Discussion/news of Free Agent Signings 2022

[danlhart87]

It's almost that time 

Free Agency is coming soon 

 

Let's keep all the signings and discussions about contracts here

 

Any last minute predictions?

@NFLfancan we pin this thread 

[buccolts]

You need to change the title, though, no?

[danlhart87]

Why

[danlhart87]

Here's my first prediction 

 

Texans Jaguars and Titans all make a big FA move before Colts and about 75% of the forum loses its mind

Cause it's free agency(?)

The draft isn't for a few weeks yet (?)

My prediction: people will complain whoever is signed as QB.  Some just have to be negative no matter what. 

[danlhart87]

I would like Kirk

Christian that is

I know, we could trade for Carr, sign Armstead and Robinson and there will be some on here saying Carr isn't worth it, Armstead is injury prone eventhough technically he is arguably the best LT in football, and Robinson is too expensive but yet the only good WR we have is Pittman. Yet we missed the playoffs last year so some are content with that  . I have patience but when you haven't won a playoff game in 4 years, something isn't right so it is time to spend some money and make key moves. In life if you don't try then you will never succeed. If we sign those guys or trade and fail, at least we tried. We are 70 Mill under the Salary Cap right, 70 Mill - time to roll the dice.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am one of the most patient people in here and even have accused our fans of being spoiled but after a while losing gets old. Take some chances Ballard, that is why we got you in here. Hell Matt Ryan would give us 11 wins  .

It’s gonna be hard to fill the shoes of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. Unless Carr or whoever we get ends up with us in the Super Bowl, most fans are gonna say whoever it is , wasn’t worth it

Ryan gets a raw deal, he has been one of the best QB's over the last 10 years - in the top 10 each year. He is as good as Matt Stafford is, they are pretty even. Rams put a team around Stafford and he won a SB. You are right because we had Peyton and then Andrew, everyone will look at guys like Jimmy G as average. In realithy Jimmy is actually good.

Jimmy is above average

On a scale 1 to 10 Jimmy is 6.25

You had me right up to the last sentence. Jimmy COULD be good, he’s slightly above average, which is where Wentz is.  The difference between the two is Jimmy doesn’t seem to crack under pressure like Wentz does. 
 

that said, Jimmy G can’t stay healthy. I’m not sure he’s even ever played every game of a season . Combine that with a surgery in his THROWING shoulder and we’d be better off bringing Curtis Painter out of retirement

If I had one game to win and you gave me a choice between Jimmy or Carson, I am taking Jimmy. I have never once said that Jimmy is elite or anything but with a good roster around him he always has a chance of winning. Carson like Tannehill will just find dumb ways to lose.

If that is his market he will pick colts because he doesn’t have chance to start on the other teams.

If it is Mariota I could see Ballard really spending the cap space on top tier FA’s to really fill some big holes; LT, ER, WR.

It looks like he has ties to FR(drafted and played for the Eagles) and spent a little time with GB(was a Raider during the 2021 off season)

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Spend some money Ballard.

Can FA start already please?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We are letting a lot of our FA test FA. Rumor was they wanted Turay back on a cheap deal. He is a guy that I think someone is going to pay a little for. I hope we can keep him. I think he is going to blow up and play well.

[danlhart87]

I would like Turay back on cheap deal
