Colts supposedly in "strong pursuit" of WR Tyrell Williams

It's La Canfora. His sources might be garbage, or completely imaginary. With so much cap space we will probably be linked to every big FA this year.

I don't see how Ballard would even briefly consider paying Williams $12 million per year. No chance.

I actually believe it.
 

The WR market $ wise is higher than many seem to think. TY makes 15 mil this year.
12 mil is a little high IMO, but I can/do see Ballard chasing him. Most likely trying to sell the organisation's lock room, and uptrend, as selling points to bring his price down some.

I saw that, too, and figured that his "source" was the Colt's ~$100MM in cap space.

He also could just be speculating. The “I reckon” part of it makes it a very awkwardly worded sentence.

we are and have been linked to basically everyone due to our cap space and some specific needs.

i dont doubt that ballard is looking at williams because he does due dilignece.

I could see this being another Anthony Hitchens situation where Ballard is interested but not at anywhere near that price point.

Listened to your free agency pod the other day and really liked your points about Humphries. Would you rather have Williams at $12MM/year or Humphries at $8MM/year?

I think I'd rather go with Humphries and grab one of the bigger receivers at 59 or 90. I think you can get what Williams would've gotten you without paying the extra $$.

Agreed completely. Humphries at $8m per year and then Damarkus Lodge in the draft and I feel great about our WR corps.

I'm sure they want Williams, Reich and Sirianni both have a former team connection here, so there's already intel in the building on the player. I highly doubt they want him at $12 million per year, however.

Haven't seen him but have heard he drops a lot of balls? :cool:
