btownqb Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Love the signing of Matt Gay. He's a stud and while Mclaughlin had a good year... Gay has been quite a bit better over the length of his career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much guaranteed money for Carr. They’re married to him for 3-4 years. But Jimmy G only has $34 million In guaranteed money, so Raiders could move up to draft a Richardson and have him sit for a year or 2, then him take over.

And, most importantly, I never said that was a good deal either. Oh, and I wasn’t conversing about the Colts. I was trying to talk about the Bears. Both off ball LBs… but agreed, not where I would spend huge money in either case… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it the largest 4-year contract for an inside LB in the NFL per Schefter. Hope it works for you. To me LBs in the current NFL are like RBs. I like the signing of Nate Davis better. Edmunds (only 24 and a 2 time All Pro) plus TJ Edwards plus 2nd round pick=$24.5M Roquan Smith=$20M I'll take option A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay has been quite a bit better over the length of his career. He's one of the most reliable. Not sure how much on the field success the Colts will have this year but you have to think at some point in coming years big kicks will be required. He kicks as well as anyone not named Tucker in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very important but if your big free agent signings is a kicker then that isn't a good sign especially for a team that finished 4-12-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget the Eagles and their “dream team” some years ago. Yeah they fizzled too. I have seen some media reports saying this is the weakest free agent class in memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This opens up 10 mil and when of if they release Ryan that is another 17 mil under the cap. Hopefully Ballard used some of this money on a WR and we need a couple of CB's now plus a RG.

I agree with you if you believe the Colts WR room needs an upgrade. But curious who you want them to go get. I don’t see any game changers at the position with this year’s free agents. Maybe Adam Theilen but his numbers are tailing off and I’m guessing he would want to go to a contender at this point in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we have Pittman, Pierce and Dublin sober need a couple of WR to fill the roster. I would try to resign Campbell if not try to get some more speed at that position. Also with their early 2nd round pick I would look to draft a WR there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Former 49ers’ free-agent DE Samson Ebukam reached agreement on a three-year, $27 million max deal with the Indianapolis Colts that includes over $11 million in the first year, per @JFowlerESPN and me. Cameron Foster and @chriscabott confirmed and negotiated deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a solid by the team. Cap space and get him out of a rebuild at the twilight of his career. On a side note. I'm a Ballard guy. I love Indy and what the Colts have done to help be a key cog in the growth of Indy since 1998....but come on man. Do something. Or at the very least say it's a draft year. Or maybe he's trying and every FA is saying no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he has made 2 free agent signings and resigned two players so been fairly active so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
