Lurker Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) The Bills should be all over this guy. Probably $6 million or so annual cap hit.

MiltonWaddams Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I’m really surprised by this move by the Colts. Desir graded out really well as a CB2 the past two seasons. Get em in the fold McBeane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got enough space to keep him and decide what they are going to do with all the QBs they got. Over 52 million tied up in QB cap. If this was happening in Buffalo this board would melt down!

Lurker Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) PIERRE DESIR, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS — 87.1 RED-ZONE GRADE Desir allowed a mere 14 yards in red-zone coverage but that was at the cost of three receptions allowed, with two of those receptions ending in either a first down or a touchdown. It wasn’t the prettiest coverage effort from the fourth-year corner, but he made up for it in run defense. Desir’s 91.3 run-defense grade in the red-zone is sixth-highest since 2006 for a qualifying cornerback — due in large part to the fact he didn’t miss a single tackle while racking up three stops inside the 20-yard line. It was a breakout year in many aspects for Desir, and it earned him a $7.5M-per-year contract this offseason.

TC in St. Louis Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'd like that. I'm sure he'll get scooped up at 12/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Get 'er done. He's definitely a process guy and an upgrade to the secondary. at 7m, I'd try to get him for 3-4 years. If Norman works out well we have some serious depth and wouldn't have to spend an early pick on CB. We can go RB/OT/LB with our first three picks.

He's a zone CB, so that will keep his cost down. But based on his last contract, not much below $6 million or so... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/pierre-desir-14538/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Desir, a long corner that excels in zone coverage and run defense, has proven to be a great fit for the Colts defense led by coordinator Matt Eberflus. The 28-year-old is also viewed upon as a leader in a very young secondary." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I am sure some team with a desperate need for a CB will jump all over it. I don't know if McBeane feels desperate right now. The only starting spot they might not feel secure about is CB2, so it might be a fit. Edited March 21, 2020 by njbuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that helps us is that Desir is a specific scheme fit, for your predominantly zone teams, so you can pretty much cut the number of suitors in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It depends on the money he wants, I wouldn't rule out Daryl Worley either who has Carolina ties and has played nicked/started at CB and still at a young age at 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Norman is your third with Levi as depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
