Colts Interested in Jarvis Landry?

Coming off an injury plagued year, may be cheap.  If healthy, he’s a good veteran addition.  Sorely needed in that WR room.  
 

 


If Steichen wants him — then fine.   But otherwise, I hope we pass.   He’s one of my least favorite receivers of the last 6-8 years.   I think he’s hugely overrated and, for a number of years, badly overpaid. 
 

So I hope this report doesn’t pan out.   But if the Colts sign him, I’ll support the move.
 

In Steichen I trust.

Note that this is NOT a sourced info. This is something a "former NFL executive" thought might be within Colts' interests...

 

"Former NFL executive" knows nothing about Ballard... 

 

Maybe.    But you don’t know who the former exec is and don’t know what he may know about Ballard.

I seriously doubt that Colts would even "kick the tires" on Jarvis Landry.  He is a free agent for a reason.  If he still had "the juice" - he would have been signed in the first week of free agency - and - we're nearing the end of the second week.

 

Additionally - we just signed Isaiah McKenzie - who I feel has better upside than Jarvis Landry - at this point in his career - or lack thereof.

I think there’s  2 maybe 4 weapons I would trade from 35 to the 1st rd for….. TEs from Georgia and Notre Dame, J Gibbs, zay flowers and tank Dell 

Colts have 4 TE's, Flowers and Dell might( at least one of them) will be available in the 2nd round.  Would like to see Schmidt, Avila, Mauch OL/C players, or a CB at 35.  JMO on this, and add trading up from #80 using Moore and a pick will still be possible for a good WR.

Pierce

Pittman

Landry

 

That would be a legit top three.  Not gonna lie the injuries with Landry concern me but he is productive.  Colts would be free to not sweat WR unless one they love falls to them.

 

If they get their QB at the top that is a group that gives him quality options.  So I could see it.

I don’t expect another move at WR unless a superstar just falls in their lap which I don’t see happening.  I think they will continue to develop Pittman and Alec as 1 and 2 and let McKenzie and Dulin fighting it out for the number three/slot role.  Ballard likes the Colts receiver group and I think views the biggest issue with their lack of production being the QB position and them being young and needing to learn. The later doesn’t apply as much to Pittman but he was also the most successful of the receivers last year.

The FA WR market is pretty thin.  A lot of guys heading into their 30s, no impact players besides OBJ.  And he’s a big question mark.  Maybe Golladay or Robbie Anderson are the best available?
 

I wonder if K’neal Harry could revive his career.  He’s still young and had a lot of potential.   Probably be cheap too.

    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.     
    • I’d like Crossby!   I really like Mitchell, but I just don’t see more youth being a good thing for our CB room. Even if the Sneed thing is made up I still think we should go for a vet.    I hope we can get Cooper in the 2nd. I’d prefer a WR (or Bowers) at 15, but right now I think we’re looking at DE.    Powers-Johnson looks greats, but of all the things we could do I think OL is probably the least likely at 15.    Lots of needs. Safety is probably the biggest, but I don’t think any of them are worth the 15th overall.
