Default Colts Sign NT Hankins 3 years, $30MM, $14.5MM G

Schefter reports that it’s a three-year, $30 million contract with $14.5 million guaranteed. Hankins had reportedly been holding out for a $10 million a year average, and those numbers suggest he has received it, although it’s possible that the contract is structured in such a way that he’s not really going to see all $30 million.

Default Colts Sign DT Johnathan Hankins

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Former Giants' DT Johnathan Hankins, the top-rated available free agent, is signing a 3-year, $30M deal with Colts, source tells ESPN.


So there's our big fish! (pardon the pun)

Yes, it's a fuckton of money. No, I don't care. We're desperate at NT and we have the cash and it's not a strong position in this year's draft.

Good job, Ballard.

Glad Ballard realized he didn't need to save that cap space to re-sign many draft picks the next two years. We'll see how good Hankins is at NT as opposed to DT.

Well holy shit. Ok then. I am not sure he's worth $10 mil/year. And I'm not convinced he'll produce like he did in NY since he won't have JPP, Harrison, and Vernon playing on the line with him. I hope this doesn't blow up in the teams' face. But I guess we can afford it, he's young, and if he plays to his ceiling he should be good enough to build around.

Wow, $10m a year. He better produce!

We are a better team then this morning so that is great. We were not fixing NT any other way this year.

But...wow. That is a lot of cheddar.

Worth the risk.

A sorely needed position for this team.

If he is nothing more than just a solid starter, he still instantly upgrades the DL

Defensive front is instantly improved. $14.5M guaranteed isn't too shabby a deal for either side. I like it. In Ballard I trust.

NT = Hankins, Woods, Parry

DT = Anderson, Ridgeway, Parry

DE= Langford, Anderson, Hunt

That is not a terrible 7 man rotation if Anderson and Langford return to 2015 form.

I would be okay with the Colts skipping D-Line in this draft if we only have 7 picks. Pass Rush, CB, CB, ILB, RB, TE, ILB, Safety all higher priority.
