Nothing really to entice anyone to sign with Indy other than money... :cool:

Andrew Luck took a team that was 2-14 the year prior to the playoffs as a rookie on the strength of 7 game winning drives. That should be enticement enough.

Doesn't appear so, at least as of yet, perhaps the questions on his health still a factor? :cool:

Money being equal, would you place your faith in his right shoulder and move your family to Indiana?

As opposed to what? The Jets and their no QB? The Browns and Tyrod Taylor? The 49ers and Jimmy five game? The Jaguars and Blake Bortles? The Titans and Marcus "VY" Mariota? The Bears and a second year Trubisky? Because these are where most of these players are going. So, given those options, yes, I think I'd take my chances on Luck.

No one will trust Luck's shoulder until he gets on the field and throws and throws well. Luck isn't the draw he was pre-injury.

As of 9:30am Wednesday:

TEN:
David King, DE, Signed a contract extension with Tennessee
Josh Kline, G, Signed a contract with Tennessee
Dion Lewis, RB, Signed a 4 year $20 million contract with Tennessee
Malcolm Butler, CB, Signed a 5 year $61 million contract with Tennessee

JAX:
D.J. Hayden, CB, Signed a 3 year $19 million contract with Jacksonville
Donte Moncrief, WR, Signed a 1 year $7 million contract with Jacksonville
Marqise Lee, WR, Agreed to a 4 year $38 million contract with Jacksonville
Shane Wynn, WR, Signed a contract with Jacksonville
Andrew Norwell, G, Agreed to a contract with Jacksonville

I like what TEN has done. Very smart signings of guys whom I would have loved to have joined the Colts in Kline, Lews and Butler.

JAX? Yeah, Norwell is the big price but otherwise? Whatever.

Walk Worthy,

I don't think the Colts are a very attractive FA until Luck proves he is back. I wonder if Ballard feels that next year is still a building season and kicking cap space another year.

You would think the same could be said of the Browns, but that hasn't stopped them. Guessing that they're overpaying?

Ballard has a plan and is sticking to it. While I'm with everyone who wants to sign the top free agents, I can at the same time appreciate that this guy stays with his plan. Having an idea of where you want to be AND having a plan to get there is 80% of the fight. Grigson seemed to just flail without any direction. I don't think that there is one right plan but many can work if you stick to it and get everyone sold on it. So while as a fan I'm not satisfied right now, I'm hoping for deep satisfaction in the coming years as he follows his plan for building a team.

He must feel VERY confident in his job security, then.

Two straight years of low win totals is enough to get many guys axed in this business.

By the Browns, sure. Irsay doesn't run his organization like that.

Maybe, teams have won with average QB play before.

I don't think Ballard is anywhere near the hot seat. But if Luck gets hurt again and there was no appreciable improvement on the OL, all bets are off.

Some fans are going to come unglued when he trades the #3 pick back in the draft. Fans...

He wound up getting 4/62.

Yeah, that's insane, I'll agree.

For better or worse.

Having a quicker trigger finger on Pagano/Grigson would've put us in a better position than we are today.

Well to be fair, Ballard hasn't shown the dysfunction that Grigson and Pagano did while they were here. THAT should have been the clue to Irsay, but he stayed with them anyway.

Ballard should get a fair chance of 3-4 years to show if he can build this team the right way.

Patriots looking at McCArron. Brady to retire if they get a QB not named Hoyer on the roster.

Am I the only one hoping that come 4pm the Colts announce that they have deals with a couple of these guys: Justin Pugh, Jonathan Cooper, Brendan Mayowa, Dontari Poe and Zach or Preston Brown ?

Most fans are pretty stupid though. I've seen what people say on the Colts facebook posts.

The Colts apparently have a visit scheduled "this week" with Baltimore C/G Ryan Jensen. He's visiting Tampa Bay first though.

If Grigson got as long as he did, Ballard deserves at least that, and more

Yeah, i dont see a short leash with ballard. I think irsay knows he screwed up with grigson

Colts supposedly pursuing Falcons DE Adrian Clayborn. A guy that has considered retirement because of all his injuries. His wife talked him out of it.

rapaport says jeremy maclin is going to be released. Interest?

No, but they should go after Mathieu who was also released.

JMV is reporting that Broncos are interested in dealing CJ Anderson. He's not a free agent so it would have to be a trade unless they release him. JMV has heard that 4 teams are in conversation with Broncos, including Colts and Miami. Doesn't know who the other 2 teams are. Any interest?

Conditional 7th?

I think the problem is a lot of people were building up expectations for months that we would go after Norwell and maybe another big name free agent. I don't think people expected a huge spending spree but maybe a top FA or two. For months everyone has been preaching protect Luck and thought we would take some steps in FA to do that. So naturally, when nothing happens some people freak out and then of course the internet makes it worse. So some idiot tweets something and it gets shared on media sites, 1000's of people read it, get angry, go to social media, it snowballs, rinse repeat.

yes possibly, would work him out. I feel he never reached his potential.

Just saw this, wasn't sure if mentioned already Denico Autry is a Colt

Honey Badger just got released. 25 years old. I like his play a lot. Might be good opportunity to beef up our secondary.

Who?

Here's some Raider fan discussion on him: https://www.silverandblackpride.com/...s-denico-autry

Probably a rotational guy.

Not exactly the next coming of Freeny or Mathis. I guess this his an Eberflus signing.

Why an eberflus signing?

Sounds like the fans respect the guy, but if he isn't up to par, we can always wish Autry "Happy Trails".

Because he was a Cowboy. Sorry got my teams mixed up, he was a Raider!!

#Colts Lurking suitor for Ndamukong Suh if he's truly planning on taking his services to highest bidder. #Raiders #Cowboys #Seahawks make sense too. Idea that nobody wants to pay for his services ludicrous. Delay on his release stalled D-Tackle market. Represented by Jay-Z.
