@MikeWellsNFL Luck is a big selling point to FA on the O side. What is the draw for Defensive FA on that side of the ball? Suh, etc.
— james murphy (@4thjames) January 30, 2015Wells: Andrew Luck is a selling point for every aspect of the organization. You’re talking about a 25-year-old quarterback who is headed into just his fourth season. His first three seasons include three straight 11-win seasons, back-to-back AFC South division titles, three playoff appearances in which they moved a step further each season. Those are some pretty good selling points Luck can use.
@MikeWellsNFL Did D. carter officially sign a reserve/future contract?
— Stephen Riggs (@IrishColt1) January 30, 2015Wells: Duron Carter hasn’t officially signed yet. It’ll happen, though. You're going to have to take the wait-and-see approach with Carter, though, as there’s no guarantee he’s going to come in and make an immediate impact. He put up impressive numbers in the Canadian Football League, totaling 75 receptions, more than 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns. But one league official said Carter’s still raw and will need time to develop. Carter might be asked to contribute quite a bit next season depending on what happens with Reggie Wayne and who the Colts add in the offseason.
@MikeWellsNFL Should Colts pick top center in round one or two? Neither Holmes or Harrison are certain as a long-term answer.
— Andrew mLuck (@AmLuck12) January 30, 2015Wells: There’s no reason for the Colts to draft a center in the first or second round. They’re not throwing in the towel on Khaled Holmes or Jonotthan Harrison because they like both of those players. Holmes started the final five games of the seasons and will head into next season as the starter.
@MikeWellsNFL Will Donald Thomas be the starting LG next year? How old is he and will that quad ever be 100% ?
— Gary Ottinger (@gottinger56) January 30, 2015Wells: No. Jack Mewhort will be the Colts’ starting left guard for years to come. Thomas will be in the mix for the starting right guard position next season. The Colts used Hugh Thornton, Lance Louis, Joe Reitz and A.Q. Shipley there at different points throughout the season. The key for Thomas is to prove he can stay healthy. A torn bicep and torn quad ended Thomas’ 2013 season in Week 2, then Thomas re-tore his quad during training camp this season.
