If they do let Grover walk I'm thinking they draft T'Vondre Sweat out of Texas. He would be a good replacement.

McKinney signed with Philly I think.

The McKinney report earlier was false apparently.

I am not worried. I don’t even think we need a high priced one. Really just one we can play steady and improve the room while one of ours develops. Maybe a McLeod type.

Yeah, just want to sign a couple veteran safeties.

Do Something Ballard!!!!!

I don’t know why you are surprised.  If you’ve paid any attention to Ballard at all this is what he does.  This is who he is and no matter how much fans want splash free agent signings that’s not going to change who he is.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That’s a lot of money for a safety

@richard palloI read the first part of your post and got my hopes up, only to be crushed again. 😥

We'll see about that. I think we just saw the start of a major market correction at safety, and while McKinney is a good option, there's suddenly a lot more competition among the free agents. I don't know if he has the standing to push the ceiling on the safety market, but we'll see. It only takes one team.

 

4 years $68 million, it took only 1 team, the GB Packers for Xavier McKinney to be signed to that number. That will be the top number for safety this FA, it is a safe bet.

How much crazy $ do the Colts have now that Ballard will refuse to spend once again???

I know.  You never know who to believe.  At age 24 the Packers got a great young player.  They mean business.

Decent chance will how things are playing out that we might get Moss back?

I am sure the next domino to fall will be Justin Simmons to the Colts, wishing, hoping, praying...all of them. 😉

You would think with his job on the line he might change his philosophy. Apparently, not as we watch the colts sit on their hands again.

Yep I think so. He seems to want to come back too. So would he take a little extra from a team with no QB or a bad team. Maybe not.

With all due respect to the Heavenly Father Mr Lewis needs to take some credit here.  He’s earned that extension with how he’s played on back-to-back one year deals.

No, Broncos signed ex Dolphin S Brandon Jones. Simmons is still available.

You think so.   I think so.  But I also think most here HATE this day.   They see what everyone else does, and what Ballard won’t do and their heads explode!   I think this day is torture for most.   
 

And it’s the same every year.   Wash.  Rinse.  Repeat.     

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Autry signed with Texans. I think that’s funny he keeps going around the AFCS.

Who says his job is on the line?  Some fan on the message board who is frustrated that Ballard hasn’t done what they wanted?  Sorry that doesn’t count.  Irsay is the only one who gets a vote on that and he’s done nothing to say Ballard’s job is on the line this season.  Further more, Irsay is involved with how the team is run, Ballard has said they have stayed in contact while Irsay has been in the hospital so he’s probably signed off on whatever Ballard’s plan is.

Justin Simmons will be very expensive for a team to sign now.

I don't expect much, I just come here for the comments after we do nothing big  . We re-signed Pitt to a long-term deal, that is huge anyway.

At least we know his ceiling will hover around $15 mil. because he is much older than McKinney. So 2 years $30 mil., all guaranteed (or 3 years $45 mil. with $30 mil. guaranteed) and see if he accepts.

[w87r]

Anxiously waiting to see.

Yeah, definitely higher than I thought it would be, but not quite highest in history. Close, though.

I think Chloe has more Stern than I do, you never know what she might type

Three left to go.

Glad we got Grover back. That explains why we were inactive in FA so far.
