That's a bummer.  He had a really strong preseason, as far as we saw.  Maybe there was something in camp that wasn't impressing the coaches.

 

I'm predicting a lot of people will be unhappy with this trade

[YOUR GM]

[IrishColt22]

better be better than a 5th thats all i got to say 

[manning04]

This SUCKS! was really looking foward to him adding depth to our LB corp

[jvan1973]

or what? lol

[NewEra]

Wth?!?! Hope this isn't true. Or is it cause we just traded for cam Johnson? I don't know what the heck is going on with the decisions here lately.

[haseo15]

Lol it's probably a 6th or 7th fond pick, it's not like he has years of production. Just a preseason so far.

[newb767]

Inb4 board explodes

They basically did a whole bunch of nothing. They traded for one raw pass rushing specialist and potentially lost a meaningless pick, then traded another raw pass rushing specialist for a meaningless pick.....Whatever. I give up trying to understand.lol

[ell_chrisso]

I'm going to guess a 6th

[Albaby]

I wonder if they are trying to get the draft pick back that they spent for the SF OLB the other day (his name escapes me at the moment)?

[Nesjan3]

lol it will be a 6th rounder at best, that I can almost guarantee, quote me if im wrong

[Dan]

Apparently it's a conditional 2015 pick. 

[Psyren]

Ryan Grigson is trigger happy on trades.

I think he wakes up everyday thinking 'Who can I trade/Trade for today'?

After years of no moves from Polian, Grigson can almost frustrate you by never stopping.

They say Bo knows...Grigs knows

Cam Johnson reminds me of Caesar Rayford..

I don't think it's a huge deal.  He isn't trading away the franchise.  He is just working to add pieces where he can to make the team better.  Rayford did have a good preseason, but he doesn't have a history of strong NFL production.

Go back to the Mathis one!

[IndyD4U]

Meh, he showed potential, but let's face it. He would have never played.

[TKnight24]

Man, I'm no longer getting attached to these young guys. Here today, gone tomorrow.

Smh, just terrible

[indy1888]

I liked Rayford , but outside of pass rushing he was very awkward looking out there. Really bad in space.  Most of his sacks came against backups or guys who were cut as well.  I would have liked to have seen him get some time against starters but it never happened.

[NewEra]

Agreed, but what has cam Johnson proved? Seems like a lateral move

[Albaby]

Cam Johnson

That's him!  It's almost like we traded Rayford for Johnson.  I hope Johnson was worth it!

[TKnight24]

@KBowenColts: The @Colts have traded LB-Caesar Rayford to the Cowboys for a conditional draft pick. Gives room/reps for new LB-Cam Johnson off the edge

[Dustin]

Go back to the Mathis one!

 

Done!

[Balzer40]

If we traded Rayford for a pick, then that means there's a spot open on the 53 man roster.

[jvan1973]

Done!

i guarantee he won't be traded this year

[haseo15]

On the bright side Grigson turned an UDFA into a draft pick.

[Psyren]

I don't think it's a huge deal either, our roster is just a circus, that's all.

I'm glad we probably made up for the pick we lost trading for Cam, it just seems like the dust never settles

[Balzer40]

I can't believe there are people actually griping about Grigson tweaking the roster. Good God, for yrs. I wished Polian would open his eyes and work on improving the roster.

[Colts_Fan12]

If there is a spot open now move Rogers into the 53 I can hope can't I

damned if you do; damned if you don't

 

Some people are never happy

[HtownColt]

7th is all it's going to be, cam is better 3-4 player, Rayford is a pure 4-3 might as well get some value for him. That's value you didn't even intend on having from Rayford when camp started

Duh of course because he wasnt going to start we already had an idea who was gonna start....we didnt make alot of theses moves in free agency just for someone to be benched with the 3rd string team

[21isSuperman]

Done!

[jvan1973]

yeah, that won't happen for awhile. He just got the playbook
