Add 4 more solid players from the 2017 draft to add to V Davis and a stud or two from next year's free agency class and we are much closer to a solid defense than a "gloom & doom" prophet like you will admit. Cheers, Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'd say Butler, Davis, Langford, and potentially Simon

Yeah, that's the elephant in the room about not bringing any big names in. I'm thinking along the same line as sherck's last post. Some of the foundational guys will have to come in the draft, but we have some guys already who can do it this year. But I don't know who the Redding-like leader of that group will be (if anyone).

Yeah, it pretty much is. But it's a foundation containing a lot more youth with potential than what we had before. What would you have done differently? Spend $40M on 3-4 established players and roll with what we had?

The only way to tke that list is that Grigson is gone for being an ass, not for being inept at building a team.

So who should they have pursued in this free agency? Should they have offered 10-20% more in salary than what those players received? That's probably a minimum the Colts would've had to add to an offer, assuming each player's decision was based solely on money. Joe All-Pro gets an offer of 4 years 40 mil, Colts can't just offer 4 years 41 mil and have them begging to sign here instead since the team is in a bit of structural disarray.

Any marquee free agent could choose from a dozen other teams who have as good as, or better, of a situation than the Colts, especially when talking about the defensive side of the ball. Situation meaning everything from coaching structure, philosophy, teammates who will pull their weight to help the marquee player keep his numbers up (so he's not always covering for some JAG next to him who isn't getting it done). |
