Shocked

 

[Coltsman1788]

Don't know why anyone would be surprised or shaking heads.  He hasn't done much while here.  For a first round draft pick, Dorsett was very disappointing.  Colts will probably get no more than a low draft pick for him.  If it happens then good riddance...we have plenty of other receiver options here to replace what little Dorsett gave us.

[MTC]

I'd rather not trade him as the WR depth is quite thin.

[Indyfan4life]

I guarantee if we trade him he'll end up somewhere being used properly. You know. To his strengths. 

[Smitto]

This is good, Dorsett needs a fire lit under him. 

[Yoshinator]

Would be happy with a 4th rounder at this point for him. With Luck and Kelly out for a bit, it makes it even less likely he'll improve in the regular season this year.

[will426]

I hope he shows out but even if he does ST wouldn't be able to throw him the ball with the accuracy he has lol..

That is the sad part

I'm not sure he has the arm strength to go deep to Dorsett consistently either, though he had a good game vs the Steelers with Dorsett. With Kelly out, it will cause him to have less time to throw though.

[IndyScribe]

This is just a rumor. Take it with a grain of salt.

[Iron Colt]

He would be dangerous in Dallas with that offense. They are pretty loaded on offense though. Defense getting better too. Actually, that team could be scary good soon.

[IinD]

Why would anyone trade anything valuable for him? Not like he's lit it up 

 

Just keep him and get him out of here after this year. I'd be shocked if we got anything valuable for him, but if someone is willing to offer something decent then get him out of town.

[Yoshinator]

If he does get traded, I'd personally like it to be to the Jets. They have no receiving core, and they are probably the favorites to get the 1st overall pick this year, so anything we get as a pick should be a big help (even a 4th could be a late 3rd basically).

[Carlos Danger]

Interesting...

Maybe I'm overly optimistic about anybody wearing the horseshoe, but I've thought to myself (whenever someone brings up trading Dorsett, which is fairly often on the forum) that it doesn't seem to make sense.

I generally thought that his potential value as a reciever, coupled with a cheap rookie contract would keep him here, at least through this season. Of course, that depends on what the offer is... I think a 3rd round pick is probably where I'd put his value, but I'm sure that the rest of the league thinks it's less and he will probably be shipped for a 5th and conditional 7th. 

There might be some interesting player for player deals that will be discussed... Tennessee would probably be a good trade partner if they weren't in our division.

See Trent Richardson trade deal... lol.  Gotta be a sucker somewhere out there

Tennessee just drafted Corey Davis 5th overall this year, they don't need Dorsett. They also have Rishard Mathews coming off a decent year and Delanie Walker as well as Eric Decker who is looking great right now. WR is surprisingly low on their list of needs.

Maybe Natson is impressing them a lot? He did look pretty good at WR last week.

Agreed.

 

I'm just thinking if it's for one of those useless 7th rd type picks then don't even bother.

Agreed see Natson and others outplaying him

[Everyone]

Gonna trade him for Zuttah lol

Yeah... absolutely not.  He is definitely worth more than that.  Like you say don't bother.

[Architects08]

Good riddance!

[GoColts8818]

I am sure he has been but he still has zero trade value

Any GM that gives us a 4th rounder for him will be in the same boat Grigson was in this offseason. I'm guessing we would be lucky to get a 6th rounder for him at best.

With injuries in training camp and preseason, I think it's a possibility. You can't always just believe the obvious solution is the correct solution. Nothing gets accomplished that way.

Plus anything lower than a 4th round pick I wouldn't trade him yet this year either since he is signed for cheap through the 2018 season.

[ColtsAC]

Dorset to Buffalo for Ragland. Makes sense...might have to add filler from Colt's end. Bills say Ragland not a 4-3 fit.

[UKColt13]

Unsurprising. I we can get a 4th or even a 5th for him I'd take it and run.

 

We have better depth players. 

[PrincetonTiger]

The trade rumor could mean he is on the fringe of the roster

Agree with this 100% and why I'm hoping we don't sell low.

[NannyMcafee]

Who would have thought Dorsett would see the door before Green?....
