He'd arguably be a better pass rusher than your boy Grigson ever acquired ever. I'm sure that makes you flaccid, but the rest of us I'm sure would be fairly happy over that improvement.

Former Texans LB John Simon signs a three-year deal with the Colts. Three years, $13.5 million, $5.5 guaranteed.

Colts are putting some weight behind this. Simon will make about $6 million this year. This is not an afterthought signing

Thoughts?

[Wyatt]

I admittedly don't know much about him, OSU Alum, 4 years in the NFL, NFL.com lists him as a DE, but everyone else says OLB.

Anyone have an opinion on him?

[Wyatt]

It looks like he and Luck have some familiarity atleast

[Puck]

These are the kind of signings I expected He has played pretty well the last couple of years, but hopefully our LB coach ... who is suppose to be outstanding... can improve him

Here's the PFF blurb (if you hate PFF, by all means drive thru, no need to stay and bitch):

5. John Simon, Edge
Another player that has earned himself a starting role in limited play, Simon could be a more attractive option to teams given the relative dearth of proven pass-rushing talent that is scheduled to hit the open market. Simon was a significant part of Houston’s formidable defensive front last season but injury cost him the majority of the second half of his season. Over the first half of the year only the New England Patriots were able to blank him from a pass-rushing standpoint, and he had three games in which he recorded at least one sack, hit and hurry. Simon has been an impressive situational rusher for the past few seasons, but may have earned himself a shot to start for somebody in 2017.

Also, arguably, possibly the best pass rusher we've acquired in 5 years.
