Colts Signing Pharaoh Brown

[TomDiggs]

Also interesting:

 

 

 

Brown has been “meh” the last two years, but the three years prior he was a pretty solid blocking tight end. In 2020 only he and Jack Doyle (oddly enough) were both top-10 amongst TEs in their run blocking and pass blocking grades.

Somewhere Frank Reich is screaming… Now they get a blocking TE to replace JD.

I'd love to be able to trade Cox and a 7th for a 6th at this point just to get a better draft pick. Ballard has hit on 6th round picks before.

Im super excited to see what Ogletree does. I like this signing Also as I think Mo shouldn't have been retained.

But who was the driving force? Was it Reich? Sure seems that way

[crazycolt1]

The TE is probably the most important position for a rookie QB. It's time for all the TEs to go to work. 

[holeymoley99]

Woods,Granson and Ogletree are 1,2,3...MAC likely gets cut which leaves TE 4 if we keep 1 between Kalinic and P. Brown.

[Smonroe]

He’s kind of short for our TE room. Only 6’5”.

Good leverage for blocking lol. I think he is a run support signing for sure.

Yes run support but blocking and being a safety valve for a rookie QB is probably more important?

Isn’t Granson like 6’2

Miniscule!

[Orioles22]

No problem with the signing, but when I read about "blocking" tight ends I wonder what coaches and the off-season are for these days. Woods and Ogletree, with their size, should be transformed into blocking tight ends by next season if they want to play in the NFL.

Just another Ballard garbage heap find.

Friendly reminder to those who are unimpressed with this signing…..

 

Jack Doyle, was himself an undrafted free agent.  Tennessee signed him after the draft.   Then, eventually cut him.   The Colts with Grigson as GM, signed him.   
 

The reminder is that good players can be found in the bargain isle.  It happens every year.

Jeff Saturday as well, or is it too soon to use him as an example? Lol…

So by your sarcastic comment, do you think all nfl rosters shouldn't have cheaper players to fill a roster? Just a reminder, there is a salary cap.

can we move on from Mo Cox now?

Why move on now?   There’s a 90 man roster currently.   Maybe Cox takes to the new coaches and system?   There’s plenty of time to cut him if they want.   
 

Or….  Maybe they’ll cut him tomorrow and you’ll get your wish.

What difference does it make? He is under contract and should have the chance to keep his roster spot through training camp and pre season.  He is guaranteed so let him stick around and earn it.

Not all of his contract is guaranteed 

[NewColtsFan]

If Cox is cut now, the Colts take a $2.4m dead cap hit.   I don’t know about if it’s designated a post June 1 cut.  
 

But if he can survive one more year, and he might, cutting him in 24 has zero penalty.   None.

The time frame makes no difference. I'm pretty confident Ballard has it under control. 2.4 million cap hit regardless if he is cut now or at the end of TC and pre season.  

[Matabix]

Gary Brackett, and Bethea also RFAs.

he hasn't really produced anything, not even as a blocker. He is certainly overpaid. 

 

Maybe he takes a pay cut

[indyagent17]

Meh

FWIW: 

 

Pharroh Brown was reportedly signed about a week or so ago.
 

But…. as of today,  he is NOT on the Colts roster.   Hang up on the signing?   Flunked a physical?   I don’t know? 
 

He’s also not on the salary roster of either Spotrac or Over The Cap.   Hope the Colts can straighten things out.

This was announced last week that they didn’t expect the signing to be official until something like April 9th

Thanks.   I managed to miss that.   
 

Appreciate the good 411.

OUTSTANDING NEWS that we are adding a bonafide "blocking tight end" to our roster.

 

That will help the offensive line - AND - allow our new young stable of TEs the opportunity to shine.

[Dark Superman]

I expect Mo Allie-Cox to be cut or traded at some point before Training camp.
