Can't wait to see the high price Decker brings in with the Colts.

Seems like the WR and RB market has been pretty quiet so far. I know Decker won't have trouble finding a contract but not sure it will be as high as he was hoping even just a month ago. With the combine showing how deep this receiver class is teams might be a bit more reluctant to throw big money for a #2 receiver. RB's are finding it even harder. From what I understand they are getting very few phone calls from teams right now.

I wouldn't be so sure... Ever since Mike Wallace got $60mil it made me think anything is possible. But then again, the FA pool wasn't as deep (Wallace & Jennings were the top 2 from what I remember?).

Who did Grimes sign with?

Who did Grimes sign with?

Dolphins

Dolphins

Yep very pleased with it too! Delmas looks solid as well just as long as he's healthy. Now if they do get a LT that would be huge....any one of them would be an upgrade.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

So what big name free agent do we all see signing first? And to where?

I think Decker is one of the first to sign, think he goes to the Colts.

Colts re-sign Adam Vinatieri

The Indianapolis Colts have retained Adam Vinatieri, agreeing to terms with the veteran kicker on a new contract Tuesday.
Vinatieri, 41, agreed to a two-year deal with the Colts, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The Colts announced the deal Tuesday morning on their Twitter page.

Vinatieri converted 87.5 percent of his field goals attempts (35 of 40) last season and made 15 from between 40 and 49 yards and four from at least 50 yards.
Last season, he became the seventh player in NFL history to score at least 2,000 points. He has 16 seasons with at least 100 points.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Vinatieri helped the New England Patriots win three Super Bowls earlier in his career.
