I do think there is a decent chance we at least put a claim in on 1 of those Eagles lineman. Hopefully 2. Those are only 2 at the moment that are intriguing. 1 minute ago, 1959Colts said: Won't be surprised if we end up signing Kareem Hunt... although I kinda wish we wouldn't Think we only sign him if we trade Taylor.

One of the Colts twitter insiders posted the other day, he expects the Colts to sign Hunt this week. Just asking the question… why would we sign Hunt now as opposed to a week or more ago when he was here meeting with the brass? What would have been the benefit of waiting to sign him? The sooner they signed him the quicker he can learn the playbook and the quicker he would have been on the field. I just don’t think we will sign him unless we get into some kind of a pickle at this point. I’m just saying if they wanted him I would think common sense means he’d already be on the team.

Jackie Daytona Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 17 hours ago, Scott Pennock said: I would be on the lookout for OLinemen, back-up LB's (with ST's value) and RB as areas of improvement thru waivers. Every other spot they seem to be 'verbally' happy with their depth to include the very young CB room......... Perhaps we trade from a position of strength to instead of allowing a player they covet to hit the waiver wire? Trade one of our TE's that perhaps the new coach is not fond of? Chicago, Philly or Carolina would be optimum spots since the coached there are aware of what our players bring to the table. Not happy with the likes of Speed, JoJo, Stuard, Olubi, on ST?

I feel good about Olubi on defense as long as he isn't lined up covering speedsters. That's a mismatch all day for pretty much any LBer, though.

I felt this way too, to begin the preseason... but now, from watching Stuard, I'm thinking, if given the shot, he would do really well. I would think Dorman would back up Franklin, and Stuard / Leonard and Speed? Honestly, I have my doubts as to how effective Leonard will be, so we may very well need these backup LBs as the year goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason was discussed by every news report related to his not signing here on his visit. And in probably at least a few dozen posts here. He had visited several teams that showed interest, meaning there was competition for his services. At least for the next couple years Always ask yourself why would Anyone want to come hear? They want $$, they want to play in a system and for a coach that will use them the way they like, and most want to win. He most likely came here to create leverage for $$ from a team with better prospects this season. If others don't want him he will take our $$.
