People create thier own frustration, because they refuse to simply listen to what the Colts have already told them. They have said repeatedly they arent gonna bring in a bunch of free agents. You can like it or not, but complaining about it is just a waste of energy. It doesnt make someone naive because they actually listen to whats being said and adjust their expectations.

 

I think the person expecting the Colts to do the exact opposite of what they tell everyone they will do is the person being naive.

 

 

 

Who is this game changer you wanted them to sign today?

I'll answer this. Release Matt Ryan and sign Jacobi Myers and Issac Seumalo. There's two starters on offense to help your young franchise QB.

And you have made a number of them over the last year. I don't want to go down this road with you because I think a lot of you as a poster but you just started it with your 2nd sentence. I don't want to derail the thread. I think you are just annoyed with me because I haven't been kissing Ballard's butt like I usually do. Also I am usually positive but to be honest I don't like the road this team is going down right now. 

the road you take where there are examples of bad takes by each of you usually ends in falling off the broken half bridge while looking for the potholes each other fell on.

One thing we did have was Luck though and the leadership of Reggie and Mathis in 2012. TY Hilton was the one huge hit Grigs had as well, that really helped.

Grigson and Ballard were both GMs that lacked in certain areas. Grigson had his franchise QB and knew to sign FAs around him, he was just bad at FA and the draft. Ballard is great at drafting, but he didn't have a franchise qb on a rookie deal until this year, and he's not signing FAs around him. 

 

Unfortunately, we don't have the perfect GM in two tries the last 11 years.

I hope so. But the franchise is in very uncertain place right now

There really is no one to sign today. I wouldn’t have wanted any of these players so far.

I wanted to sign Mike McGlinchey, but he got WAAAAAY more than we would have offered.

[RollerColt]

The Bears have had a good offseason so far. Fleeced the Panthers into thinking we were going for the 1 so they possibly panicked, got Moore who should at least be decent of a weapon for Fields, picked up some hefty defensive players… 

 

Usually it all means nothing but we’ll see.

Nobody. But he’ll go the whole off-season without making an impactful move. It’s clear that his methods of operations are not working. I used to be his biggest fan but I’m tired of him.

The Bears offered him $18.5 million a year, and he signed with the Broncos for $17.5 million a year. So he took a slight discount to go to Denver.

I read a report where quarterback Matt Corall could be available in trade from the Panthers.  He was a 3rd round pick last year who missed the entire season due to a Lisfranc injury in the preseason.  He had a very good career at Ole Miss.  If we want to double down on a young quarterback I think he would be a great candidate.  Definitely a better prospect than Sam imo and he probably could be acquired for a player or a mid rd pick.

I heard the price would be very low for him. We might be able to get him for something as cheap as a 5th round pick for Corral and a 6th.

I just try and keep it real. I love to stay positive and I love to talk about our history of winning. As of now = 2023, this isn't looking to promising, I hate to say it. I hope I am wrong. We need a QB, we need upgrades on the O.Line, we need another strong Pass Rusher, and we need a deep threat at WR. I think if we signed a guy like Lamar and signed that Guard from Philly that would be a start. We need to cut Matt Ryan and Foles both. I can name only 5 QB's that are legit better than Lamar Jackson = Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Hurts, and maybe Herbert but even Herbert hasn't proven that much. Lawrence stock is rising.

I’m low-key excited to see Domann get some defensive reps

 

was very solid on ST and had that coverage hybrid S/LB profile coming out even being compared to guys like Milano

 

we could do a lot worse.

That would be a good signing. @NewColtsFan Shadow_Creek would like former Stanford  Cardinal Dalton Schultz to be a Colt.

I dont think either of those guys are significant signings.

[Defjamz26]

Okereke got paid. 4 years $40 million. With him and Leonard, that would have been $30 million a year to our LBs.

Ok. But I still dont understand what you expected today.

If you think that, then you have no knowledge of football of other teams. Myers would be the immediate slot starter on the Colts and our second-best receiver, and Seumalo would be our starting RG. This is how you build a team. After this, release Kelly, Mac, and Foles, and there's your extra cap space for all the depth signings and re-signing your own. Add some draft picks, and the franchise QB actually has a chance to succeed. 

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Per Yahoo Okereke to Giants 4 years $40m

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Nine hours later and no signings. Lmao Personally I wouldn’t of wanted any so far.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts would rather and bring Parris back then Meyers. We should bring Parris back and go sign pascal again.

All the best, EK. Kendricks was one of my favorite Vikings.

Sure Jared. You cant even spell the dudes name right. Its Jakobi Meyers. I atleast know how to spell the mans name. But go ahead and take your shots at me, I dont really care.

You know how to spell his name, yet you've probably never seen him play. It's pretty obvious you don't watch many games outside of the Colts. Sorry. It is what it is.

Wonder if colts are trying to secure another backup before they cut Ryan. Personally if the rookie is going to start and Foles wants to stay I would rather have that because it won’t cost any extra money.

Again, why on earth would you trade the future on a guy who can’t play but half a season?!

If this is true, I'd just trade for Corral. Cut Ryan and Foles afterward. Open up your cap space, and you can draft a franchise QB. Heck, sign Brett Rypien and you have 4 QBs with QB at 4, Corral, Sam and Rypien to battle for the starting job. I literally thought of this in less than a minute.

[NFLfan]

Is Matt Ryan and Nick Foles still on the Colts? When I was checking the list of QBs taking up the highest cap space, Kirk Cousins was 4th and I believe Matt Ryan was 5th or 6th.

Id love it.   Always liked him.   But I don’t see how that happens?   The Colts only have $12m + and I don’t see tight end as the position where the Colts spend the most in free agency.   
 

This is the least cap space any Chris Ballard team has ever had at the start of free agency by far.   I know the Colts will make moves, but until they do,  I don’t know what the Colts will do?

I mean, we could cut Matt Ryan and Nick Foles. If only that were possible...
