Every once in a while, Colts owner Jim Irsay launches the Twitter equivalent of an Easter egg hunt. Currently, Colts fans are making guesses like crazy, and wondering if they’re getting warm.

On Saturday night, Irsay said that his team, which has been very active so far in free agency, is “working on a deal, one we’ve been working on for five days,” and that “we’re very, very close to making it work.”

Later, Irsay narrowed the range of potential guesses to one position: “Wide receiver!!“

But there aren’t many free-agent receivers with names justifying the use of two exclamation points. Darrius Heyward-Bey was cut on Tuesday, and Randy Moss still has some caché, baby.

That leaves restricted free agents, where Giants receiver Victor Cruz and Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders are the top targets. But with Irsay saying that the Colts have been working on the deal for five days and given that Cruz’s agent change delayed prevent CAA from talking contract during the five-day waiting period, it’s probably not Cruz.

Unless, of course, the Colts were spending the first part of the past five days coming up with an offer-sheet strategy with a 2013 cap number that would prevent the Giants from matching.

Either way, we’ll be keeping an eye on Irsay’s page for further updates.

Updated.

Emmanuel Sanders

Would be hilarious if it was that slapdick ROFL

Whats the word on Osi? Any rumors in our favor?

The biggest buzzing around Umenyiora is that the Giants want to bring him back, and that the Falcons are alledgedly interested. That's all I've seen.

Osi himself has said he'll play pretty much anywhere.

Osi has said, however, that he wants a starting gig. He would likely not get one in Kansas City.

Also, Osi tweeted this when a Chiefs fan asked him if he wanted to be a Chief:

Osi Umenyiora
@OsiUmenyiora

@TypeOjunkie @tambahali91 they got Tamba and Houston. They don't need anymore edge rushers!

Also, Tamba is really, really high on Alex Smith.

FYP

.

Osi is coming to kc watch! They need a bigger dline pass rusher

I would put the odds that Osi is a Chief at .00001%

Ill take those odds tamba wants him here

You really think the front office and Andy Reid is listening to who Tamba Hali wants on the team?

If he makes a case and it's a reasonable $ ya possibly. Do u think flowers had no input or nothing to do with Sean smith? They just happen to work out together and he was kc top target or one of em

:popcorn:LMAO

Flowers' buddy system worked pretty well with Carr.

No, Flowers didn't have any input to my knowledge.

The only way a player would have an input into another player is if they played together in the past.

I just don't see how he's a fit.

Were gona play a hybrid D, I think Osi can play hand in the dirt in a 43 and in 34 with Hali on his outside.

Why not invest in the position in the draft instead of paying a decent yearly rate to a guy that's had a questionable injury history and doesn't really enjoy being the 3rd fiddle on defense?

good thing you are 100 percent wrong and apparently never watched Osi play to know his skillset

I've never been objected to that I've said I like ansah and Jordan and want o e of those. You just have to excuse my man crush on Osi lol

And it wasn't about the buddy system with Carr he wanted paid and pioli wasn't paying 50 mil to 2 CBs

According to Spotrac, chiefs have about 4 mill in cap space left.

Yep. Seems like we are done unless we cut some players.

Need 5m to draft.

Cut studebaker restructure Alex like Jason cole said they may do and well have plenty

Need to restructure berry and hali

Lol. Athans buddy Twiddy is saying that # cant be true because hes hearing rumors of other things. Like us and Dansby and Long.

Actually after this year Halis number drops and is pretty favorable. I would keep the # as is.

You can sign Albert long term which will free up cap space.

Just give Albert a long term deal and get him off that 9.8m number

Well Dorsey has said he will negotiate with Albert and hopes to get a long term deal worked out before the reg season starts. Dorsey did say Albert is the LT of the future.

Next 3 days gonna be slow news days. Owners meetings at least we find out comp picks this week.

Unless you follow Dick Athan and Twiddy!! Chiefs news all day.

Lol what a joke..

Good. I got a lot of shit to catch up on at work.

The last week in FA killed me...

Ya if Albert is done they'll be in good shape. Probably waiting on Jake Long

Doug Baldwin - WR - Seahawks

Owner Jim Irsay recently tweeted that the Colts are pursuing a wide receiver, and the Indianapolis Star speculates it may be Doug Baldwin.
The Indy Star is just connecting dots, but they do connect. Baldwin was pushed down Seattle's depth chart following Percy Harvin's acquisition, and Baldwin played with Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and under new OC Pep Hamilton at Stanford. We suspect Seattle could net a fifth- or sixth-round pick for Baldwin.

Lol all the hype and it's Doug Baldwin lol

Clark Hunt should get a Twitter and tell us who we are going after.

Clark did say he will be more involved and vocal.

Lol would be funny

CH: hey ya'll don't worry we got this #genotime

That would be awesome.

Idk if he knows what a twiiter is though.

He didnt know that after 4 years Pioli was ****ing this franchise side to side and tearing this franchise apart.

Danario Alexander should be in KC.

What would it cost to get him?

Nothing the Chargers will match any offer.

Then, as I've been suggesting, we should run the bid up on them.

Nothing to lose if we bid what we would actually pay.

I sure would feel confident with a receivngcorps of

Bowe
Avery
Alexander
Baldwin
Copper
McCluster

You forgot Wylie.

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl

Raiders announced the signing of veteran LB Kevin Burnett.

Tjan why the hell have we not jumped on this offer. Alexander would replace Baldwin. Also he is from Mizzou.

nobody wants to jump at an offer because the guy is on 0 legs and borrowed time

Al Davis must of been high

Per Schefter
Memory of last owners meetings in AZ in 2007: Late, great Al Davis standing in lobby, saying how JaMarcus Russell reminded him of John Elway

Buzz I am hearing among GMs is that Jake Long will end up back in Miami. Rams still in the hunt but this isn't wreaking of a bidding war

Everyone thinks Miami had a good offseason.

They overpaid for what is at best a average WR.

They signed a MLB 7 mil a year who only played 7 games.

If Long comes back they will overpay a LT who is more injury prone than Albert.

Meanwhile at least Schefter sees the Chiefs as having the best offseason.

Updated.

Will Svitek is still in the league. Who knew.

Geoff Schwartz deal was 1 year

1 year deal 1.2m

What's his cap number?

Dude for real? It all counts

Ya everyone else got signing bonuses I didn't know

It's a 1 year deal everything counts.

Its all good. I wonder if the ILB spot will be addressed through FA or draft.

Remember Dexter Heyman who was a undrafted FA last year. I truly think he can fill the ILB spot. He is great in coverage and can stop the run just not as physical in the run. He would come for the league minimum.

A lush and a slush, close enough for those slipping into dementia.

I imagine that once Long signs, we'll have a better idea of what the market will be for Albert...and hopefully we can make our move then.

Getting Albert long-term + restructuring Berry + cutting Studebaker would give us plenty of room.

Other than Tyson Jackson (which really wasn't a restructure as much as a cut), we really haven't had to do any of the creative financing that most teams do on a regular basis.

Sign an ILB and call it a day. They'll go pass rusher in the 1st. Hopefully after trading down.

I hpe we take Ziggy Ansah after trading down.

Might want to save some room for those cut after the draft. Of course there could be a few cut here as well.

I could live with him after a move down. They really need an interior lineman that can penetrate and reek havoc. Poe can be that kind of guy too and if that happens this D will be sick. I really think the Eagles could be ripe for a partner.

I'd rather have Jordan. Big physical freak at 6'6"

I think Ziggy is a better fit watching him line up at OLB, DE and even the middle in a 3 line set. He can provide the interior pass rush the team needs along with the versatility to line up outside if needed.

We already have 2 pro bowl OLB.

Ansah is a DE/OLB. Same with Jordan.

Thing is who is a better pass rusher. Ansah and he has more potential.

Since were gonna be playing a 3-4/4-3 hybrid.

Our d line would be LDE-Ansah, DT-Devito, DT-Poe, RDE- Jackson.

If we aren't allowed to take Geno and can't trade down, I'm thinking Richardson, Ziggy, Jordan, or Mingo.

I've already conceded defeat in that. Moved on to looking at interior pass rushers and Ansah has stood out so far.

Plus Reid, Dorsey, and most of our Defensive staff went to his pro day.

Apparently Reid loves Ansah according to NFLDraftBible on twitter.

I'd be fine with a guy that can penetrate and get after the QB. An offensive tackle I can not get behind AT ALL.

I can penetrate.

I'd rather have Alexander. No question.

to the hole

IMO, Ansah is an OLB, not a 3-4 DE that can play the 3/4/5 tech.

Thats why I want Jordan i think he could bulk up and possibly play end

Would rather get a DE that can generate a pass rush than an OLB that will do the same.

Ziggy Ansah is listed as a DE not a OLB.
