Just in: The #Eagles-#Bengals trade that was supposed to send DE Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati is not happening, per @Schultz_Report.
Had the trade gone through, there was a formula where the Bengals could’ve lost a compensatory 3rd-round pick for losing Trey Hendrickson in free agency. It's complicated, but the trade is off.
@COLTSCLUB18 The point stands regardless of the team’s reasoning. Clearly they value the extra cap space in 2027 over anything else they could have done with him. Any speculation as to why that might be or how they view 2028 is beyond the scope of the original post.
The Colts save $11.6M in 2027 by trading Daniel Jones today. They save $38M in 2027 by cutting him in March with a post-June 1st designation. That difference is simply not worth a 6th or 7th round pick.
The Colts informed QB Daniel Jones on Saturday they’re not trading him by Tuesday’s deadline, sources tell @ringer@netflixsports.
Teams called and the Colts listened. But they never had any intention of moving him. Despite speculation, Jones is staying in Indy.
@ColtscapKyle Seems like they’re set on maximizing 2027 resources, and there’s a good chance they’ll roll a decent portion of cap over into 2028. Now with rumors of an increasingly likely quiet trade deadline, it looks a lot like a team trying to preserve flexibility for the offseason.
Going to be a very uncomfortable next couple of weeks for Colts fans. Going to be a very forgettable next couple of years. This is the way. Trust the process.
It’s with a heavy heart that I’m sharing the Ditka family has announced the passing of Mike Ditka this morning.
Da Coach. Hall of Famer. The heartbeat of the ’85 Bears and a Super Bowl champion. Chicago won’t be the same.
Prayers to Diana and the family.
RIP, Coach. 🐻⬇️
Here’s a statement from the family:
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka. While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family. Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever.
With love and gratitude, The Ditka Family
The Colts started the ghost of Xavien Howard Week 1 last year and now we have Sauce Gardner, Mooney Ward, Kenny Moore, Cam Taylor-Britt, Justin Walley, Mekhi Blackmon, and Jaylon Jones currently on the roster lmao
