Resign: Will fries, Danny Pinter, grant Stuard, Ashton Dulin… let everyone else walk. Cut/ trade: Braden Smith, Raekwon Davis, Samson Ebukam Restructure a couple of deals to open more cap space. FA signings: Justin Fields, BJ hill, Javon Holland, Mike Hilton Draft: Warren, 2-7 double down on Tackle, RB, CB, DE, LB. Here’s my reasoning: I wouldn’t trade Zaire. Lou made Wilson and Pratt good pieces on his defense when they struggled in pass coverage. When you look across the landscape of last years FA, most of the big time players who were signed outside of Barkley, hunter, McKinney, and greenard, seemed to struggle and weren’t worth the contracts given out. Safety is a postion where I would feel comfortable spending big time. Lou had his best defenses with having Jessie Bates be a main focal point of the secondary. Him and cross would make a good duo. Mike Hilton is a carbon copy of moore which seems like a stupid idea to bring him in, however, Lou could build the defense around multiple dime packages where he would be very effective. Lou stated the most important part of a defense is line. Adding Hill who is a starter caliber interior too be depth behind Buck and grove would be massive at keeping them fresh. 4. Fields is the best most inexpensive option for completion for AR 5. Ballard has proven he draft OL and LB as he rarely misses on those selections. Same with RB. Just need depth for edge and depth for corner and LB or comp for carlies.
@@tylermoore2736 your out of touch. Marietta has been on 6 teams and failed on every one of them. That bottom of the barrel thinking is what tanked the colts. Flacco and Gardner both are better than Mariota virtually in every category. Flacco was an mvp minshew was a pro bowler Mariota never been either. Justin fields is a good choice Joe Milton hendon hooker Stetson Bennett showed promise. They don’t have to be a free agent fyi
@@NicholasBailey-pp3id you really think Ballard gonna spend assets for a back up. Milton/Fields would cost. I’m almost certain the back up will be a FA I’m in The Winston camp. Could be a stretch that Mariota is better than Joe and Gardner but the rushing upside gives him the edge imo. Out of touch is thinking Ballard spends for Carr, Milton, or hooker. We need everything spent in the secondary and LB
Just draft a QB to compete with AR. It's cheaper and I'm tired of signing a different free agent QB year after year. It's never worked for us so let's stop trying it
Trade Mpj and buck. We are not going to compete for a SB next year let’s get draft capital. Get a bunch of young talent and put us in a position so if we have to trade up next year we have the picks to do so
If Colts are serious about bringing in real competition, especially at the QB position my first pick would be Derek Carr as he trully could beat out Riichardson……Im not sure the Colts are looking to threaten Richardson’s job, as much as wanting him to compete somewhat. I don’t see any negatives to Richardson having to learn from the sideline, as he is the youngest QB in the league.
I think Fields would be a big mistake he's not gonna be the guy we'd be in same boat. We need someone who can blatantly show they r better. If AR can step up fine. But with Fields, everyone will be doing the what if scenario. If fiekds starts theb AR woukd of won that Gane. If AR started theb Fiekds woukd of won that game. Besides, there's a reason they benched him over Wilson. His accuracybaint much better. I do think we need similar qb to AR tho, just not sound big bucks on Fields
Draft a QB to compete with AR. I'm tired of picking up free agent QBs every year. We've been doing that for almost 7 years straight now. There are a lot of decent QBs in the draft this year. If we can find one with a half decent arm that's consistent and can read a defense... AR could be in trouble. We just need a guy who can get more first downs than 3 and outs. Plus signing someone from free agency will be expensive. Take a kid in the draft and basically pay him nothing for the next 4 years.
So i am about tonsay something really really stupid lol. But if we can get him cheap enough, why not Watson. Drama aside hes shown he is capable of playing. There's the injury factor, but the again that will help AR, let AR learn from Watson. Let Watson start after gane 3 he will be injured and let AR start. Just a thought that sounds bad but kinda makes sense.
I see what you are saying.. bring in someone who is struggling more than AR that has a track record of being a distraction in the locker room and off the field.. I totally agree this would make AR appear to be better 💀
@gardockis.playground I seen he's possibly gonna miss 2025 season torn Achilles, inthink Watson has talent, Browns some reason has bad luck, I think he can still play I do not think he is mvp caliper anymore but he wouldn't be a permanent player anyways. I think his style matches AR better and even with the drama hes still better than Fields.
You sound crazy, no way they trade Z. Franklin. Get out yaw feelings about him. He's been the best line backer the past two years and because yaw cry babies mad at his podcast yaw say trade him. We need him. True COLTS FANS KNOW.
Real fans know he has so many tackles because every play runs thru him and he has the most missed tackles also... so he can go be crap for someone else and talk shit and give other teams reasons to want to smash us like he did with the giants this year I'm over him and there isn't a more real fan than me that exists... equal yes
He is a product of system Bradleys system funnels plays to middle linebacker If he was so good our defense would have been better overall, defense couldnt get off the field because of him, high number of tackles because he let running backs get 6 6 yards before he could make the tackle, and because teams were constantly running the ball with a lead
the homies got this one handled. lol. i liked Z. when i stopped lying to myself about the team and players i love, i saw what was real. leader in snaps and leader in tackles. wonder how that happens. lol
He was a 7th round pick that's mid at best. What do you think the colts will actually get for him??? A 7th round pick? He's not Brock purdy playing a premium position. MLB are easy to find
Go after JUWAN JOHNSON first of all. Get a lockdown CB. Get a good safety because Blockman will probably be gone. Ryan Clark may be gone. Go after Justin Fields. I believe he is better than AR ever will be. Tell AD it's okay to take a hit. I'm hearing they will probably keep woods 📢 SAY WHAT? 🤦♀️. Keep defensive ends healthy. Latu was defending the run this season and is a pass rusher. I'm very much so hating Richardson as a football player. Go after some depth on defense. It's not there. Keep Zaire. People he made a mistake. But he is a good LB. Speed is good when played right. I've seen it. I hear the draft is deep with RBs so I'm betting Taylor is traded and an RB gets drafted. Ballard needs to move fast in FA. We need JUWAN
And Justin fields had two opportunities to be a starter and what happend? I’d let Ar rock out this year Draft McCord Like round 5 need to replace Braden smith he outta here and we need RB depth and and a legit safety not just go out and buy band aid
First of all im disgusted by colts fans. I didnt think our fans were this trash but here we are. Free agents dont come to indy! Ballard has tried to get guys in here, but they dont want to come. We get the leftovers nobody else wants to sign(flacco). I do hope we can get some real talent but chances are we wont. Our best bet would be trade off some of our vets and rebuild in the draft. Feilds will be signed by another team, but not us so stop dreaming
Alot of arm chair expertise opinions on here....Most likely bout as right now as you were before the last season started...VERY LITTLE !!!! ...Where you know it all wannabe GM's stump me is with your burning desire to prove it.....AGAIN
ohh sorry. let me not make content, just because im not an NFL GM or scout. i forgot that they all have youtube channels to discuss these types of things... this is a fan driven brand. im a fan. the people that subscribe are fans. and i do my best to observe, report and discuss. thats my job and you're god damn right im gonna do it again and im gonna do it bigger and better this year. feel free to not be here for it bruv
We have 0 TE'S, 0 linebackers, no corners, only 2 receivers, and 1 running back. We are screwed!
Bean should be given a legitimate chance. They never planned on playing him last season regardless of how he looked in preseason or his potential.
ANYBODY is better than TylernGoodson. He's no better than a #4.
I really need them to sign Justin Fields. Dang near begging at this point.
@@simsryan1991 exactly who they should go after. I agree.
Resign: Will fries, Danny Pinter, grant Stuard, Ashton Dulin… let everyone else walk.
Cut/ trade: Braden Smith, Raekwon Davis, Samson Ebukam

And Lou took the Defensive Coordinator job, front office will not get him much help
Good lord
Watching this as the news breaks we signed WR Ajou Ajou 🤣
Dude STOP with that Marcus Mariota bs
Who do you want hot shot? Marcus is better than Joe and Gardner. The playbook doesn’t change much w him either

Not Buck but MPJ I'm okay with
I'd be really happy if we got Justin fields but the Colts never do what I want lol so I doubt it happens
it’s not only up to the colts lmao. Fields probably would rather stay with Pittsburgh, or a place like Vegas over coming to compete with ar.
