Correct.  Prior to the 2018 draft, he was discussed quite a bit on this board.  Several people on here (including me), wanted Colts to use a mid to late round pick him.  Very talented kid from Miami that flashed a lot of talent at Florida.  Probably could have been a late 1st rd or 2nd rd pick without the off field issues. 

 

He is still only 25 and this is low risk signing.  Hopefully he has his life together.

 

 

 

  This is a good place for him to get some work in.
 Someone surely vouched for him to CB for him to be here.
  I wish him the best and hope he makes it to camp.
  He definitely has Sunday skills.

Some huge red flags while in college and mainly failed drug tests in the NFL.

I wouldn't be against it since I do think our WR room is too young and we need a vet plus a teacher to Pitt and Pierce on getting on the same page quicker with Ryan. My only pause is playing time because I don't want Julio taking too many snaps away from Pierce. Injuries are a concern obviously, but imo this would be more of a mentor move.

Maybe a lighter work load would help him with injuries. I also saw a verified tweet earlier that said Julio could also be moved to the slot and it might extend his career. When with the titans though they run the ball so much I would think he had a lifhrrr work load there though. But I think we have more weapons all around then titans had.

We are now down to Jones and TY. A ton of smoke around Julio. I get giving Ryan a familiar face. But it would be sad for TY to go. At this point they are both aging Injured a lot WR so doesn’t matter which one. But TY is a colt. 

Now that we’re down to injured receivers they should be bringing in Will Fuller as well.  He’s much younger than these two and is a very fast deep threat that could play the slot.  He would be my preferred choice right now.  It sure looks like it’s going to be Julio though.

TBH I would rather put the money towards signing Bradberry than sniffing two old receivers.  I could live with our current receivers if it meant securing Bradberry.  Would rather have him out there game three versus Mahomes than TY or Julio.

Just thinking out loud….     But…

It’s also possible that Galloway has successfully gone thru drug rehab.   That might be a pre-condition for teams giving him a look see.   That would not surprise me at all.

Boom!   I’m with you, 100 percent on this one!

 

I’m fully on board Team Bradberry right now.   There are a small bunch of veterans I’d like us to sign at a modest price….   But there’s only one I’d like to get into an actual bidding war on…..

 

James Bradberry.   Goodness, if we could pair him up with Gilmore and Moore as our starting corners we’d be a little bit scary!   Rogers and Facyson as our 4th and 5th corners?   Yes, please!!  
 

Now we’d be talking all in!

Yeah, I guess I’m 100% in on him too. I imagine if we do sign him and they still want WR help, then it’ll be Jones to reunite with Ryan for a year. Put him in the slot and be done. 

[IrsaysArmy]

I too am ALL In on getting Bradberry. What a defense we’d have.

It would make sense. Ryan kinda brushes off questions about Julio.

Frank’s comments gives me hope that they could seriously be looking at Bradberry as an addition.  The Saints went all in signing Honey Badger and now Landry.  Hopefully the Colts do the same and sign Bradberry.

[John Waylon]

Not sad to see Landry going elsewhere. I’d rather have Bradberry anyways.

I don't see where Frank even mentioned Bradberry...he references Foles.

He mentioned they are always looking at every position to see if there is a candidate to upgrade.  He didn’t have to mention Bradberry by name.  He was specifically asked about Foles though.  But he mentioned they never stop looking to upgrade everywhere on the roster.

I would like Bradberry too but you always seem to read into statements a little too far...but that's ok, it's nice to dream.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It was fun hearing from the rookies and Reich today. I want football to start so bad.

 

Stephen Holder and Zak Keefer had a intreview with Reich that will be on their podcast next week. They had Hines on last week and it was a very fun interview.

Honestly, do I think it will happen?   No.  
A long shot.   But I’d certainly like to make it interesting.   If someone wants to out-bid us for him — ok.   But I want to make it hard for him to go elsewhere.   
 

I don’t expect us to offer more than we’re paying Gilmore, but maybe close.    I think Gilmore is getting 9 or 9 1/2 this year,  so I’d like to think we’re offering 8 + for him. 
 

But it’s probably just one of my pipe dreams.  I’m not counting on this to happen.

I want him too. Makes sense. If Gillmore were to get injured...we would be very thin at CB.

We can only hope right.  If we really did inquire about trading for him then we were definitely interested so that should keep the door open.  I agree with you on the dollars so hopefully he views us as a contender and the money falls into place for us and him.

So he should just retire? Because no matter what team he goes to, he has to build chemistry with the QB.

Some guys just aren’t willing to play for cheap.  That’s what happened to Marvin after the Colts released him.  Miami wanted him but he wasn’t willing to play for below what he thought his value was.

[CR91]

 

 

[NewColtsFan]

For what it’s worth… 

 

NFL.com is reporting the Landry deal is for one year and up to $6 million.   The key words being “up to”, which implies he needs to reach the incentives in order to max out his deal.  
 

At this point in the off-season, most free agents are hoping for 50 cents on the dollar, and most get less.   There are some exceptions, Fisher was last year,  but not many.   Bradberry could be one for somebody this year.  Hoping it’s the Colts.

Regarding Pierce, it was just dehydration. It was 90 degrees here yesterday. A bit of an over reaction when the guy wasn't even injured. Pretty much like some saying Leonard doesn't love the game anymore which is so comical that even Homer Simpson knows that is a pile of nonsense.
