Vrabel isn’t knowingly going to tell anything of value to the press or in a Q&A. They are just going about their business and we will find out when whatever happens finally happens.
And most of this quote can be packaged and used every single year in FA.
"When you go into free agency, there's a lot of things about player acquisition that go into it: What is best for your football team? Cost is also a part of it. The fit is a part of it, and then the need..... there will be other veteran players that become available that we'll have discussions on, ... There's a lot of things that go into bringing in free agents, certainly ones that are past 30 or in the back half of their career. Those are all things that you wage and determine"
Exactly the same speak occurs every year and did around Clowney.
We need a Watt type and he knows Vrabs well.
If we can clear some cap space I like our odds

Watt is a risk versus reward signing. If he is able to stay healthy that would be huge. The thought of Watt and Clowney being healthy with Simmons and Landry improves the defense greatly.

Gross. Fuck Watt, I don't want him here at all.

I agree. Only way is they both agree to come for less money or some cap friendly deal. And I don’t see it happening.
Dont think Clowney is getting a big pay day. Gonna be another prove it contract.
Yup looks like Tennessee and Green Bay lead the race hmm
John Clayton says Packers among 3 teams in contention for J.J. Watt
They HAD a great front 7. Indy could lose a TON of key starters from last year in free agency and retirement and will need to replace or re-sign them.
Anthony Costanzo, Ty Hilton, Justin Houston, Denico Autry, Marlon Mack, Xavier Rhodes, Malik Hooker, Anthony Walker, Jacoby Brisset and like ten other solid components of last years team.
That is a LOT with just $40 million in cap space
Where have you been? Have not seen the posts about how tough Indy is and how they have a ton of money to spend and the Titans will be lucky to get a WC berth going forward because Indy was in this great position? It’s already been decided that Indy is wing the division for the foreseeable future by some of the fans in here. How dare you bring facts into the discussion?
His prove it one year deal last year was 10 mill. Will Watt be much less? I can’t imagine it will be. If we signed both to multi year deals and got a low cap number for this first year then perhaps it will be possible. But I don’t see it happening.
Me neither. He could have something left in the tank, but he’s well past his prime, and frequently injured. I don’t see the appeal. We’ve tried to fill this position with aging veterans the last two seasons. Is FO incapable of scouting pass rushers?
I don't see us being the team to offer him that much. The Titans know he's an aging DE with a lot of missed games. That kind of money needs to go to someone who is still on the front side of their career.

There’s no strong evidence to convict them on the ability to choose edge rushers.
Interesting. I really thought with his age and injury history he’d be more in the $10-$12 mil range.
If we will be fine and over the cap and FAs to sign why won't Indy be fine or in better position being so much under the cap?
They now have a QB in place
JJ Watt will be a Brown I think
