Colts release Pierre Desir; signed by Jets


Recommended Posts

I was thinking cb would be a possibility in round 2, but with this we could look more at edge or OT.

 

I think 3 for 18 with 10 gtd could do it. Then we have tre and him locked in for a couple of years at least. I would think this would be a no brainier.

Seems like their kind of guy 

 

 

 

Genuinely one of the nicest human beings I've ever had the pleasure of speaking to when he was at Lindenwood. He was very courteous and gave a nobody blogger like me more of his time than he needed to.

Have to think this would’ve been something we’d do if they didn’t sign Norman..... not a fan of the ex Carolina panther gatherings..... specifically Norman and Butler. 

 

Timing is everything.    If they knew a week ago that the Colts were going to cut him, maybe they don't sign Norman so quickly...

I’m supposed to come here and say he sucks now right? I wanted him the other day, but he signed elsewhere so now he’s terrible. ???

 

Well, if he'd rather play for the Jets...

I get the signing - I think he would have been a much better fit in Buffalo’s Defense than Greggo’s D in NY, but he gets to be CB1 and a chance at FA again next year.  In Buffalo - he was competing with Norman for the KJ role as Outside CB 3/4 with partial playing time.  
 

That role got KJ a puny 1 year 3.5M deal with Cleveland - so I truly understand the thought process.  I just think if they ask him to be CB1 and play a bunch of man - he is going to be exposed.

Would have been better-served being the #2 CB in Buffalo, having a great year and then cashing in in FA next year.

In Buffalo he'd have to compete for a starting job, in NJ he's guaranteed a spot. Wouldn't make sense for a CB to sign a 1 year prove it deal here. Our depth actually works against us there.

If he's scared of competition, then he's not the guy you want.  And likewise if he can't handily win the #2 CB spot and needs it to be handed to him.

Yes, but that did not work out great for KJ as playing part time got him a 1 year 3.5 M deal in Cleveland.  If he could surely beat out Norman and Wallace and would be the full time #2 - it would make sense, but splitting time is hard.  I also think the CB1 gig in NYJ will cause some issues for him, but we will see.

It's probably more attractive to go be a #1 instead of a #2/3 behind Tre White.

Yeah but Johnson didn't even beat out Wallace.  He couldn't even beat out Taron Johnson.  Again if he's looking to just be named a starter and not have to compete, he's not who the Bills want.

That's alright. He will have his one good year, then want to get away from Gase, and the Bills can scoop him up next year.
