Jimmy Graham Article Involving Colts

[Gibbons180]

Hey everybody,

The off-season continues to drag on with little to no news. I saw on Twitter and on NFL Insiders on ESPN at 3:30pm involving this topic (which I will post the link) but take it as you will. Just thought id share and start a discussion.

Thanks---http://nfltraderumors.co/patriots-falcons-colts-packers-could-have-interest-in-signing-jimmy-graham-to-offer-sheet/

GO COLTS

[Dustin]

Would make 0% sense.

[That Guy]

I honestly don't know what to think of this...

[ColtsLegacy]

I honestly don't know what to think of this...

You should think it's bull %.

[Jason_]

The Colts getting Alex Mack was a more plausible scenario than this, imo.

[PrincetonTiger]

Why?

Holy Smokes that is a bad rumor.  They have good TE's as it is, are already training another b-ball player turned TE, and would in no way part with the picks it would require.

[weslo1812]

What? We got 2 young guys, let them develop. We have plenty of big contracts were gonna have to fork our here in the next two years anyways. Hed definitely be a nice option to have in the passing game but I think we are good with what we have in house.

[Bluefire4]

Ridiculous.

[antipatriot]

yeah makes no sense at all especially for us we have much bigger needs

[MTC]

It's not happening. 

[pgt_rob]

That's pretty far fetched.

[throwing BBZ]

that he would make a huge upgrade. Fleener is faster than this yokel. Just waiting on his QB to have time to find him.

And Allen is solid as a rock too. Ed is lost on this one.

[akcolt]

How about we make sure we have an O Line. It would be nice to stop the run too. We are only mentioned because we have cap space I doubt the interest is mutual. I for one hope Grigs is done giving away 1st round picks

[Gavin]

Meh don't believe and if it happens I'd be ticked, He is a great talent but not worth giving up to 1st round picks seeing as how we have two young and talented TE's, I sure would not give up a chance to get Vic Beasley for Graham

[ProblChld32]

The individual who wrote this is a clown, lol i mean seriously why?

[ColtsFanMikeC]

All signs point to Dwayne Allen being 100% healthy and ready to go -- unless we're missing something and the team is worried about his health, this makes very little sense. I know we are looking to get bigger WR targets for Luck, and it seems like Graham would most likely be used more as a WR than a TE if we got him, but between Nicks, Moncrief and Rogers we have 3 good sized WR's that are probably faster than Graham is.

[CanuckColt]

We better forget this right now. 

If we give him an offer sheet and the Saints don't match, it will cost us two 1st rounders...yuck!

Let's just keep those 1st round picks and add a couple top players to the team.

[coltsfanmilyman]

I think the only reasons we were thrown into this article are the "offensive system" is supposedly TE friendly and we have a decent amount of cap space.  To me, these are the only two logical explanations for us being mentioned.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

This isn't happening.

[Gibbons180]

Starting a topic discussion so I guess that's an accomplishment lol, I for one agree we shouldn't pursue but who knows. GO COLTS

[kjyb]

i was going to be first to comment but i dint know what to think or say about this  :???:

[ReMeDy]

What I don't get is why is every blockbuster trade scenario involving the Patriots? How can they even afford someone of Jimmy Graham's caliber when they just signed Revis?

[peytonmanning18]

He'd obviously be a huge upgrade and an awesome weapon for Luck, but I think he would be an unnecessary luxury.  Our primary focus at this point needs to be improving the offensive line and the interior of the defense.   

[CR91]

it would never happen for the simple reason fleener is wearing 80

[jmac_48]

$10 mil a year contract, give up two #1 draft picks, yeah right this makes sense???

 

Hell, we can probably re-sign both Allen & Fleener   for not a whole lot more than $10 mil a year.

 

Dang, keep the money and the draft picks, It's not a position of need right now!

[Solon]

I don't think we've shown interest in him. I think the article is saying we have the money to sign him.

[IndyD4U]

Asinine!

[bestQBever]

maybe if we trade fleener. but I think are skill positions are good for this season. We still have doubts on safety, interior O line, interior D line. TE is not an issue. 

[The Peytonator]

I know it has less than 0% chance of happening, but if Grigson gave up two 1st round picks and gave Graham $10M a year, I think I'd start going all Brad Wells on this forum. 

[GoColts8818]

I wont believe it till I see Graham with a horse shoe on his head and even then I don't think I'll believe it.

 

I think this is lazy reporting because I think the person just saw we had the cap space to pay for him.  With that said no one thought we would trade for a running back last year either.  If you have a chance to get a better player at a position even if you have good players at that position you take it.  Still I don't see this happening. 

[lollygagger8]

Wow, I didn't know we had that much cap space left! 

 

 

 

Besides, our TE tandem has the potential to be the best in the league. 

[Holden89]

I'm pretty sure we're only mentioned because we could actually afford it.   I don't see the need, and don't think it will happen.  However, with the way Grigs throws draft picks around, I really wouldn't be all that shocked.

[Valpo2004]

Not worth the cap money considering what we have.  Other teams would have good reason to be interested, but I don't think we would.  

 

No sense in spending $10 million plus to improve a position that is at the bottom of the list in terms of areas that need improvement.

 

It would likely give Andrew Luck a huge boost in fantasy value but I doubt it would give us a lot more W's.

[Valpo2004]

I'm pretty sure we're only mentioned because we could actually afford it.   I don't see the need, and don't think it will happen.  However, with the way Grigs throws draft picks around, I really wouldn't be all that shocked.

 

Somehow it wouldn't completely surprise me because with the Trent trade I get the feeling that Grigs likes to make the occasional splash move.  

 

However there are so many other places that we could spend that cap money that need more help.  

[Ja'Crispy]

We are listed because of our financial situation. I also think people have forgotten about Dwayne Allen (people being the media folk). 

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I for one hope Grigs is done giving away 1st round picks

 

Yeah, me too. Wait, when did that happen?

[a06cc]

This is based off of cap if you guys read carefully. They mention Allen and Fleener. This is just a minor suggestion.

[Iancolts]

TE come out every year and I think jimmy is a great TE but they aren't hard to find. We have two above average TE and that's good enough

[Stephen]

people have forgotten about dwayne allen. In fantasy football i see most people ignoring him and nicks
