I pretty much always thought what this article addresses.

Coyer wasn't so much of a problem. His hands were tied.

For all the excellent things Bill did for this franchise, he also did a few things that brought us to where we are now.

amen to that

Definitely agree as well.

I would love getting Green in the 4th instead of Fleener in the 34th spot. Unless we're planning on using the 2 TE set like the Pats which I would then like to get Fleener AND Green.

I would rather get Jenkins at 34 and Green in 4th which would take care of two needs and add good talent

I think if the Colts don't manage to get Fleener, Shiancoe is definitely worth a look (I'm not saying I want to sign him, but he's good).

So you think he is good; you think we should look at him; but you don't think we should sign him?

They said Peyton would retire a Colt Freeney will leave.

I won't. E shocked at all if he leaves. It he could also re-sign an extention too but it is stupid to pay him this much for a one year deal in a rebuild mode. I could see the team kicking the tires during training camp and how he fits in. If he doesn't fit the scheme or he pouts about it, then u have to do whats best for the team and let him go. 19 mil is too much cap space and 14 mil is over priced. Base salary.

As the article says 19 million is way too much for what Freeney provides and hes killing the 2012 cap.

Pulled up the FA tracker before reading this to look at TE avail. Ones left either have a lot of years in the league, let go for a reason being age or money. Or they are fairly young, but obiously (?) didn';t make an impression on the powers that be. Would just as soon pick up someone in draft though not a lot available, but some in middle rounds.

Green would be a good pickup and better than using the 34th on Fleener IMO, but I don't think there is anyway on Earth that Grigson will pick Jenkins, even if he fell to the 5th rd..

if hes smart he will take a chance, we seriously need a shutdown Corner and we dont have that now

I wonder why no teams have bit on Shianco?

I am pretty sure that Fleener will not be there at the 34th pick and if they could bring a veteran in with good hands before the draft than the Colts could focus on filling the other posts that need filled.

At this point, it's probably the other way around.

Focus on the draft, and use the post draft FA period to fill in positions of need.

Though that doesn't happen if Freeney's contract doesn't get renegotiated, which I still think will happen.

I think he's good and the Colts should take him in for workouts. He may be good, but it doesn't mean he'll fit in well in our new offense. That's what I mean by "take a look."

    • I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.
    • There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.  
    • You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video.   It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
    • Ballard should have never cut him. I want Ogletree on the team as well considering charges were dropped (I believe), but his whole fiasco with his fiance where battery might have been involved was way more of a sensitive topic and understandable of being cut for than Rodgers friend betting 1k on his account on a Colts run stat over/under. That's the worse thing Rodgers was found guilty of, and now we have Colts fans trying to convince themselves we need a RD1 CB pick after 3 were chosen in last year's draft...    He did a podcast detailing what he bet on with Franklin and Speed in case others haven't seen it. Much ado about nothing imho and it's obvious the locker room still like him/didn't think he was negatively trying to affect the outcome of games, and they would know best on that over anyone.
