Colts won’t re-sign Pat Angerer

The Colts had linebacker D’Qwell Jackson in for a visit this week and they’re likely looking at him as a possibility to play inside linebacker alongside Jerrell Freeman next season.

They aren’t considering Pat Angerer for another shot at that role. Angerer is set to become a free agent on Tuesday and the Colts have let him know that he’s not part of the team’s plans in the future.

“They gave me a heads-up I would not be re-signed by them,” Angerer said, via the Indianapolis Star. “I understand. I’ve been hurt the past two years. It’s part of the business. It’s part of the game. There comes a time when you’ve got to move on. I wish I could have played better here. I wish I hadn’t gotten hurt.”

Angerer ended last year on injured reserve with a knee injury and had surgery that he’s rehabbing from right now. He anticipates being ready to return to action in June or July, although it remains to be seen how much that injury (and a foot that’s been surgically repaired twice) will impact interest on him on the open market.

Angerer was the 63rd pick of the 2010 draft and started 39 games for the Colts over the last four seasons. Jackson is expected to make a decision about his next team soon and the Colts will be in the linebacker market if he opts to sign somewhere else.

On this note, the Colts just gave Jackson a deal very near to what we paid Suggs. Already looking like a solid deal.

Jackson hasn't had any huge injuries.

Baltimore opted not to place the franchise tag on Monroe, which would have cost $11.65 million.

The Ravens have other free agents that they would like to keep. Defensive end Arthur Jones is coming off a breakout season and could see high offers on the open market. The team has also expressed desire to re-sign linebacker Daryl Smith, cornerback Corey Graham and tackle Michael Oher.

General Manager Ozzie Newsome and Senior Vice President of Football Administration Pat Moriarty are working with Monroe’s agent to work out new contracts.

Harbaugh joked that Newsome and Moriarty are getting tired of him calling them and asking whether they’ve heard any news.

“We’re working really hard to get that done right now,” Harbaugh said. “We want to keep our guys. We want our guys to be here just like Dennis [Pitta]. We want to keep those guys. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/John-Harbaugh-Aggressive-Offers-Given-To-Free-Agents/ce1b83b7-d540-465f-89b1-47ffeb9740d2
