Would you re-sign Rock after season?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Rock is elgible for a contract extension after the season. Would you re-sign him after season or want to see him do it again next season?

[GoColts8818]

Wait and see.  He could just be having a good year or it’s finally clicked for him.  I’d need to see it again from him.

Id like to re-sign Rock this off-season, but I think it depends on what he’d be asking for?   If it’s a number that we like, then yes.  But if he’s asking for too much at this point, then make him earn it with another good year. 
 

His will be an interesting contract to watch this off-season.

If we wait and he is just as good could cost us more.

I think he’s a guy you take that chance on.  You can’t re-sign everyone a year early.  I also doubt his price is going to go up that much with another good year unless he becomes a shut down corner which I don’t think will happen.

I agree with salary cap keep going up to wait. I like the leadership he is bringing too. Rhodes has played better and seems healthy. I wouldn’t be mad if they brought him back as the vet and continue to split with Rodgers and let Rodgers keep developing.

I don’t see Rhodes back.  He’s been too hurt and he’s not getting any younger and most importantly Rodgers has stepped up.  I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Colts draft a corner with their round two or three picks to protect themselves in case they let Rock go or Rodgers takes a step back.

[CR91]

I'd say wait til the season is over, but Rock has improved dramatically. Teams don't even throw it to him. Ive seen more balls thrown to Kenny

I don't know. LT is still a major need along with getting Wentz more weapons.

Yes LT and WR would probably be in the mix for those spots too as well as Safety and maybe even a pass covering linebacker.  Lots of ways the Colts could go early.  I wouldn’t even rule out another pass rusher if one is there or tightend depending on what happens with Mac and Doyle this off-season.  It all depends on how the draft falls, free agency moves, etc.

[2006Coltsbestever]

CB's are like WR's, it takes 2 or 3 years for them to become good. I would re-sign him but at a reasonable contract. He is a little above average so worth a discussion IMO because he is young. 

[coming on strong]

Rock is very good this year so is Rodgers’s I think we are set at corner now with three young guys just need more depth . I would also resign Bobby O. 

[pgt_rob]

I’d wait on him and see what can be worked out. I like that he’s coming into his own finally but I don’t think he’s a truly great CB just yet. Could depend on the FA market and upcoming draft choices to see if we lock him up.

You’re right, but I’m not ready to give up on Fisher yet either.  
 

A good LT FA is going to cost a bundle.  I’d prefer they keep Fisher and draft a developmental guy in the 3rd.  
 

I also have faith in Ballard, so whichever way he goes is good with me.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I believe rock was only targeted once Saturday and it ended up being a pass breakup.

Oh gosh he is at the end of year 3 too. Forgot about that.

Very true. I’d do the following:

1. FA WR

2. FA TE

3. FA FS

3. Priority draft picks: 

a. LT

b. WR

c. CB

4. Wait on Rock’s extension.

[Fluke_33]

I've always liked him.  Even when he began his career being a bit handsy.  He hits as hard as any cb out there and plays tough.  I think he's really starting to come on.

I'd pay him and I'd even pay a little extra for potential and to show the team that they value their own and pay their own.

[John Hammonds]

Across the board on our CB's, Rock had definitely improved over last year, Rogers has showed up as fairly dependable, Kenny Moore ought to be in the pro bowl, TJ Carrie is sufficient as a backup, but I wouldn't rely on him, and Rhodes is on the downside and is probably not the best CB on the team anymore.

Going into next year, I definitely re-sign Rock (but not to a long contract), bring back Rogers, Moore, and Carrie, and allow Rhodes to walk.  I also want to draft a CB, but will have to see how the draft falls, since we don't have a 1st round, and we also have continuing needs and limited draft opportunities for WR and LT.

If there is a window being established for a team with QB stability, it is now and if there is an off season to go after a few free agents, it is also this one.

I would. He seems to be having a quietly solid year. But I’m not giving him 3-5 years. I’m giving him maybe 2

  I would think they will have full confidence in him going forward.

  And at some point, likely prior to the FA signing period, get some numbers from his agent. And at min. a 4 year deal if they sign him this year or next.

[chickenMan]

What should we do? Idk. What will Ballard do? Likely resign him. Ballard likes giving his own guys money, and it keeps a strong culture. Plus if he plays at a high level again next year, that price tag will go up.

[JediXMan]

Impressive.

[twfish]

I do love how he went from whipping boy to discussing giving him a contract extension a year early. A little bit of patience goes a long way.

[Four2itus]

Nah......just get one from CB's-R-Us. Dime a dozen.....

 

 

 

[IndyD4U]

I'd extend him just given the fact that he has stopped giving his opponents a belly to back suplex. 

[Dark Superman]

100%

kari willis is also  we could wait another year to sign guys because the cap will keep going up each year by 20 million .  i think we still have 60 million next year plus the way ballard structured guys contracts will help lower the cap each year

This is exactly why we shouldn’t rush to sign players earlier than we have to.  This off-season we will have the chance to sign an impactful  FA or two and resign the impending FA’s we don’t want to lose.  The cap will be going up like you said.  No need to use it up unnecessarily.

Geez I didn’t realize we had these 3.  I say wait.

Rock has been MIA recently. And that's a good thing. He's playing well. Give him another chance to get even better in this scheme

[Patrick Miller]

Yes I would re-sign Rock. Dude has been damn good this year. I think it has started to click for him 

[EastStreet]

The longer you wait, the more he will cost. And it's likely he'll just get better.

 

Doubt he'll ask for a king's ransom.

 

He's a keeper, so sign him early if you can get a decent deal. 

[DougDew]

As expected, if he is not asked to cover man to man going deep, he will play much better.  He's a physical zone corner. 

 

If we could get another one with a bit more long speed, the corner position is set...with Moore and Rodgers too.

 

[MikeCurtis]

It would be about the $$ for me

 

He HAS played better and fills a hole for us. 

 

He is a good tackler as well.

 

If he is reasonable $.... you sign him

 

[landrus13]

I'd definitely bring him back. He's been a stud this season.

Not sure our cap space will allow much in the free agent market.
