PrintInstead of trying to cram all the updates into a FanShot, I'll try to keep this story updated with any player that signs with the Colts. Just add in the update in the comments.
Undrafted Free Agents signed with the Colts [11:31 am Tuesday]:
- Rutgers S Joe Lefeged
- TCU C Jake Kirkpatrick - Highlight Video via ColtsFan504
- Nebraska TE/HB Mike McNeill
- Penn State LB Chris Colasanti
Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien(We think this is official nowSigned with Chargers)- Maryland LB Adrian Moten
- Virginia Tech RB Darren Evans (from Warren Central H.S. in Indy)
- Wisconsin WR/KR David Gilreath
- Northern Illinois RB/KR Chad Spann (from North Central H.S. in Indy)
- Maryland P Travis Baltz
It's important to note that none of these movies become "official' until tomorrow, which is, of course, silly seeing as the players and their agents are already on Twitter congratulating each other on the signings.

good start
Hard to get too excited but Scouts Inc did have the Rutgers guy as the top available undrafted free agent and Ive seen that Kirkpatrick is the top undrafted center so hopefully at least one of them will turn out to be good
Jake Kirkpatrick looks real decent
Heres a highlight video of him

Free will is an illusion, but pragmatically, the illusion of self (ego), choice, freedom, consciousness, are all necessary for the game or struggle to move. No struggle, no universe.

Just watched the video, great pick up! The guy looks like he plays hard every play and that’s speaking highly of the guy considering this isn’t his highlight reel. Hope he makes the team…

I’m not seeing many people left worthy of getting excited about. Is there anyone out there who would like to see a name called out for the Colts?

Lester Jean – Florida Atlantic WR
Cedric Thornton – Southern Arkansas DT

Kinda pissed to see Ian William heading to the 49ers!
You shouldn’t let home town boys get away from your backyard. Especially considering the need for a 1-Tech DT. Hope they get someone on Friday if tonight is a bust.

This, I am disappointed
We need to get quality DL guys and Ian Williams was the best 1-tech DT available. I expect the Colts to play free agency since the DT position is a hard one for rookies to play. So, it is up to Moala and a re-signing of Antonio Johnson. I anticipate Drake Nevis more as a pass rushing DT, used more for passing downs.
Kelly Gregg
Kelly Gregg of the Ravens, DT, is about to be released. Haloti Ngata’s new contract might make it difficult to match a decent offer for a DT like Kelly Gregg.
The guy is in his mid thirties, I’m not sure how much he has left to offer. There’s opportunity there but, better options out there.

I agree
My first option is Barry Cofield, given his height and stats of recent years in the interior. Brandon Mebane and Kelly Gregg would be the next 2 options.
Cofield is my top choice also!

Colts sign Tolzien

Check that
Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien thought about Colts, went to Seahawks

Why won't he?
He does not want to be the next Jim Sorgi from Wisconsin all over again. I guess Painter’s job is safe for now :-)
OK
Now people Tweeting me saying Colts signed him. (mind exploding)

HA! Did anyone see Will Hill to the Redskins
Anybody willing bet how long this trouble maker can stick with a team?

Joe Lefeged
Chances of him being a kickoff/punt returner?
{ ZuKeO}
by BobInBlue on Jul 25, 2011 11:54 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
That was my first thought
when i saw we signed him, i thought they must be interested in his return skills…. should be interesting to see how it pans out… plus a hard-hitting safety is always fun to watch
Derrick Locke
Derrick Locke could be the answer there, I am sure he is mulling several offers right now before choosing his team. Just don’t go to the Pats or Chargers. It would be like the Chargers with 2 Sproles, if they get Derrick Locke
Rams might be getting him
Derrick Locke might go to the Rams, the NE patriot UDFA tracking web page says.
News from San Diego
Bob Sanders tore his biceps tendon packing his bags for training camp, will start on PUP.
Oh well, I was kidding :-).

Derrick Locke
If we can get Derrick Locke from Kentucky as an UDFA, that would be nice.

Hasselback to 49ers
Based on this, Hasselback to 49ers???
http://www.kffl.com/gnews.php?id=727435-49ers-matt-hasselbeck-to-join-rivals?
That is a bold prediction for Steve Young to make, true prediction or not. I am sure the Seahawks want no part of that
Texans
WTH, they got Jeff Maehl, now they get Terrence Tolliver too??? Those are 2 good young wideouts. Not to mention Dorin Dickerson that they got last year and plan to convert him to WR from TE in college.
Tolzien from Wisconsin
is listed as coming. Will the Colts look at any of the FA QBs like Gradkowski, or Charlie Fry or even Sorgi with Manning’s status in question?
Forget the last post
I just saw the Nate Davis article that just posted!
Noticed the Packers signed Shaky Smithson (KR)
Don’t know who he is but man, what a great name for a Kick Returner…
Virginia Tech RB Darren Evants to Colts
Via Twitter:
“DTTJEvans Darren Evans
Never been more proud to be from Indianapolis than I am right now…I’ll take the hometown kid title and run wild bc I’m a #Colt”
As a VT alumni I am very happy about this signing, he has a lot of potential and is a hard runner, also an Indy Native. Had a tough break with the knee injury going into his Sophomore year.
Any word
on where BC linebacker Herzlich has gone? If at all??

Thanks..I wish him luck!!
