pimpshiznid Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Defensive tackle Corey Simon, cut by the Philadelphia Eagles, agreed to a multiyear contract Thursday with Indianapolis in what could be a big boost for the Colts' defense.The Eagles removed the franchise tag on the former first-round draft pick Sunday, making him an unrestricted free agent. The negotiations with the Colts didn't take long, agent Roosevelt Barnes said. Barnes said he finished the deal "in principle" with Colts president Bill Polian on Thursday morning and that Simon, who has 32 sacks in his five-year NFL career, would probably be in Indianapolis on Friday for a physical. "Working with Mr. Polian and the fact that Tony Dungy is there, out of all the teams that were courting Corey, he felt like he's got the prettiest girl at the prom now," Barnes said.

Laughing-Man Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Anything to make the Eagles weaker. (Y) 586464970[/snapback] Ha, he is going to end up like Trotter, Hugh Douglas, Carlos Emmons, Troy Vincent, and Bobby Taylor. As soon as they left the Eagles they ended up doing nothing for their next teams.

DreAming in DigITal Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 This is a good move for the Colts...I was really glad to see this. I'm a big Colts fan, but I used to cringe when I watched their defense. They were as soft as the "Snuggle Bear" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366602-nfl-corey-simon-joins-the-colts/#findComment-586476695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing-Man Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Huuuuuuuuuuugh. Hugh Douglas is not much of a suprise, but John Ritchie is. Now we don't have anyone to participate in the Big Man Dance Off Challange. :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366602-nfl-corey-simon-joins-the-colts/#findComment-586477900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
