Colts' Undrafted Free Agents Thread

[haseo15]

What about Jeff Fuler why don't we try to sign them?

[Superman]

No, we didn't sign Nix..... Chad72 just posted ANOTHER post where he lists his hopefuls..... I think this thread is for confirmed signings...... of which his list is not. there are already several wishlist threads, can we keep this as a confirmed signing only thread? I like the Galippo Signing..... decent 3-4 LB if I am not mistaken

Oh dang. I liked Nix, was hoping we would draft/sign him. Oh well. Raiders got a good one.

[Andy]

Can someone throw out a list of all the UDFAs; getting busy and crowded in this thread.

Thanks a lot!

[hawkeyes]

When is training camp again? Next week? lol I don't think I can wait.

Im with you! Im ready for the season to start! I could see a lot of these guys making the team!

Just seen Kellen Moore is likely to be picked up by the Lions .... with Stafford injury prone, he just might get a chance there. 50-3 as a starter - boy lot of teams missed out on a good one IMO!

[CCH]

Man I would really love it if we signed James Brown and Matt Reynolds. I can't believe they didn't get drafted.

I am out of likes today. But just wanted to say thank you for the list. Glad to hear that they are burning up the phones tonight and getting some of these kids that were not drafted that could help us. I love the whole new Colts from the very top and all from the bottom.

[PMan Escape Plan]

someone said something about leonard johnson, cb out of iowa state..

can anyone confirm???

if true, great pick up. Iowa state had solid defense, tops in the big 12 and he was defensive captain.

either was 1st team or 2nd team all big 12

shut down solid receivers like broyles, blackmon, and others

He signed with the Bucs.

Shaun Hill is the backup there, not Moore.

darnit

[MTC]

Two names that stand out to me and can make a great impact for the Colts are USC Linebacker Chris Galippo and Hampton CB Micah Pellerin.

[Moncrief]

Griff Whalen has signed with the Colts.

Ryan Autullo ‏ @RyanAutullo

Stanford's Griff Whalen, a Southview grad, agrees to contract with the Colts.

Edit: Also Wisconsin CB Antonio Fenelus will sign with Colts.

Good Fenelus is a good man to man corner

Ravens appear to have gotten both Nicolas Jean-Baptiste and Ishmaa’ily Kitchen. I guess what I've been most disappointed by is all the talk about how it starts in the trenches...we gotta get bigger and stronger...we gotta be able to stop the run. Now don't get me wrong, I love the addition of Chapman but they've done jack else to try to make these things happen.

Cory Redding, brandon mckinney,...

[OJl]

You guys are getting a great punter with Brian Stahovich out of San Diego State. He has the leg and accuracy to make the team. I dont know too much about the Colt's punting situation, but I can see Brian being your guy.

Fat chance! Our guy now can kick the football over them mountains over yonder and he likes to get arrested swimming in the poo and drug needle infested canal downtown. Plus he's a tweetin' fool!

[DarkHorseColts]

What about Jeff Fuler why don't we try to sign them?

Believe he signed w- Miami...

not true, we addressed much of this in free agency with the signing of Cory Redding and Brandon McKinney, and not to mention hard hitter Tom Zbikowski at safety.

http://www.conquestchronicles.com/2010/8/30/1658102/devon-kennard-displaces-chris

There were some that have complained about Galippo's effectiveness at middle linebacker. Whether he was seen as too small, too slow or ineffective at tackling at times not everyone was happy with his performance there.

http://losangeles.sbnation.com/usc-trojans/2011/11/5/2540930/usc-trojans-football-linebacker-chris-galippo-benched-lamar-dawson-start-washington-huskies

Now, hopefully it was a scheme issue. USC was running a 3-4 when Galippo started playing there but the Kiffin's changed it to a tampa 2 style defense when they took over in 2010. Still, I'd have much rather had Jerry Franklin than Galippo.

Exactly. Why don't Redding and McKinney count? They are both better than virtually every rookie defensive lineman in the draft, as of right now. Plus, we have players that fit in Pagano's front seven quite well. I've been saying for weeks that we're not as devoid of talent as we're made out to be. I would probably have taken another linebacker, but we really do have a lot of players. The fact that the coaches got a good look at these guys last week is encouraging to me, because while everyone thought we were going to come into the draft and take a bunch of defensive players (literally, I saw people post that we should draft luck and then spend the other nine players on defense, no matter what), they must have liked what they saw.

[Jason_]

Cory Redding, brandon mckinney,...

that was my fault for being unclear...I meant in regards to the draft and the UDFA's they've been going after so far. Still, even including them that's 3 players. I like the addition of both guys but Redding is a 31 year old stop gap and McKinney so far is a career backup. Now I like the fact we brought both of those guys in, but we had 10 draft picks plus a slew of talented players that went undrafted. Considering that, I would have really liked to have seen more than just Chapman brought in to try to bolster the front 7.

[manning04]

I hope to see a few of these guys come in and make the squad.

[Pancake Block]

Real disappointed that we let Chase Minnifield signwith someone else. He could have competed for a starting spot IMHO.

[Pancake Block]

Next thing to watch is picking up guys cut by other teams. Patriots, Texans, Ravens, and Packers are the teams whose waiver wires I'd watch closely. They're all loaded with talent.

[chad72]

Who did Fangupo sign with?

[Andy]

The Colts essentially have room for 18 UDFAs

[chad72]

I see that Hebron Fangupo and Chigbo Anunoby are still unsigned, both NT project prospects.

[spoonfish]

I can't find anything on Anunoby, but Fangupo is supposedly close to signing with the Texans.

Darn it!!! Oh well, how many fatties can you have??? They cant play ST anyway, LOL.

[chad72]

Yep, here it is, Fangupo did sign with the Texans:

[spoonfish]

This isn't much to go on, but I did find this tweet.

https://twitter.com/#!/GQueD2uce/status/196438913357852674

Did we sign Chigbo Anunoby? How many Chigbo's can there be? I also think this guy doesn't know the difference between drafted and undrafted, but if true... I like the signing.

[achcolts]

Same here, exactly those two

[Gavin]

who was it that said Grigson and Pagano were mad over some sort of draft pick or something

[esmort]

Seeing all the UDFA's we have missed out on ... Fangupo, Nix, Leonard Johnson, Nick Jean-Baptiste, etc .... makes me hate our last pick even more. What a wasted pick!

[Colt-in-Jax]

Shaun Hill is the backup there, not Moore.

NOOOOO, Shaun Hill is the back up HERE!!!

Was wanting Baptiste or Kitchen myself.Just cannot see Mookie as NT.

[Balzer40]

The good thing is, that neither of these guys are likely to make the Ravens roster. Maybe after they are cut we can scoop one of them up.

[NewEra]

well they wont be able to keep all the NT's. a few of them are bound to shake free, get cut, or put on practice squads. we dont run a straight 3-4 so I think our Line will be fine. Chapman is going to be a BEAST!! On paper, best d-line I remember us having. then we can sprinkle in mathis and freeney coming from god knows where its going to be a sick season!! IM STOKED!!
