Colts sign Hankins (1 Viewer)

Big upgrade for the Colts defense.

Colts signed DT Johnathan Hankins, formerly of the Giants, to a three-year, $30 million contract.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal includes $14.5 million guaranteed. It's a big get for the Colts' talent-bereft defense, and as big of a loss for the G-Men. Hankins was one of the anchors of New York's top-five run defense last season. The No. 49 overall pick of the 2013 draft, Hankins just turned 25. He's been a bit inconsistent to this point in his career, but put a lot of great football on tape. GM Chris Ballard is off to a solid start in Indy.

Jay Bromley and Robert Thomas are on the roster right now.

The will probably look for a 3 technique in the draft

This could end up being a good move for both teams.

Indy needs the immediate help, sure thing.

NY has invested $ on the edges of the defense and this could be a good year to get a run-stopper at a discount in the draft. So many run stuffing interior players slid last year. If someone scores Adams/Johnson on day 3 that could be a steal. If Brantley is available on day 2 that wouldn't be a bad pick either.

Colts finally bolstering their d. This Titans fan really doesn't like this signing.
