Sherman is too outspoken and too big of a personality to work in a market like Indianapolis / Indiana. He'd also probably be too expensive for what he could contribute to the defense. I'm not knocking you or your post, I just don't think it's feasible.

There will be a flood of defensive backs on the market come Saturday; 1,184 guys are going to be on the street ((90 - 53 = 37) x 32 = 1,184).

There will be some good guys in that mix. None of them will be world beaters but there will be a few veterans who can come in, pick up immediately and ball.

Now, the question will be is if Ballard is prepared for the flood, has the ability to target the right guys and land them in time to help Week One.

It will be a very interesting weekend.

Walk Worthy,

He is not the same CB that he was before his 2015 injury but he is still a solid/good veteran presence that would help us greatly in 2017 with Davis out.

Colts have around $17m in free cap space to sign free agents. Giving him a portion of it would be prudent if the Colts want to try and compete for the division this year.

However, if instead they are angling for a high draft choice and Pagano being fired, then let some other NFL team pay him because I suspect he will be off the market fairly quickly. He will not make the $9m to $10m a year that he wants but I bet he signed for $7m a year.

Walk Worthy,

The upside is the way that this season is looking, if Luck's injury continues to be even worse than reported, then we should have a good shot at Sam Darnold.
