re-ups with GB for 4/39M, 12.5M. signing bonus. Vontae is licking his chops.

Agreed. This is going to put Vonte out of the Colts reach, I believe. |

Not out of our reach, just eliminating chances to sign others if we sign him to a similar deal. |

I'd let him walk, sign a reasonably priced vet after things soften in about a week. Start addressing other needs that we have besides CB. I feel confident that Grigson can find a real good CB at 58 and even at 90, if he so desires. I'd hate to see him panic and relinquish a ridiculous chunk to one player like a Davis, as good as he is perceived to be. Seems like Vontae, Verner and Byrd are gonna score some serious coin in a few days... Start at 10M per... Edited by errsay, Mar 8 2014, 11:40 PM.

Well, I guess were going in without Vontae. Really unfortunate, I thought for sure we finally had a good corner that would be a pillar here for years. Only 25 years old, damn shame. |

If I'm Grigson, and I can convince Jimbo to submit...I'd offer a take it or leave it, 5/50M deal with a 15M signing bonus, with salaries of 5M, 6M, 7M, 8M, 9M. If he says no to that offer, I move on and address other needs, while focusing on grabbing a press-CB in round 2. Baptiste as a prime example. I'd also be on the phone YESTERDAY with Hakeem Nicks, who is healthy and willing to play for a 1-2 year deal. Forget Decker and his ridiculous price tag.

Nicks could definitely be a low risk/high reward signing given his recent past of missing games. |

I hope that the Colts are right about now zeroing in on Arthur Jones. There are still a few capable CB's out there, if Vontae wants to play hardball. Love to have Nicks, but at this point we still need a NT, CB, and a C. Would be really nice to bring in a quality C & NT and upgrade the middle of both lines. |

Re-signing Vontae and signing Jones would go a long way to a good offseason start. |

If we're going to throw 10 mil a year at one guy, I'd rather have Byrd than Davis. I love Vontae and think he was the second best guy on our defense last year, but he just hasn't been consistent enough to pay him like a top 5 guy. Too much risk for my tastes. |
