contract expires at the end of the year. Plus he got the biggest signing bonus if I'm not mistaken...

I agree on Jackson. I could see him taking Wilkins' spot or even Mack's if he isn't able to return to form after recovering from the injury. And yea, he had the highest signing bonus.

And just like clockwork.......OL Sam Jones was cut to get the roster to 90!

From colts.com:

 

The Indianapolis Colts today waived center/guard Sam Jones.

 

Jones, 6-5, 290 pounds, was originally signed to the Indianapolis practice squad on December 30, 2020. He participated in the Arizona Cardinals' 2020 offseason program and training camp. Jones spent the entire 2019 season on the Cardinals practice squad. As a rookie in 2018, he played in five games with the Denver Broncos. Jones was originally selected by the Broncos in the sixth round (183rd overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.

I think I pay pretty close attention to the roster.  Closer than most here.  


But I don’t mind freely admitting that I had no idea we had a player named Sam Jones — NO IDEA — on our roster?!?   Honestly,  I’m guessing he’s in the Federal Witness Protection Program and he was hiding in plain sight on our roster.  We’re releasing him today because it will naturally be lost with all the noise and excitement over the schedule release!  No one will notice.   No one will ever know....

 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!   :peek:

I didn't know who he was either. Colts do that the second half the regular season - sign young players they've seen something promising in to future contracts and try them out. Glowinski was one such player. We claimed him off waivers after he was released by the Seahawks in December. He trained in our building in the off-season, made the team and by game 6 of the next season he was starting. From then on it's all history, as they say... 

 

Now if you follow how many of those we sign toward the end of the year(many... around 10+ players every year), you would be justified in not paying attention to any specific one. Some turn into Glowinski, but most turn into... *checks notes* ... Sam Jones.

Yeah, he tried to make a comeback after doing that horrible Flash Gordon movie.  
 

But, alas, it didn’t work out….

    • 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.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.
