Default Indianapolis Colts Sign Defensive End Chris McCain

The Colts have added another player to their group of pass rushers as they’ve signed former Chargers edge defender Chris McCain.

"McCain is tall and slender at 6′ 5″ 224 pounds, so he won’t be able to contribute much against the run on early downs.

However, he’s become a pass rush specialist over his four year career, and he’s coming off of a career-high 5 sack season with the Chargers in 2017. He also recorded 19 total tackles and forced 2 fumbles with Los Angeles last year."

Meh.

Don't know where he will fit in with Sheard, Simon, Basham, Autry, Turay and Lewis in front of him.

Don't mind the camp body but don't expect much out of him.

Walk Worthy,

220 lbs. is embarrassing for an NFL "lineman".

I'm guessing he's primarily a ST signing.

Guy has been a situational pass rusher I doubt they move him to SAM. He is competition for edge methinks.

I’m not positive that Simon makes the team next year.

Pass rush sub package guy. Not a bad signing, see if he makes the team. We have a lot of average guys on there. Then the developmental guys.

I expect Walker and Morrison to compete at SAM, w/Walker also competing at MIKE. Walker's will win one of the two starting positions.

Morrison's only chance of making this team is at SAM, and even that's iffy.

A 5 flat 40 DT might not have room on this roster, so a 5 flat 40 LB? All but assuredly gone.
