Reminder Colts are not a attractive destination right now.

Neither were the Patriots last FA offseason and they had no problem signing players. FA players did not even know who their QB was going to be at the time.

They have BB and are much more respected.

If Saints get Watson, will Sean Payton come out of retirement? Valid question.

I would say that Payton is one of the more "on-script" play callers and HCs, and Watson is one of the more non-scripted and improvising QBs.  Seems like oil and water to me, but you never know.

Ballard & Reich are also respected around the league. Hard knocks probably helped a little too

Agreed, and it would definitely help the Colts if we can sign/acquire a QB that players want to play for sooner rather than later.

Or SF telling potential suitors that they are willing to wait.  Meaning, JGs price goes up if you wait us out to trade for him, because if you do, JG will be your only option by then.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

For instance that tweet above. Would he rather play in Vegas with Carr or a team with no QB.

I would have tried keeping them. Man that could have been a nightmare Match up

No to Landry! He’s on the downside of his career!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pay him

I really don’t think Ballard knows how to work FA.

I don’t expect Ballard to change his strategy, expecting him to spend big is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Overall, I wouldn't expect anything different from Ballard. He has a process and he will hold steadfast to that process.

 

I'm actually not too worried about it. Irsay hired him to build the team and Ballard should have the opportunity to follow through on his vision on how this team should be built, without succumbing to internal and external pressure.

 

In the end, he should be judged by the actions he's taken and not taken.

These are hilarious

Mitch T to the Steelers is strange. I doubt he's starter material for them and they already have 2 back ups. Well, he's better than Rudolph..

[stitches]

This might sound weird but... as long as we don't do anything stupid at QB, I'm good with not being super aggressive in FA. 

[DougDew]

Our 70 mil looks like a lot, but its created by not having very many expensive players under contract.  Hardly any spots on offense are even filled.

Looks like the Bengals are intent on protecting the QB who took them to the Super Bowl!

2 year deal suggests they are open to the possibility of Trubisky being there long term if he does well in year 1, IMO.

Good signing for the bungls.  They are becoming my second favorite team, and a team to follow and root for.

[chad72]

Colts should go with Fitzpatrick. Not afraid to stretch the field and would be glad to hand it off to JT as a stop gap QB. For what it is worth, Fitzpatrick had a better rating than Jimmy G and Mitch Trubisky in 2020, the last full season he played.

Looking at the money random guards are getting... 20M could be within reach for Q.

Have we signed Armstead yet?

No, but we bought an armchair.
