DT Mitch King signed to a Future Contract
Shake - get excited...
Well, this offseason roster is already getting me excited about next year and we haven't even played our last game of the 2009 season yet. As I posted last week, we had 4 guys signed to the 2010 roster, but here's another that many people on this site were watching intently come draft day and were hurt when he chose Tennessee over Indy.
Wonder if he wishes he could be playing for a ring in two Sundays? Hope he contributes to this team in the future. I think Bill knows he always gets his man.

I saw this on King's wikipedia page a few days ago,
but I couldn’t find any ACTUAL confirmation, so I never said anything.
Based on how he was hyped pre-draft (“HE’D BE A STEAL IN THE FOURTH ROUND!!!”), I have high hopes that he’ll be able to come in and make contributions to the team.
I also heard a rumor from Mitch's home town that this was going to happen
But likewise, without confirmation I didn’t say anything.
Ok, what is a “future” contract and when does it start?
by the_iowa_hawkeye on Jan 27, 2010 7:24 AM EST up reply actions
basically,
he’s been signed to the roster, but not effective immediately.
He’ll officially be part of our team as soon as the 2010 offseason starts.
Yeah...
I kept seeing it in Wikipedia too, but whoever updated that didn’t put in a reference. I keep looking around until I finally found it referenced on Scout.com, which has been reliable in the past.
I only saw him beat up on Purdue a few times in college, but I remember him being disruptive, which is a good thing for our Dline.
GO HORSE!
I remember draft day
When he kept on falling and people were mad about every pick no matter who it was because it was not King. We got him now! He still probably would have been a better pick than Jaimie Thomas though.

Hey yah, go horse
You guys have GOT to protect Peyton. I’m an NFC die-hard of 52 years, but you guys have got to protect Peyton. They will come at him, just protect him, and you will win the game.
skol
Honestly, I don't really know all that much objective info about him
But after listening to Shake all offseason, I’m pumped
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
you watch the Orange Bowl this year?
Clayborn’s game was the most disruptive DL performance I’d seen since King was at Iowa.

that didn't come out how I wanted it. Re-do
King was never Clayborn in the Orange Bowl disruptive, but Clayborn pre-Orange Bowl had never been Mitch King disruptive.

ALRIGHT!
Ive been a huge king advocate since he came out of college last year. The kid may not be that big for a DT, but he has all the tools that the Colts want in a DT. He reminds of Eric Foster, in terms of his physical structure. Word is, the kid can really rush the passer.
Along with the rumor that I heard earlier
Was the compinon rumor that one of the things they were looking to King for was to have him shed a few pounds and play as LB, which was the position he played in high school and the position he was recruited as in college. He switched his first year to DT his redshirt year and then started at DT for the next four years.
Again, this is unconfirmed but did come from the same source that said he had been brought to Indy for a workout and would likely be given an offer.

Watch his first step off the line around the 1:28 mark. WOW!
52.5 career tackles for loss
He lived in opposing teams backfields.

I've never seen the Colts this active in the offseason period
Even though their season isn’t over. It seems like they’re just snapping up top free agents left and right. If they can get their hands on a top tackle next year they’ll be scary good.
wooooooo!
Mitch King was brought up so damn much in the open threads on draft weekend last year. Its awesome to know that he will get a shot to make the roster next season.
I’m curious as to what they saw in King that was so much better than Adrian Grady. They are basically the same guy.
I don’t quite get this move to be honest. That is unless Polian wants to replace Dawson or Moala.
Huh?
Both of our starting DTs, Muir and Mookie, are FAs.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year.

by gizzardfanny on Jan 27, 2010 8:18 AM EST up reply actions
Muir and Mookie are exclusive rights FAs though
which really isn’t free agency at all. If the Colts offer them league minimum deals they can’t sign elsewhere.

Still...
they lose nothing by not keeping them (as in signing/roster bonuses).
I think we agree, though. It’s never a disadvantage to have more guys to chose the final roster from.

That's what I was thinking.
It’s a future contract, not a middle-of-the-season move, so there’s not really a downside to what basically amounts to a try-out.

During the draft I had serious reservations about Moala
But I’ve been surprised at how little he’s produced. Though I have to keep in mind it was his rookie year and he wasn’t exactly starting. But still, only 7 tackles?

Give him another year or 2.

I was wondering what that sound I heard was
must’ve been Shake doing his King dance
How can you not love a team that does this?
came to Iowa as a 230lb LB
they ran him through their weight program and he came out an undersized, all-american DT.
Stuff like that happens a lot at Iowa.
This guy arrived as a lanky TE
