We’ll keep track of today’s later-round signings here:
- The Colts announced the signing of offensive lineman Danny Pinter, a fifth-round choice who became the first pick on Indy’s board for a completed deal. Pinter, a 6’4″, 306-pound lineman out of Ball State, saw time at both right tackle and tight end during his time in college. As a pro, he figures to spend most of his time on the interior. “I love Danny, I’m not going to lie to y’all,’’ general manager Chris Ballard said after the draft (via Mike Chappell of FOX 59). “Actually we were trying to move up to get him. I probably won’t ever give y’all this much insight, but for like 30 minutes we were trying to move up and just couldn’t get up to get him.’’
- The Dolphins, meanwhile, have third-round safety Brandon Jones officially in the fold. Per the terms of his slot, the No. 70 overall choice will receive a four-year deal worth $4.87MM, including a $1.1MM signing bonus.
Every time I hear that y’all talk I long for the good old days when Bum Phillips was coaching.
Both Ballard and Bum hail from Texas!
I imagine every player secretly wanted to play for Bum. He was just this big lovable guy who always gave you a square deal if you gave it your best effort.
Heck yeah! Not sure if I can post links here but check out the SB Nation video on YouTube titled “Randall Cunningham seizes the means of production”. It’s a neat retrospective of the 1987 strike and how Bum and the Eagles showed integrity through the whole ordeal.
Bum’s last season was 1985. Think you meant Buddy Ryan. Y’all messed up.
Oh yeah. My bad
[leaves in shame]
Great video nonetheless
