Colts Free Agency Thread

[Bonkers4Bacon]

adam vinatieri is a big-time hunter as well. Lots of African safaris and trophies to his name. I have a sneaking suspicion that he's on INGO in some capacity, but I honestly don't follow the hunting / long-gun stuff all that much.

If thats the case-- we love you Vinny!

True. He's had a few segments taped at his house or out on expedition hunts, and he's a big game hunter. He's got tons of stuffed heads and skins all over his basement.

Colts re-signed safety Mike Adams. Sergio Brown signed with the Jags, we are still in need of another safety. I'm glad we kept Adams

Frank Gore and Trent Cole signings both official now. Reports are that Andre Johnson will also sign with the Colts

Looks like we got Andre Johnson. That's pretty cool.

NFL Johnson lands 3-year, $21M deal - ESPN

Adding pieces to an already dangerous offense. Grigson isn't foolin' around!

I'm not sold on Johnson. Reminded me of Reggie this year.

Last year he had 200+ more yds than Reggie. The two seasons before that were a couple of the best seasons of his career. Potential Hall of Famer and he's had awful QBs. He won't tear up the league because of our balanced attack, but he will be a reliable addition to the receiving core.

I'm wondering how it will work with Frank Gore. I mean, does he get hurt in the preseason, or will he wait until week 4?

Just kidding of course. I've been a fan of Gore and I hope he bucks the "30+ year-old running back" trend and has a good couple of seasons with the Colts.

IF he can block for Luck I'll be satisfied. Naw, I won't stop there. The "O" line should learn how to run block. NO ONE will succeed

Thats the real concern. Our O line needs some help.

Indeed...and frustrating to know that we haven't had much in the way of a good O-line (across the board) since not long after Edge left.

Thus far, I'll give the Colts a definite "A" grade in their releases and acquisitions. Hopefully a good draft (HAH!) will be forthcoming.

Richardson is finally gone!

Richardson is finally gone!

and if they don't fix the O Line Gore will fare little better than Richardson.

 

[Indyhd]

I'm hoping to see Line help, both offensive and defensive as draft choices in the first 5 rounds. Word has it that this draft should be very good on offensive linemen.

Raiders picked him up.

Raiders picked him up.

They're quickly approaching a 20 year history of terrible decisions...

The Raiders will push .500 this season IF not better. They're spending money, new coaching staff, etc. Not an easy "W" for teams marking W&L on the schedule. Don't take them for granted.
