Sam Tevi signed for some reason ???

The Colts need bodies, this guy could be depth. Move Smith to LT and finding a RT in the draft is possible.

They shouldn’t be signing “bodies” at this point. Especially with the major holes they have and the ability to fill them.

To be fair, Zach Keefer is suggesting that there is another OL move that may be coming. If they go in to the season with Tevi and a rookie battling to start at LT I’ll be pissed. If Tevi is just extra depth then sure - he at least has experience.

Ballard is shopping at the 99 cent store, while others are at the higher end stores. I understand being frugal to a point, but when you have glaring needs, at least address one or two with proven players, not this kind of fodder.

I don't understand this hoarding the cap money bullshit.

Agreed. Everyone's acting like this guy is slotted in as the starter, when it's much more likely he's just a low end backup. Obviously, the Colts see something about this guy's skill set they like and think they can develop. If it turns out they can't, then I'm sure they'll cut him. No harm, no foul.

Now, if they paid a bunch of money for this guy and he craters, then by all means flame away. Until then, I don't really see the reason for all of the anguish.

This is clearly a depth signing which is a necessary part of building a team, but from everything I have seen/read he is fucking terrible. As in, really we cant do any better!?

I understand it to a point, I think ballard has taken it a bit far. He built the core in this fashion which he has done a nice job of doing. Trading for and extending bucker was great.

This year I wanted one impact player, some solid vets, and then draft. Given the lower cap that caused teams issues, our cap space, we should have been able to improve the team, even if in the short term. I would be fine and was expecting some 1-2 year contracts.

Impact at DE - lawson or similar. We could have afforded that type of contract.
Vets - villaneuva to compete with drafted LT or be solid backup and teach rookie the ropes. Resign rhodes (done). Wait for Ertz to be released (hopefully still happens). Sign a solid WR.

Draft.

It depends on what level of “depth” he is. As a former starter he’s probably pretty decent as a 3rd string LT. Any higher depth than that and I think it’s a shit signing.

Ballard is building the team. Relax freaks. Back ups have issues, otherwise they would not be back ups.

Apparently we'll be taking a step back this coming season. QB has been addressed (hopefully), but nothing else has. We've lost more than we've gained, and dime store guys and drafted rookies won't be enough to fill out the roster at a winning level. First time I've been disappointed with Ballard and company. I'm not angry, just whatever.
