TEs still left in Free Agency

[BProland85]

Both Jeremy Shockey and Visante Schenco are still out there and we all know at least 1 TE needs to be added. Are they worth a shot?

[Nobody]

Depends on our draft plans.

[Gavin]

I dont think so, we can get Ladarius Green in the 4th

[bahhummbug]

No need to rush ATM not much will happen before draft.Then between draft and season opener plenty of FAs will be available.Think we should wait til we DROP FREENEY LIKE A HOT TATER:)

[Gavin]

I've come to the conclusion were keeping Freeny

[Captain Americolt]

Rather get Charles or Allen or Green than those two. In that order

[Andy]

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).

[MTC]

Wont happen due to the cap.

[Slick_Rick]

I personally dislike Shockey. I wouldn't mind having Shiancoe, but I really don't see a point in getting either one of them.

Mmmmm hot taters, especially with seasoned salt, butter and sour cream.

Hmm now Im hungry for some tacos

[Coltswarriors]

Yes.. they've already came out and said that he's not being traded/released/cut/whatever. He's staying.

Where have you been? LOL

[Gavin]

We should go for Green in the 4th, ya all know were probably all off on our picks and we probably get several small school guys we never heard of right? yeah yeah I know nervousness is kicken in for me their players I want that we can get I think

Tacos are pretty darn good.

Oh, who am I foolin', I enjoy Taco Bell periodically.

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.

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

[bahhummbug]

They said Peyton would retire a Colt Freeney will leave.

[Gavin]

Ill beleive it when I see it that he will be here that is a huge cap hit for only one year left at his age

[pac2]

Mid round pick up for a good receiving tight end is Egnew from Missouri. Seen him play, comes from a spread offense, good receiver.

[ColtJ82]

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?

[jwilli69]

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.

[Coltman51]

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.

Ladarius Green

Yeah, but those contracts are made with the intent to renegotiate in the last year.

There's still time for that.

[Balzer40]

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..

[Keith L. Scott]

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.

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

[Balzer40]

I, myself wouldn't mind taking a chance on the kid, but just judging from Grigson's words, he won't take that chance.

[Coltswarriors]

Uhh no... What source are you referring to? One from January LOL? Most recent news is that Grigson & Irsay have said Freeney isn't going anywhere. And he isn't.

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.

[Andy]

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

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."

[El Poonerator]

In his press conference last week, Grigson said he was basically done with the Free Agent market.

[WesurehavesomeLuck]

we are definitely going to get a TE via draft. not saying during the draft. we might get an undrafted TE
