NFL free agency will begin soon and suspense is beginning to build around
what players will end up where. Some surprising restructuring is beginning to
take place amongst many organizations. For a week now the news that Ndamukong
Suh was leaving the Detroit Lions has flooded media sources. Today news broke
that the New England Patriots will not honor Darelle Revis with a 20 million
option. His contract expiration will enable him to shop the market for what
could be the final contract of his NFL career. The 29 year old all-pro legend
will be looking to maximize his income by signing the most incentive ready
offering.
The story of the day has been revolved around all-pro running back Frank
Gore and wide receiver Andre Johnson. Gore was allegedly supposed to finalize a
deal with the Philadelphia Eagles which had been in negotiation for about a
week now but NFL sources are now reporting that Frank has opted out with the
Eagles and sought another option. Apparently, Frank Gore held council with
former Eagles running back Lesean McCoy and former college teammate Andre
Johnson (currently a free agent as well) and was he was informed that a deal
with the playoff ready Indianapolis Colts could be met with expedience. A few
cons of signing with the Eagles were the lack of certainty at the quarterback
position and the rapport of head coach Chip Kelly in regards to his
relationship with high caliber players like Desean Jackson and Lesean McCoy.
Luckily, the Colts have Andrew Luck to accommodate with the possible edition
of these veteran players. It doesn't end there though. Former Eagles outside
linebacker Trent Cole is also planning to sign with the Indianapolis Colts in a
deal that reportedly is being arranged with Colts administrates. Last season
the Colts were hindered by that lack of toughness both in the running game and
in run defense. Trent Cole and Frank Gore can be an aid to this error and bring
reconciliation to these areas. With the Indianapolis Colts coming just one win
short of the Super Bowl last season these off-season signings can be huge
implications for their success in 2015. For more information regarding
