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.
