Reggie is one of my favorite Colts, but he is older and is coming back from a major knee injury, most of his value is because he is loved here.

Even without Reggie the odds are the Colts will be picking late in each round of the draft, our division isnt very good so we are pretty much guaranteed a playoff appearance.

So you have a receiver who is older and is diminishing in his physical skills, Reggie uses his brain and experience to make up for the step or 2 he has lost over the years. Then you have 2 late second round picks that are closer to 3rds.

Nobody is gonna trade anything for any of that, certainly not a top 10 or even top 20 1st rounder.

This isnt like Peyton, nobody is going to gamble on an aging receiver coming off an injury, they aren't as rare as franchise quarterbacks.

1st and 2nd round picks have a lot more value to a team who is rebuilding then an aging receiver, Reggie needs to remain a Colt because he is more valuable here to the fan base and helping with the young receivers then any pick we could get for him.

NFL trade value chart

http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/Value-Chart.php

 

Nobody is giving up a top 10 pick for an aging WR (coming off of knee surgery) and 2 number 2 picks in separate years.     The trade is ridiculous. 

 

The BEST Indy could do would be to trade up into the 28 - 40 range.  Anything after that would be silly to move up 10 - 15 spots and give up another good pick.    And I am ready to stop giving up all these draft picks.     Just draft.   BUT, I can totally see Grigs doing this on draft day if HIS guy is there????

Buyer beware...    He is a good player but NOT close to a top 10 type WR.      OSU made him look WAY better than he really is.  The Bucks best CB did not play in that game.

 

OSU had the absolute WORST secondary I have EVER seen in major college football even with Roby, Except maybe IU on any given year..

 

JMO

 

Florida State and South Carolina shut him down,   

I would live to have Sammy Watkins but don't wanna lose Reggie. These trades are all unrealistic anyway.

Reggie is a Colt for life.

 

I would question my continuing support of the Colts organization if he was released and I mean that. I don't remember another player in this franchise's history--not Peyton, Marvin, Dwight, Edge, Bob, etc.--that is more beloved and respected than 87. Releasing the other aforementioned players "made sense", for lack of a better term. Whether it was a financial or performance-related decision, it had to be done and we as fans accepted it. There is no scenario within any rational reason in which I could accept Reggie moving on.

 

I just can't come up with a conclusion that would ever make releasing Reggie a sensible act--I don't care if the guy can no longer run faster than McGlynn or catch better than DHB--he retires a career Colt. Anyone else that was at the Denver game will remember when he went down and what the crowd did next: a collective, booming "REGGIE, REGGIE" roar. I was standing directly in front of his mom and dad and the look on their faces was magical. On that note, his parents are awesome and are genuinely kind people. This may sound sappy and lame but that was the most emotional moment I've ever experienced as a Colts fan--above the Marlin interception, above being at the KC game (same seats, BTW). Reggie transcends the standard business decisions made in the NFL. 

 

Reggie retires as a Colt. End of story.

I'd rather sign Nix for cheap. Work Reggie in as a slot wr and draft a LT in the 2nd rnd

I'm still in awe that people think we need a new LT.

Costanzo isnt bad, but there are some potential studs that could be there in the 2nd rnd.

I'd also look into trading Costanzo for a 3 or 4.

I know I can do Grigson's job Irsay should give me a shot. We would still have a 1 if I was running things

There's no one past the top 20 picks that is better than AC.  Castonzo is not a tradable commodity.  We would never get close to the value he was actually worth to our team.  And there isn't a single person on this forum that could do a better job than Grigson, especially someone that wants to trade away our franchise LT.

Franchise LTs are a tradeable commodity in the NFL. Now either he's not a franchise LT, or he does have value. Either way, time to move on imo.

Too many LTs to all go 1. They'll be some in thw 2nd round

I think you are missing the point.  AC is worth way more to us than he would be to another team.  He's worth way more than a 3rd round pick to us, and I doubt any other team in the NFL would trade a 3rd for him with 1 year left on his contract.  There is no one, I repeat NO ONE, that is a better tackle prospect than AC, that will be available after the top 20 picks.  Especially all the way at our pick in the second.

Have you ever previously been employed by the Browns?

Peyton Manning, Emmit Smith, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, etc....and I can go on and on for days. As a GM, you have to hold on to the greats for as long as you can. But as you see from the list I started, you can't and you shouldn't hold on to them forever. If a trade including Reggie can get us in the top 10 to get someone who we think would be a huge benefit to the franchise at another position, then I'll take it all day. Old players can't build your future, no matter how much they mean to the franchise. I love Reggie to death, but let's be honest about his age and how many more years of football life he has.  (*And let us not forget that we still did pretty good without Reggie on the field, once we left the power run scheme and started throwing the ball more. So saying we can't survive without him is an overstatement.*) As a GM, you can't run a business off of your heart, you have to run a business making business moves. And sometimes, unfortunately, that involves making cut throat decisions.

Did he get chicken pox, leprosy, or something else?

 

I missed the news about him coming down with an illness.

    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Athletic, Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
