We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

Do we really want Ragland and Hitchens pursuing James White out of the backfield again?
Got a run stuffing LB with a little bit of movement skills. Most likely an early down SAM and backup. I like DOD. Hitchens was good in a 4-3 before so let’s put him back to where he is comfortable. I think we will draft one as well.
DL is mostly set. We are gonna draft someone to fill that spot in the first rd IMO. Would like one more FA DE for depth.
Secondary isn’t too shabby if we sign Darby. I’d use one of our 3 early picks on one. [Reply]
I know this has been kicked around a time or two, but I really can’t get a grasp on what the fuck Ballard is doing in Indy.
Sitting there still with around $90M in space. Obviously not about to spend much more of it. Team on the rise. I.... don’t get it.
Yeah, you don’t wanna go out and way overspend or sign shitheads. But you’ve gotta give a little here and there. Otherwise they’re going to wind up overspending on some guys anyways in a year or two so they can meet the ‘cap floor’.
I can see that team following a similar path as last year. But honestly, I don’t know if they even make the playoffs. Their division isn’t the cake walk that it used to be. [Reply]

If Jax can get their line straightened out they're the favs imo [Reply]

Pretty interesting how he and Veach are completely different. Ballard seems to be too conservative at times and Veach seems to be too reckless at times. [Reply]

I personally like that my GM’s aggressive like my QB [Reply]
I don't mind, and actually prefer Ballards approach. Build through the draft and sign cheap FA's. He's basically sitting on his hands for the first week till the nutjobs are done overspending. He took care of his own in Desir and got Funchess on a 1 year deal. I think we will see the Colts sign some guys next week but on cheaper deals.
He's more conservative than Veach and plays a different game, that's all. [Reply]
