LET'S BE FRANK THIS IS PURE LUCK

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 this and other NFL off-season moves visit THE BIRTH LLC and NFLwebsites.
