I was really hoping we would have a deal in place for Bradshaw by now. Minicamp starts today and we needed to clear up the running back situation. The Ballard/Brown combination will be it for now. This is the time for Brown to step up, if he can.
hey,...maybe they're all still out ~partying~ with the [colt's] owner.....?!wow..11 posts in almost a year and a half.
now 12.
Free agent safeties have not been a popular item for teams shopping for players this offseason, but a couple of them are getting a look from the Colts on Monday.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Colts are meeting with Tre Boston and Kenny Vaccaro. Vaccaro visited the Dolphins last month, but the market has been otherwise quiet for both of them.
Boston had 79 tackles and five interceptions for the Chargers last season. It was his only season with the Chargers, who signed Boston after he was waived by the Panthers last May. Vaccaro, the 15th pick in the 2013 draft, had 60 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three interceptions in his fifth season with the Saints.
The Colts took Malik Hooker in the first round of the 2017 draft and is recovering from a torn ACL. Boston or Vaccaro would give them an experienced partner for the second-year player or some insurance in the event he’s not ready to go in September.
Running back Terrance West continues to look for a job. He visited the Colts on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.
He visited the Eagles last week.
West, 27, appeared in only five games for the Ravens last season before injuring his quadriceps on October 8. Alex Collins became the lead back in West’s absence last season, making West an inactive on game day upon his return.
The Colts drafted running backs Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins but still could use depth.
West has 1,816 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in his career, having spent time with Cleveland, Tennessee and Baltimore.
Colts coach Frank Reich wasn’t lying when he said quarterback Andrew Luck was “real close” to throwing actual footballs.
Today he did, though only to people very close to him.
Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star was like the guys who get video of Bigfoot, providing the footageof what was thought to the a mythical creature.
Luck apparently threw about 10 passes, mostly to retired wideout Reggie Wayne, and they were all around 10 yards.
While that doesn’t seem like much, it’s the first time anyone has seen Luck throw a football since last October’s failed attempt to come back from shoulder surgery.
Luck is scheduled to talk to reporters after practice.
