Ramblings of the Colts variety.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB Oh yeah if a team is being logical, I’ve no doubt most would be a hard no. I just know there’s always the chance for someone to do something silly XD My guess is tho they’d have to come off the asking price for something like CMC or similar enough like you mentioned if at all.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

Look the cardinals got a 2nd rounder for Marv jr lmao. I know difference in positional value but in terms of actual production in the league… the Colts aren’t crazy starting the bargaining price at a 1st for JT and some others, It’s what they should always do.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB My point being if a player with no try production in the league just netted a 2nd, attempting to fleece a team out of a 1st on a contender or desperate team who JT could put over the top isn’t an illogical attempt. See our sauce Gardner trade from last year.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB I’m not saying there WILL be. I’m simply saying it isn’t wrong for the colts for trying to attempt to make it happen in case there is. The colts are also likely aware of that, but assuming that without trying isn’t good operating by them is my point.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB My point is teams will still overpay all the time on players relative to their actual worth if they’re desperate enough. All teams act in accordance with trying to play on that, the colts are no different. The nature of who gave up what and why isn’t really my point.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB Of course, but you aren’t always dealing with sensibility. See Houston giving a 2nd for Marv Jr or most of our trades under Ballard XD. Always have to be looking at taking advantage of desperation. It also doesn’t mean they won’t come off the initial ask either.

[Zain Dhanani @DhananiZain]

As stated a few days ago in my previous post - Jonathan Taylor, Quentin Nelson, and DeForest Buckner are names being discussed as potential trade candidates

Team hasn’t decided which direction they want to go yet

[A to Z Sports @AtoZSportsNFL]

The Packers are exploring a potential trade for three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner as injuries thin their defensive line. His contract situation could create an opportunity, but Green Bay’s salary cap concerns complicate the move. https://t.co/LI4HPg4ogK

“Staying focused.”

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Multiple teams would be open to a potential trade for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, a source told ESPN’s @HolderStephen, but it remains unclear whether the Colts are ready to unload players before the trade deadline.

“It remains unclear whether the Colts are ready to be sellers before the trade deadline.”

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

IF and I do mean IF they can get 1st round “equivalent” comp. Picks + players etc it needs to be thoroughly examined depending on the value.

[Stephen Holder @HolderStephen]

NEW: It’s still unclear how the Colts will navigate the upcoming NFL trade deadline after dismissing GM Chris Ballard. But RB Jonathan Taylor, who is under contract through 2028, is already drawing interest. Details: https://t.co/TirTmspHIi

[Easton Butler @Easton__Butler]

The Packers have called the Colts about DTs Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner, per source. The asking price for Bucker is a 2nd/3rd, while Stewart is a 4th.

[Tyler Brooke @TylerDBrooke]

The #Packers have made trade calls inquiring about #Colts DT DeForest Buckner, per multiple sources.

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

Sure feels like Colts players are aware of what's about to happen.

[NFL on ESPN @ESPNNFL]

What's next for the Colts? Could more moves be coming? 🐎
Could the Rams trade for a WR at the trade deadline? 🐏
