Pelissero says the ultimate high offer was a 2 and a 4 on JT. Unclear what team offered it, as he says the Giants and another team showed a serious level of interest
Says the Colts wouldn’t have moved off unless they got 1) a R2 pick and 2 more picks or 2) a 1 and a sweetener
Trying to maintain optionality for the new GM. They don’t think the offers in offseason if needed will be much lower barring an injury

@cabtot33 I don’t hate them at all, but the Eagles have a great roster and a ton of money so they have a lot of guys they can trade and a lot of recently paid contracts they can afford to give away.
I’m not hating, I’m pointing out it’s like when a team with multiple 1sts “wins the draft”
Pretty sound reasoning. In their process they traded four expiring deals, extended their best rookie deal player, and dangled their most valuable asset for a ~1st. When teams didn’t meet it, they decided to leave it for their next GM.
Not tanking, building for the future.
Sources: The #Colts had multiple offers of a 2nd-round pick and more for RB Jonathan Taylor over the last week.
But the organization decided that if it ever trades him, it will be in the offseason, when more buyers could be available and a permanent GM is in place.
Per #Colts HC Shane Steichen, WR Anthony Gould will start in the slot in the wake of Josh Downs' trade.
Deion Burks, Ashton Dulin, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will also absorb what Keenan Allen was doing.
@JoshFromIndy@willo1904@Schultz975 Feels far more unlikely to me that someone offered a deal significantly higher than comparable recent deals. If you’re jumping out of your seat to accept a deal it probably wasn’t the one offered.
Most of the Dems who missed the vote were here, Republicans just gavelled before they got in there (which is their prerogative when time has expired). But their arrival would not have changed the outcome of the vote since all Republicans except Massie voted in lockstep.
@legreebrynn2 CMC was also coming off 10 games combined over the previous 2 seasons.
They had their price, your team wasn’t committed enough to meet it. Have fun in the wild card.
Colts' trade deadline process was pretty solid. Actively shopped players on expiring deals that the next GM wouldn't be able to keep anyway.
Any player under contract could be had for a very high price, but if the price is not met, we'd rather let the next GM decide on them
