Yeah, but spending $2.5m on a backup player for soecial teams could easily br filled by someone making less than $1m per year.

At $2.5m, they are banking they get some pass rush out of him, IMO.

Why no on Levy? He's likely to be cheap, and can be a camp cut if he gets hurt again. If he can regain his pre injury form, or even close to it, he's head and shoulders better than what's on the roster now. If I'm signing him, though, I don't necessarily consider the position addressed.

Hopefully the NFL finds the trade and dump of salary illegal, and make the Texans take Osweiler and his huge contract back.

It's a gamble. The Colts have a bit of cap room to gamble at this point. Sure, it's unlikely to pay off, but if it does...

I don't know if I would consider any position we address on defense as "addressed."

We HAVE to draft and develop young studs all levels of the defense before it is fixed.

I think its 2M + 500k in incentives. if he replaces a backup/ST player making 1M, then its a 1M gamble he provides more than that. If he hits his targets (assuming they are worthy targets) then we got something for our 2.5M. If he doesnt then we "lost" 1M.

If Pagano ever reaches the mediocre level, it will be a vast improvement.

A position can be temporarily addressed. Most free agents make their money as a team's "stopgap solution" until such time as the team can invest the draft resources it needs to into the position. Addressing something for 2017 isn't necessarily addressing it long term. That said, even by that definition, if I sign DeAndre Levy to play ILB, I'm still looking for at least 2 starting ILBs for 2017.

I read there isnt a savings to releasing jones now vs later so they might hold on to him for a while until a replacement can be found and solidified.

Looks like Dont'a Hightower will sign with the Titans.

I guess we had no interest.

This is a crazy thought but

Why not sign guys that will be good starters and not backups?

Do we still need someone to kick off? Or is that the new punter or Vinnie now?

Nevermind.

Timmons is gone, signed with the Dolphins.

Report: D.J. Fluker scheduled to visit Giants

We will be returning more kicks than kicking off so it doesn't matter.

Anyone starting to get the feeling that we won't be signing a veteran starting Guard?

Or at least not a very good one.

Fluker isn't very good anyway.

maybe we already have one

Could have done without that post Wyatt.

This is likely to be unpopular, but I wouldn't mind looking into signing RG III as a backup. It was mooted that we were looking at backup qb's and to my mind he is someone who actually has a similar game to Luck, he doesn't read a defence anywhere near as well as Luck, but his overall game is similar. He does have a great arm and when healthy was an outstanding scrambler.

I am not saying that Tolzien was bad, I just think Griffin is a much better option.

Love to see him carry Luck's clip board

HEY BALLARD. GO SIGN FREENEY!!!! He needs to retire a Colt

Ballard is trying to change the culture and RG3 has Washington and Cleveland stink on him. No thanks.

Carolina trading DE Kony Ealy and a third-round pick to Patriots in exchange for New England's second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

Oh hell no!

We could always hire Vince Young, I mean he did just sign with a CFL team yesterday I believe

Mike Bluem

Poe to Falcons?
 

@JasonLaCanfora
Continue to hear the Falcons linked to Chiefs DT Dontari Poe. Very good chance he does 1yr deal to relaunch as a UFA next March

That shit would be hilarious, but fuck no to having RGIII on the Colts. If the Browns cut you, you must be worthless as a 3 dollar bill. It's funny looking back now, but there were some pundits that thought the Colts should have taken RGIII over Luck, dumb asses.

Same as with Leaf over Manning.

2 bullets dodged.

Another fine example of us being lucky as shit to have gotten Manning and Luck back to back is the deal Washington just signed with Pryor - 1 year $8mil

I want Skip's head to explode

@HolderStephen
No word on #Colts and Jabaal Sheard yet, but for argument's sake: He made $5.5M avg on 2-yr deal with the Pats + will likely want a raise.

For what it is worth Dungy was one that thought RGIII was who we should've taken

Only time I have disliked the man. HA

That is the only time?

Well this is fucking retarded

How does that POS still have a job?

People like puck won't stop watching for some reason
