Huh?

 

Ummm….   Never comes to mind, but certainly not now or even this season.   
 

You’re reading way, WAY too much into this.   Their deals will likely get done this week.   
 

Nothing is wrong.   No need to worry at all. 
 

Honestly.

Interesting thread here lol. Those 3 do need to sign at some point though. I will admit Ballard generally gets these guys signed before this point, and training camp is starting soon. I'd hate to see a season-ending injury before they sign their contract.

 

Trading them is ridiculous though. I don't even think we could trade them at this point if they haven't signed their contract yet.

Do you expect them to come to camp before they sign their contracts? If they are smart, they will sign first.

Generally yes. They should sign first. Training camp has a bigger chance of injury than minicamp. I was mentioning injury because Daniel Scott (one of our 5th round picks) already tore his acl this year. Luckily he had already signed before doing so. I'm not sure why they haven't signed to this point. Usually it's language in the contract, but I figured that would be straightened out by now. 

 

I do expect them to sign in a few days. I admit, it'd scare me a bit in Richardsons case having him play in training camp with contact without being under contract. So I hope they get their contracts signed as soon as possible.

I'm surprised he has not signed yet. I wonder what is holding it up. I think holding out will not be received well by the fans, but he certainly should not report before signing a contract. He needs to sign soon so that he does not miss any time in training camp.

I imagine that before the end of tomorrow, all 3 will be signed (before TC starts), and this thread will be suitably locked and forgotten to the sands of time.

Exactly

 

No one is holding out

No one is getting traded

No one is practicing in TC w/o a contract

 

 

All 3 will be signed when they report to camp.

Regarding Richardson, I suspect they are waiting for CJ Stroud to sign his contract. Last I checked he was still unsigned. Young just signed his so Stroud should be next and then Richardson. 
No idea what is going on with Brents and Freeland.

FYI:

 

Brents and Freeland have officially signed. 
 

The team announcement is up on the front page of the website.    As we mentioned earlier, there was no need to worry.   These things always work out.    Better days ahead.   :thmup:

Clearly the Colts caved in response to this thread!      :peek:

That was the point(answer to thread title), where they decided to get something done.

 

Now the players can go shopping.

This has to be a troll.  I think it is great if they hold out.  Better draft picks for next year.  These kids think they have leverage because the roster is bare at their positions.  They are right.  It won't mean much if they cannot play in the NFL.  

 

NCAA is the NCAA.  This is the real show.

Cmon, you're usually sharper than this!  Players don't participate in training camp without contracts!

Yeah, you're right. I was just puzzled that it took longer for those 3 to sign their contracts and wasn't 100% sure what would happen if they didn't. Glad everything got straightened out.

This is has been Ballard’s pattern with high draft picks.  They sign right before camp.  I thinks it’s just more that they are slotted so there is no must get this done.  They just have to get it done before camp which they did.  So Ballard focuses on other things snd knocks out the contracts for the high picks right before camp starts.  IE nothing to see here and carry on as most were.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By lester · Posted

      The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.

      So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      Uuuugh.     I think it would’ve been better if I had preached a healthy dose of patience and NOT patients.

      Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.

      And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know.
