Even with the signing of Rhodes, having Desir on the roster as well would have been nice. |
Well Z. Keefer mentioned that the Colts were open to his return "if the opportunity presented itself" (tweet on first page of this thread)
In the past, if Ballard doesn't want to pay top dollar on a free agent contract, he usually tells the player / agent to go explore the open market and see what you can get. Then come back to the Colts before you sign and see if they want to match / beat. For instance, they did that with Geathers last year. If Desir had a sour taste from his release, maybe he didn't come back to Ballard after he scored the Jets offer.
