Default 2022 NFL Free Agency

Is it just me or should the Colts not be re-signing those of their free agents that they want to retain?

The "soft" free agency period starts at noon tomorrow and we have not re-signed a single of our pending free agents.

Do we really not want to retain any of our guys?

I think we do, but could it be that Ballard wants to get the QB first? Or he is targeting other players at the same position?

I do know that we need to sign about 20 players just to fill out the roster, so we will be signing a few back.

Will it be typical Ballard fashion and get the leftovers on Day 3 or jump right in?

Za'Darius Smith is being released by the Packers. He put up 26 sacks in his first two years with Green Bay before missing nearly all of last year with an injury.

I've been a big supporter of Ballard. It is waning. At some point your team needs to start winning. In his 5 year tenure we have had one post season win-in 2018. WTF did Irsay mean by 'all in'? It is early but I expect the Colts to spend some of that cap money on someone other than day 3 signings. This losing is getting old.

I tend to agree but fixing the qb position is the only really important job Ballard has, imo. That’s all that really matters.

That's a good contract. I imagine he took a hometown discount since he went to Temple.
Quinton Nelson will soon be making more money than Haasan Reddick! Lol!

I completely agree with your post.

to me, irsay's comment about 'all chips in' just meant full commitment to the team. this was a direct dig at wentz who irsay felt wasnt committed to doing what it takes to win. not necessarily a comment to ballard to go balls out with signings. I think it was a bad phrase to use and has been misconstrued. he was talking about commitment vs. extreme risk.
