CardiacColts Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 For what it’s worth. Sounds like we could just be waiting for an extension to be finalized. Fans on the Chief’s subreddit all seem to accept it and are just speculating on the compensation. I have been out of the loop a little bit, and haven’t had a chance to go all the way down the rabbit hole with this one. Has this been talked about here at all? Sneed trade official? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone talking about Titans and Texans improving in FA. He made a great point how no they haven’t. They replaced guys they lost. Pollard for Beney. Hunter for Grenard. He also mentioned how all the guys colts brought back would have been some of the best at their positions in FA. I pretty much agree with this. Hunter might be slightly better than Grenard but Grenard is 3 years younger at 26, he is just entering his prime. Pollard is coming off ankle surgery and they lost Henry. I am glad we brought back many of our players as they all played good last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think with those AAV numbers for Fuller that this extension might be tough to work out? Probably trying to get him in at $15m or so, and he's like tag is this much. Maybe like a 4yr $64m deal? $17m AAV? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Daytona Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, 1959Colts said: Some good points. However, thus far, Cross has shown nothing. Seemed he could hardly get on the field. Then near the end of season, he did see time, and his play was nothing to write home about. Could easily be unseated or replaced. Some here are expecting Cross to start? Not ruling that out, as a slim possibility? But if they bring in decent competition, I don't Cross starting. Wouldn't be shocked if both Cross and Thomas end up training camp cuts. I did not think Harrison showed as much as others here do, We still need another NFL caliber LB... and I haven't seen his contract details yet? So I am not assuming he came that cheap? Huh? Cross a training camp cut? The guy is like 21, and ascending in experience, performance, consistency..... he's cheap as dirt and barely had a chance to develop beyond a normal first year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Daytona Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, Indeee said: Please hear this. All the criticism with the Davis signing is not ALL directly to the player. It is geared towards what the player is known to do. Davis is a space eater. He primarily absorbs blocks to allow the backers to tackle, etc. We already have guys that primarily do that or could find those types of guys later in drafts or udfas. We needed a combo player. the ones who can still do what Davis does but also can pressure the passer/backfield. This player does not have a history of doing that and we really don't have any players that can consistently do that as well from the DT position so to us that have critisism, we should have given that money to a more versatile DT. That's it. A DT that can do "both" costs a lot more than they paid Grover and Davis combined..... you are talking about a Buckner, Haynesworth, Sapp, type DT.... those guys don't get picked up in FA lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckner is still under contract through this season, that takes him through his prime. So, we have him in 2024 anyway. He turns 30 this week. If he has a good season this year, Ballard may bring him back for 2 more seasons or so is my guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Ballard really truly does have his routine down pat. He likes his guys, and he signs them. I read on here someone else saying he's at year 7, might as well keep doing what he's been doing. If he's gonna get fired let it be for his true self, not some altered state of affairs in this warm-seat period. but man he was smart the way he put off getting a QB. he knew what he was doing. he said it time and time again in those pressrers that once you take a guy, and they miss., he's gonna lose his head to the media, and fan base. AR gets injured, giving him yet another year. this is basically ARs rookie season, so even if we do bad, he's likely here again, ballard ain't no dummy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
