    I'm no expert, but maybe figure out a way to block Garrett. 

    Terrible job of blocking Garrett. Everyone knows he's an elite player, but come on... Not only did he singlehandedly destroy our passing game, he was also constantly stuffing the inside running game.

    Well the last guy with the name Speed worked out.  Why not.

    I also think back several years, to the signing of Kenny Moore, who Ballard similarly scoffed up, when  Belichick tried to slip him through on waivers

    Didn’t see the signing.  Was it to the active roster or practice squad?  It really doesn’t matter I guess.  Neither one scares any defenses.  I don’t know if Ballard has a deal in place either.  But our backup wide receivers appear to be a revolving door.

    Active roster I believe.

    Funny thing is that the player we cut, Amari Rodgers, was the receiver who went in for Pierce last week when he got hurt.  And he was called up from the practice squad before the game.  Anyone else think Ballard might be trying to acquire a WR before the deadline?  Heck maybe he already has a deal in place.  

    We did just sign Juwann Winfree again yesterday, who I think (at this point) is the replacement for Rogers. Also points to Pierce not being too seriously injured. So, I would say, I'm not convinced Ballard has some eminent deal in place.

    Colts claim Ameer Speed off waivers

     

    I saw where NE had cut this guy, trying to sneak him through on waivers, and now the Colts have signed him.

     

    ...They waived wide receiver Amari Rodgers in a corresponding move.

    New England drafted Speed in the sixth round out of Michigan State this spring, and he is the first rookie in the team’s Class of 2023 to be cut. The Patriots could have re-signed Speed to the practice squad if he had cleared waivers.

    In five games, Speed has played 10 defensive snaps and 73 on special teams. He has two tackles on defense and one on special teams.

    What's the purpose to post a "report" from 7 days ago?  Doesn't even look like they were named "most likely to land" spots(just Browns guys speculating). Tweet tag says "Best Fits" Tweet didn't mention any of those teams that they stated.

     

    Here is the tweet they referenced for their "report":

    Here is the link to the article in the tweet.

    https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/afc-west/jerry-jeudy-trade-rumors-landing-spots/

     

     

    Only team mentioned in the article of the 3 mentioned by them in their video was the Panthers.

     

     

    Sorry, just saw no need to post something from a week ago in the first place, then when I looked into it, it just seemed even more obsolete.

    My reason for posting it is, everyone is assuming the Colts are the team who will get Jeudy. But apparently there is interest elsewhere. even though its a week old, does not mean that other teams are no longer in the hunt.

     

    I saw the video and posted it. Did not feel the need to dive deeply into it and research how valid the claim is. Just take it for what it is, another rumor.

    In that clip shown earlier, it looked like Watson had some apparatus up on his throwing shoulder, and a sleeve all down his arm.

    After he threw the ball, he reached as to adjust the shoulder brace, as if it were uncomfortable. 

    If I had to guess... Watson does not play.

    So if both of these reports are right no way am I giving up a second rounder for a guy they called you to unload.

    Right now, there is still some hope for us salvaging a decent record. But, we also could regress, and end up with a position in top 10 picking order.  Our 2nd round would be a very valuable pick. Seems absurd to offer that for Jeudy, who has thus far underachieved.

    What are the Denver Broncos asking for Jerry Jeudy?

     

    Multiple reports suggest that the Denver Broncos are seeking at least a second-round pick in exchange for Jerry Jeudy. The Colts are reportedly open to this proposal, but both sides will need to engage in negotiations to ensure the best possible terms for this deal.

     

    While the Broncos used their 2020 15th overall pick to draft Jerry Jeudy, they understand that they won’t receive a first-round selection in return. Nevertheless, because Jeudy is still regarded as a top-tier receiver by many executives, the request for a second-round pick does seem reasonable.

    Ballard, Shane, and Irsay want him.  They see more than the doubters do.  That’s all that matters.

     

     

     

    True. If they want him, then they will get him. What anyone else thinks makes no difference.

    But in reality, all that matters, is the success of the team... When all is said and done, does Jeudy end up making us better? or not?

  12. Just now, richard pallo said:

    Jeudy was the 15th overall selection in the 2020 draft.  That’s a WR 1 slot.  Let’s hope a change of scenery is all he needs to get going.  Hoping that’s the case for him and a move to the Colts is all he needs.

    I get it. But since the rumor of "Jeudy to Colts" emerged, I have looked into his play. Honestly, I am not impressed. 

    Superman did a good breakdown of his doubts a few post up.

     

    His biggest plus, coming out of college, was his great route running, but this has not shown very much on the field so far. He has been criticized for not giving 100% and taking plays off. Of course I cannot say that's the case, but it has been reported. He does not appear to get separation, which is probably the biggest problem with our current group of WRs. 

     

    Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he has had bad QBs in Denver, which had to slow his progress. 

    But here we have Gardner Minshew, who, imo, is not much of a step up, and AR5, who even next year, will have a great lack of NFL experience, and will be coming back from injury. 

     

    This thread has a lot of opinions. Some want Jeudy. Others do not. I am in the latter group.

    There is a tweet from a Colts source, "that things are heating up", so I would not be surprised if we do indeed land Jeudy.

    I would think it stupid to give them a 4th or even a 5th.

    I have no idea of our cap situation, but we just paid Taylor big money, and 13 mil for Jeudy seems way too high.

    If I know anything about Irsay it’s that decisions are not made in a vacuum.  He always talks about the “brain trust” which is normally Irsay, the GM, and Head Coach.  I think Irsay let’s the GM and HC make the final decisions but Irsay is involved.

    Agree. But understand, Ballard has a whole team of scouts, that he would seek input from. Maybe more so than the coaching staff.

    None of us really know the goings on. We can only speculate. but I have a strong opinion. CB is by far the one calling the shots here.

    Neither? Both?? Just tag Pittman???

     

    I have no strong opinion on this either way. I was hopeful that we'd get a better evaluation of Pittman this season. At this point, we can probably count on a similar season to 2022 from him. 

     

    I guess I'd rather have Pittman on a long term deal, because I know he can be a reliable #2 who will do the dirty work, won't complain, he's tough and physical, doesn't really miss games, etc. If you want an exemplary team guy, MPJ is a good standard. I definitely don't feel that way about Jeudy. And my goal would still be to draft a potential #1.

    I agree. I would not feel the combination of Pittman as #1 and Jeudy as #2 (or vice versa) would be our long term answer.

    Need to draft a true number one. This group of college WRs looks very solid.
