4. Marcus Freeman
5. Ejiro Evero

One great thing that what trading these players on expiring contracts does for the new Gm is that he won't have to go dishing out large amounts of money to retain any of our own free agents next year. Our new GM will have near $100 million to spend on whoever he wants!

[Zach Hicks @ZachHicks2]

Just in case anyone thought Ed Dodds was actually a candidate for GM: Irsay-Gordon only let him trade expiring contracts. Team controlled assets were only getting moved if they got a steal.

They didn’t want him disrupting anything the next GM could have a choice on lol

3 wide receivers I would like to see the Colts sign off practice squads:

Noah Thomas
Ke’Shawn Williams
Bub Means

[Colt Following @ColtFollowing18]

A 4th for Grover the Colts should have jumped at. Had to be a pick swap.

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

Sources: The #Colts had an offer for DT Grover Stewart last week involving a 4th-round pick and another late-round pick, but waited on it and it was ultimately pulled.

Indy keeps Stewart, who will be a free agent in March.

NGL

12 Draft picks is a lot better shape than when Ballard left the organization…

OUT - Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Keenan Allen, Josh Downs and a 7th round pick.

IN - Two 3rds, two 4ths, two 5ths and a 6th round pick.

[Zach Hicks @ZachHicks2]

Only big expiring deal the Colts didn’t trade was Grover Stewart. To me, that indicates that the Colts would like to re-sign him and he’d likely be open to returning.

Comes down to the new GM, though

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

The Colts also decided not to trade Grover Stewart, who had strong interest from contenders.

Stewart, who just turned 33 years old, will be a free agent at season’s end.

Along with keeping Jonathan Taylor, another peculiar decision from the Colts.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

It’s a 4th rounder and 5th rounder for Downs and a 7th rounder.

[Indianapolis Colts @Colts]

We have signed WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and signed LS Jacob Bobenmoyer to the practice squad.

[Destin Adams @TheDestinAdams]

I mean if the Colts won’t do a deal for a 2nd them the pricing is obviously not correct 🫣🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN]

Chiefs had a fourth on the table for a while, Colts held out for a third-round value, found a sweet spot at the deadline.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Colts’ return for Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Josh Downs and Keenan Allen:

🏈2027 3rd + 2028 5th (SEA, Nelson)
🏈2027 4th (SF, Buckner)
🏈2027 4th + 5th (KC, Downs + a 2027 7th)
🏈2027 6th (SF, Allen)

[Colt Following @ColtFollowing18]

Didn’t have to give up a 2nd like the Raiders wanted. Good deal for both and Kirko is back in Minny which I love for football.

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

The #Vikings have acquired QB Kirk Cousins in a trade with the Raiders.

The completion of this trade is pending Cousins passing a physical.

[Zach Hicks @ZachHicks2]

Better than expected return. Love it

[Colt Following @ColtFollowing18]

Didn’t get a 1st round pick so they kept him. I am good with that.

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy.

[Colt Following @ColtFollowing18]

Actually a better trade overall. Getting a 4th and 5th is awesome for a player who requested a trade.

[The Blue Stable @TheBlue_Stable]

BREAKING:

The #Colts are trading WR Josh Downs and a 7th for a 4th and 5th round pick from the Chiefs. Grade the trade in the comments ⬇️

[Colt Following @ColtFollowing18]

Happy for Downs to play for a contender. Happy for the Colts to get a 4th round pick for him which seems right.

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

BREAKING: The #Colts are trading WR Josh Downs to the #Chiefs for a package that includes a 4th-round pick, per sources.

A new weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
