Irsay Grigs will be Wheeling & dealling

[Everyone]

Jim Irsay ‏@JimIrsay 6m

We're all hurting for Vick BaL..Bradshaw,Brown and others must step up...Grig's gonna work hard to wheel n deal B4 trade deadline,let's roll

 

I imagine they would wait a couple weeks to see how B-shaw, Brown and Williams do before pulling the trigger on another RB, unless they are trading for a different position.

Just saw this on twitter.  I don't know why he would announce Grigson's actions to the world like that, but okay sure.

he didn't.

[BronxColtNYC]

I wouldnt read too much into it.

[unitaswestand]

Not to take anything away from Ballard who is a good young RB, but I think Bradshaw and Brown can do just fine.  Bradshaw his a similar RB to Ballard.  And Brown is completely different.  Throw in Williams.  Maybe sign Delone Carter if needed.  But these guys are better than someone they can trade with.

[methodicaleddie]

he didn't.

 

wut

[1959Colts]

Perhaps Grigson could be wheeling and dealing for positions other than RB too.

[jvan1973]

wut

did he give any details about anything, anything at all?

[Superman]

Cue meltdown...

[House]

Whenever Irsay states the obvious, or says what fans hope is going on behind closed doors.

People freak out.

This phenomenon blows my mind.

[methodicaleddie]

He said that he was looking to trade now.  There's no point in saying it on twitter just like there's no point in us going back and forth about this.  Don't see why he wouldn't just keep his mouth shut and go about his business by letting Grigs do his thing.  There isn't a need for stating the obvious.

[HtownColt]

Believe it when I see it, teams rarely make in season trades

[NCost12]

Grigs loves them eagles if a trade were to happen.. Bryce Brown?

[Everyone]

It could mean with Ballard lost for the season, they are going to clean house and start fresh next year

[GoColtsGo5150]

I hope so... Brown actually has measurables similar to 1 Adrian Peterson

because it's his team and he can do whatever he wants

[Coltswarriors]

Oh boy.

 

Round 2.

 

Or is this 3? This is 3, right?

Don't you think other teams become aware that we want to trade when Grigs "does his thing?"

Who is he ruining this news for? And maybe he's not stating the obvious for everyone, but if he is for you. Guess what? Don't read it lol.

[BigQandTheManiac]

they should just get someone from free agency they shouldn't trade away any more draft picks..IF that's what they are planning

Does it matter though?

 

I mean think about it, is a team going to be like "Oh no!! I don't want to trade with the Colts now because Irsay put on twitter Grigson wants to trade!!!" No. It doesn't hurt anything by putting it on twitter.

 

He's just keeping the fans up to date and driving us all crazy speculating at the same time.

Does any other owner do this?  I don't follow them on twitter, but do they say what their next move is?  I see this as the same as when Irsay told us about getting a "big time receiver".  Why?  Stop making us look desperate and just let Grigs do his thing without any added pressure of getting a deal done.

[jamesie jr]

I would want one of: Joseph Addai, Kerwyn Williams, Beanie Wells, Willis Mcgahee, Cedric Benson.

[LuckToReggie]

Addai? How bout no lol.

We just lost a RB. We are desperate. What other GM doesn't know that when we start shopping trades? Or what does it effect period for looking at FA's?

Do you know if you don't go to Irsay's twitter you can't read his tweets? How many GMs do you think are sitting around waiting to pounce on Jim tweeting? They don't care. Only angry fans care.

Some fans think it is their right solely to get to say whatever they want whenever they want, but not the owner. Lord no. Because he might tweet something everyone knows anyways, and that will cause mass destruction to the franchise. Because its a proven statistic that tweets=losses.

[MakeItWayne]

Adrian Peterson

[Coltsince4]

Adrian Peterson

Heeeeee Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee...............

[jvan1973]

we already have Williams .... every other one you mentioned, NO

[chad72]

Maybe we get Knowshon Moreno or Ronnie Hillman. ;)

[That Guy]

Stepfan Taylor?

[pgt_rob]

We are cursed at RB for sure. Bradshaw and Brown will handle RB position and they will get injured too, only a matter of time sadly. And no, I'm not very optimistic.

No kidding, i couldn't tell

[chad72]

Stepfan Taylor?

 

If I am guessing, it will be a power back. We have 1 back with a little muscle in Bradshaw, and 2 shifty guys in Brown & Williams. We will go for a power back like Beanie Wells first, IMO.

 

The other one I can think of is Anthony Dixon of 49ers.

[SLILLINGTON10]

I would like to see Ben Tate brought in, if possible. I think he could start at RB for a lot of teams. I know this pretty close to impossible.

Houston has no interest in trading him

I doubt we will get anyone that is #2 on the depth chart, a #3 like Anthony Dixon from the 49ers is a better possibility, IMO since he is behind Gore and Kendall Hunter and possibly LaMichael James too.

[Dustin]

Mike Tolbert.

[jvan1973]

Is Mike Hart available?

[chad72]

Is Mike Hart available?

 

You should ask Rayted32, is that guy still around?

[Superman]

I don't think we told him where the new forum is...

Oh good, we have people sitting in on meetings with Houston's GM?  Awesome!
