Bring back RYS?

Recommended Posts

What are peoples general thoughts on bringing back RYS? I wonder why he is still out there as a FA?

I know we traded him for Ngakoue, so we might not have thought all that much of him internally, but his season before we traded him was solid. Not amazing, but solid. And considering that we just traded away Gilmore for a bag of peanuts, why not bring him back into the fold to start opposite Rodgers on the outside? You cant't tell me he isn't an upgrade over Dallis Flowers or Tony Brown...

Rock played well his last year with the Colts.  I would be happy to see him return. Rock did have some unkind words about the Colts leadership on the way out.  Rock, Peters, and Griffin are still out there.  
 

Rock is visiting Baltimore. The Colts had interest in Griffin a couple of years ago. He played his best in a cover-3 scheme.  Ballard definitely had nothing but positive things to say about Rock so it’s possible but I think they sign Griffin.

I was away on vacation when Rock was traded.    Do you remember what negative things he had to say when he was traded?   I’d be very curious.   That hasn’t happened much under Ballard.

Basically said they got complacent and let off the gas. He said he was excited to join the Raiders because that wouldn’t happen there.

Well they did go 6-11 so I wouldn't call them exactly being complacent and holding down the gas? 

Just saying.  :dunno:

After trading him in the prime of his career? Bad look...pass

Actually, he’s just entering his prime. Rock is a good player.  He cut his penalties the last year with the Colts. Solid tackler. He doesn’t produce a lot of turnovers though.

I’d rather , sign another vet and draft someone in the second round. RYS was very raw and often penalized a lot because he played very aggressive. Although he was injured for most of his tenure with Oakland when he did play it wasn’t that well. 

he was another ballard flub

    • I think Haliburton playing on the Olympic team is going to help his growth tremendously.     I know we are going to be a tough out whenever, wherever we play for the next few seasons.   Windows open
    • if ar develops as i think he will 2025 looks better
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/5/28/24166421/pff-lists-colts-starting-tackles-as-top-3-tandem   "Pro Football Focus released their top tackle rankings and the Colts’ duo is one of three teams whose starting tackles are both among the top 16. The Lions (Sewell no. 3, Decker no. 14) and Eagles (Mailata no. 5, Johnson no. 6) are those ahead of them. The Colts’ RT Braden Smith (15th) and LT Bernhard Raimann (16th) may rank the lowest of the three tandems in question, though to be included at all is quite the honor. The floor may have been established with the Colts’ starting tackle duo, but the ceiling these two can reach is undeniably high"
    • The Texans sign Nico Collins to a three-year contract extension, totaling $72 million. That comes after voiding years from Diggs' contract, making him a free agent after this year and paying him $22+ million this year.   https://www.nfl.com/news/texans-signing-wr-nico-collins-to-three-year-72-5-million-extension#:~:text=Nico Collins' breakout season in,max value of %2475 million.   Calvin Ridley signed a 4-year contract with the Titans for $92 million. Too much.   Mike Evans got paid well (2 years, $52 million), but he deserves it. He has played for the same team his whole career and helped them win a Super Bowl. Future HOFer.   Justin Jefferson will get extended too, but it may be for well over $30 million/year. Too much.
    • Yeah I would expect him to benefit from the new coaching staff also. But one of those benefits might be not trying to play him at guard when he's probably not physically suited for anything but center, IMO. That's where he played in 2021, I think that's where he should stay.
