Daniel Jeremiah just said on NFL network he doesn’t understand why the Colts sitting a 4 in the draft order have not called the Ravens and offered the pick and next  year’s 1st for LaMar.  He doesn’t get it.


Im a DJ fan, but I think that perspective is beyond lame.   Very disappointing.

Broncos are my 2nd team and I live in Colorado, so I'm loving this. I want to go to a game this year.

 

While I think it is an exciting time, I am not a fan of free agency. I value the draft a lot more. I like to draft good players, develop them and re-sign them. I would sign free agents only to supplement my team. I think signing offensive linemen is important. So, I like the Broncos moves.

Question: If no one signs Lamar Jackson, does he automatically gets signed to the Ravens? 

He would still have to sign his tender since he was franchise tagged. His other option is not signing it and sitting out.

He will need to sign his tag, which ties him to the Ravens for one more year at salary of about 32-33M if I'm not mistaken...

I generally like FA for two things. 1.) To build around a young franchise QB (Trevor Lawrence Jags last year) or 2.) To fill needs 

 

We are doing the latter on the Broncos and I love it.

Huh? 
 

The Colts sign free agents every year.   Just not typically in the first few weeks.   

You know what I mean, but I’ll further elaborate. The Colts signing or trading for any big name players and not just depth/rotational players will be a surprise to me. I only expect depth and resigning their own guys.

Because Ballard would be stupid to do that

Lamar would still have to sign the tag, which he probably wouldn't do until a few days before the regular season begins to avoid as much injury risk as possible.

T J Edwards of Eagles takes a lot of bad angles, not sure what the Bears saw in him. It’s their loss, Eagles won’t miss him.

 

Rodgers or Garropolo, that’s what the Jets will finalize today

The Walmart Broncos are wheeling and dealing. Not surprised. They're flailing about hoping something works after watching the Chiefs win over and over and over and over and over...


Next, they’ll ask Russell Wilson to give them a Walmart style rollback with his contract :)

When Ballard has spent money in free agency (rare, but not never) he has spent it well.   Justin Houston, Stephon Gilmore, Denico Autry.    

Id like to see him do it more often.   But he’s almost never in the first wave of signings.   Even the three names I mentioned were not early, in fact Houston and Gilmore were in April. 
 

I’m not expecting him to change and suddenly spend big money.    I only wish he’d sign more of the medium and inexpensive players than he normally does.

Not too much. It is a good deal for the Raiders. I wish my team had such a deal with our QB. 

 

The best news about my team is that an extension for Cousins is not imminent. I hope that is true. His contract is killing us.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.

      By twfish · Posted

      Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
