Doug Baldwin is possibly referenced wr... per roto

[Indeee]

If its Doug Baldwin Im seriously gonna have to question what Indy is doing. Doug Baldwin is horrible.. this is not earth shattering, or anything close

[Dark Superman]

Irsay has a knack for hyping fans up for nothing..

[Dark Superman]

If he gives up our first round pick for Baldwin I'll flip.

[Indeee]

it wont be, it will be our fifth.. seems seattle wants a higher and thats holdup.. seems baldwin has history with luck n pep

[austriancolt]

why can't they just draft a receiver? I wouldn't give up anything for a guy like baldwin. But he would fit some of the other free agent signings that were a bit head scratching...

Well...   congratulations!   You're wrong twice!

 

First,  Baldwin is not terrible.   And that's not a Stanford view.   That's a football view.

 

Second,  it's not going to our 5thR draft pick....    because we don't have a 5thR draft pick.    At least, not yet we don't.

 

And to the poster who worried Baldwin for our #1....   please....   Baldwin would be had for a mid, or possibly even late draft pick, not a #1.

 

If it is Baldwin, the biggest problem the Colt's would have is how stupid Irsay would look for making such a fuss over a mid-level player.   

 

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy....    

[GoodLuck]

If it's Baldwin, Irsay needs to be banned from twitter.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I'd be so mad if its Baldwin. I don't think he'd use terms like big whopper or say its a big trade. Plus I heard that its someone who would bring marketing value.

I'd rather have any of the top 4 wr's in the draft than baldwin (Patterson, hunter, Hopkins, and Allen)

[NewColtsFan]

Baldwin is a nice little receiver.    Nothing more.    I'd offer Seattle our #6 this year.    If they wanted more, I'd add our #6 next year.

 

BUT THAT'S IT!     He's not worth more than that,  and I'm a Stanford guy.

 

I simply don't believe all this fuss is over Baldwin.

 

IndyStar's Mike Chappell seems to believe it's over Cruz.    That's the name that makes the most sense.    So, until proven otherwise,   my radar is set on Cruz watch.

No way,That's hardly worth talking about.

Not even Irsay would make a big deal over trading for Baldwin. Besides that , spending 5 days on a minor deal like that would be ridiculous. Things like "big fish and "lots of moving parts" would make this pretty much out of the question.

[James]

Baldwin for a 5th or 6th would be nice. He can play on the outside and knows Pep's offense. He had some upside, and imo he'd be a upgrade over Avery in our WC offense. Then we could go G or OLB in the first.

Even Baldwin doesn't think trading for him warrants that kind of buzz.

[PrincetonTiger]

interesting

[Fx Stryker]

Let's just bring in more Stanford guys. The more the merrier.

We are assuming Irsay was coherent when he made those tweets.  It could be Baldwin.

Ramses Barden should be the big fish....Cruz is a little fish...size wise....lets bring in 6'7" and 230.....that is my big fish!      Just a little Wicki for ya...

A trade for Baldwin makes ZERO sense. We have 4 guys on the roster that are just like Baldwin and probably just as good if not better. Not to mention the fact that Irsay would look like a complete baffoon if it turned out to be him. Another thing is, that there is no way on earth that it would take this long to figure out the details of this trade. This is not the type of trade that would take more than an hr. or 2 to complete.

Heck to the NO for this old Colt fan!  I am with ya Balzer!

[deedub75]

Well, we've overpaid for players in free agency so far so trading a high pick for Baldwin wouldn't surprise me at all.

Freeney was overpaid too....just sayin....28 mill over the last two years....brutally overpaid....

 

I still need to see how the contracts were set up before I will say overpaid...some look better after analysis....Walden's for one.

 

Cherilus looked high with up front...I hope we make good decisions from here on out....

Bring the band back together 

 

Maybe we could get Richard Sherman?

[SLILLINGTON10]

what is the whole walter reference then?

[21isSuperman]

When I first read this, I thought it meant Jon Baldwin.  I got super excited

Somebody with some sense!! A Baldwin deal could be figured out in about an hour not 6 days
