Colts sign Matt Slauson

[Brylok]

Terms aren't released yet, or at least I can't find them.

Any help on that o-line is welcome.

Walterfootball has him as the 5th rated free agent guard:

5. Matt Slauson, G/C, Chargers. Age: 32.
Signed with Colts

Matt Slauson can play all three positions in the interior of the offensive line. He had a down year in 2017 that ended early because of torn biceps, but because inside blockers can play well into their mid-30s.

I'm good with this, it's a bit on the conservative side perhaps, but its a starting guard and depth behind Kelly if his injuries keep becoming a trend.

There's the guard everyone wanted. Hopefully there's less "sky is falling" mentality around here now.

Well not the one everyone wanted, but certainly the position everyone wanted addressed.

That was more what I meant. Looks like Ballard is trying to address offensive needs through free agency, which I really hope means he's going to focus the draft on defense.

1 year, $3m

Not liking all the one year deals. Have to do something with the OL so it’s hard to bitch to much, but like Grant (and Desir) just another stop gap bargain addition.
