Irsay's latest tweet (Saturday 3/16)

[Coltswarriors]

I honestly can't believe people wouldn't give up a 1st round pick for Cruz. He's 26 years old and he's a HUGE play maker.

 

You think we could get something better than him with the 24th pick? I don't think so.

[Andy]

It could be anyone in the league.

 

Not necessarily from Zona.

[A Lot A Luck]

Floyd just got released recently... so it wouldn't be a trade for him. Plus Jim says it has been in the works for 5 days.

[bavanlan]

We must keep our 1st round

 

The only way you're doing that is if we make an offer to Cruz the Giants match.

[TKnight24]

Cruz for a 1st rounder meaning we don't play ball in the draft until the 3rd...... idk about that one guys

[Dustin]

Floyd just got released recently... so it wouldn't be a trade for him. Plus Jim says it has been in the works for 5 days.

 

Michael Floyd? He didn't get released.

[Bleeds Blue]

I'd take RG3's Baylor buddy over Britt. Dez Bryant over Austin (Dez could change his attitude & behavior up here in Indy). And no way is Peyton letting Decker go lol

 

not saying they are who i would want, just who may be available.  Cowboys arent trading Dez.  Decker could be expendable since they picked up welker.

 

i still think its cruz as I guessed first. ;)

[TKnight24]

No no no, we're talking about Floyd. The rookie last year from Notre Dame

[PrincetonTiger]

thats why it could not be VC since he is RFA

[SilentHill]

If the Colts trade for Cruz, they are saying hey, we are here to win now, screw this rebuilding stuff.

[arkana04]

Victor Cruz is likely to be better than any receiver we can get with pick 24

[bavanlan]

I don't understand Floyd...

 

They just released Doucet, and they really have no no.2 Plus I doubt they would give up on him a year after they drafted him in the first round.

 

If it is with the Cardinals (which seems to be in doubt) it's conceivable that Arians wants some of our burners since he doesn't have any.  Maybe we're sending out TY and/or Brazill.

[The Sack Pack]

Dang, We have no room for a contract like that though... Who's going to be the cap casualty?

[TKnight24]

not saying they are who i would want, just who may be available. Cowboys arent trading Dez. Decker could be expendable since they picked up welker.

Yeah, I know Dez isn't coming. Jerry Jones wouldn't even trade us Mike Jenkins & he didn't even wanna be on the team!!!!

[Carlos Danger]

I really wouldn't understand the logic of trading for a WR or giving up a first for Cruz... I think its a team need, but why not just draft a WR? He might not (won't) be as good as Cruz, but he would be a whole heckuvalot cheaper...

[dw49]

How about Sanders from Pitt ? That might make sense.

[A Lot A Luck]

Michael Floyd? He didn't get released.

Sorry... thinking Brandon Floyd

[PrincetonTiger]

If it is with the Cardinals (which seems to be in doubt) it's conceivable that Arians wants some of our burners since he doesn't have any.  Maybe we're sending out TY and/or Brazill.

please no

[GoColts8818]

The only way you're doing that is if we make an offer to Cruz the Giants match.

What's the Giants cap space?  It could be the Colts will try to load up a contract the Giants can't match although from what I saw on twitter yesterday we are getting close to being up against it with the cap ourselves and we might not be able to do that. 

 

We've avoided big names to this point for the most part I would think we do it again.  I think it could very well be a WR it's probably just not a guy like Cruz although I could very well be wrong.

[TKnight24]

Victor Cruz is likely to be better than any receiver we can get with pick 24

Still, that pick could go to a Pass rusher or offensive lineman. I'm iffy on this

[bavanlan]

thats why it could not be VC since he is RFA

 

You can trade an RFA.  The Pats did that when they got Welker.

[PrincetonTiger]

How about Sanders from Pitt ? That might make sense.

he was a FA and signed with NE( I think)

[TKnight24]

How about Sanders from Pitt ? That might make sense.

He's a FA isn't he? He just visited NE today

[B-B]

Dan Graham ‏@coltsinsider

#Colts will have to make a cut to get under the cap again before signing any draft picks if this happens. I am hearing Jim wants sexy ..more

 

 

Dan Graham ‏@coltsinsider

#Colts By sexy I mean, he wants another player to market, who has impact. On offense. #ThisISFromAgent can't say who.

If I'm not mistaken, the Giants have very little cap space. I doubt they could match the offer.

[haseo15]

Please no no no to Cruz. If we give up our 1st rounder I see this being a horrible draft with having so few picks.

[Andy]

If it is with the Cardinals (which seems to be in doubt) it's conceivable that Arians wants some of our burners since he doesn't have any.  Maybe we're sending out TY and/or Brazill.

 

I would find it very hard to believe that the Colts could be shopping TY.

[PrincetonTiger]

Still, that pick could go to a Pass rusher or offensive lineman. I'm iffy on this

agreed

[GoColts8818]

he was a FA and signed with NE( I think)

I saw he was visiting New England and the Pats have been kicking his tires but the last I saw this morning (got lost in basketball this afternoon and tonight) no offer from New England had been made but that could have changed. 

[Derakynn]

Not my call, but I don't know if I would like us trading more picks away. Just seems like this draft would be totally lame with 3 picks. 

Better be someone good, but of course I don't think Irsay would steer us wrong. 

[weslo1812]

I need to get a job with our organization. Maybe be Grigson's personal apple juice boy or something. Just anything to get in the loop & know what's going on instead of sitting here out the loop growing grey hair before I even hit 21 smh

That would really be nice at times like this!! Its got me spinning!

[Gavin]

Maybe we are trading a big name to move up in the draft

[Rebelknight]

What about Trent Edwards for a 6th...

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Cruz for a 1st rounder meaning we don't play ball in the draft until the 3rd...... idk about that one guys

We'd most likely get a WR in the first round anyway and Cruz is most likely better than any WR that would be there anyway (Hunter or Hopkins)

[bavanlan]

What's the Giants cap space?  

 

Among the worst in the league.

[staggerknight]

I'm behind I guess...whats the whole Apple juice thing about lol

[SilentHill]

Very doubtful we give up a 1st round pick for a RFA...

 

 

Also, cant a mod open the chat room? This is crazy.

[CR91]

even if we tried to get cruz the giants can still match any offer we give him

[Bleeds Blue]

Could NY sign Cruz and turn around and trade him right away?

[Gramz]

If the Colts trade for Cruz, they are saying hey, we are here to win now, screw this rebuilding stuff.

 

I'm all for some salsa dancing...  could it be....????
