"Colts today traded a late-round 2016 NFL Draft pick to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for linebacker Sio Moore."

 

from the Colts app

Yeh, i'm suprised. Is he a OLB/DE hybrid in the Raiders system? Does he project more as an ILB in our 3-4?

[MTC]

Bye Werner.

[PrincetonTiger]

Does this mean Mathis will not be ready

Doubt it.

[SilentHill]

Does this mean Mathis will not be ready

 

No, I think it means the departure of Bjorn Werner though.

[BProland85]

Wow really like this trade for the Colts. He has produced for the raiders and they're crowded with talent at OLB anyways. Could provide some much needed pass rush outside of Mathis.

[Superman]

What?????? Sio Moore is really, really, really good...

 

Edit: Maybe too many really's there, but Moore is the athletic, rangy ILB that we need.

Thanks for the info

[mattceinicram]

Bye Werner.

You honestly think we will cut him?

[CheezyColt]

No, I think it means the departure of Bjorn Werner though.

Fine by me.

[Superman]

Moore is an ILB in our scheme. This is a really good trade, especially if it's for a late round pick like what's being reported...

[backshoulderfade]

Looks like Grigs just turned a late round pick into someone who can put up immediate production.

[MTC]

You honestly think we will cut him?

 

Yes. Werner has always suited better as a 4-3 DE. 

[12dalegend]

Go Grigs..keep em comin GO COLTS!

[achcolts]

Someone who knows about sio moore care to tell us a bit about him?

Sounds good to me. Wonder which round was traded?

[Superman]

I didn't realize Moore was coming off of injury. Still, I like the way he played last season.

[Yoshinator]

I like this trade immediately. Great job by Grigson, especially if it's a 6th or 7th rounder for him. He will make our defense that much better. I believe he can play any LB position. Not sure what he will play here. I assume OLB actually.

[corgi]

Glad to see that some of you are saying he's a good player. I personally don't know a lot about him but he has a really cool name...that has to count for something, right?

For the right to trade for former #Raiders OLB Sio Moore, the #Colts give up a 6th round pick.

Looks like it's a sixth. Nice trade. I like it if he plays ILB.

He's a 4-3 OLB. If he's coming here to play OLB, bye Werner

[BOTT]

Yes. Werner has always suited better as a 4-3 DE.

There is zero evidence of that. He has played in a 43 while here.....zzzz

So is DQ on the bubble? Can't imagine that the play of Herrera or Slvestree in influenced this decision.

That is SOOO 3 minutes ago.

I'm on your side. No idea who he is. But Sio sounds cool

If he gets a sack or turnover I can tell "Yay! Let's Sio some moore"

[SDakColts]

Awesome trade, the value we get for the pick we gave up is awesome. Great move by Grigs, shows he stays on the phone.

[bababooey]

Raiders were a little crowded at LB, very happy we got immediate solid production for such a late pick. Maybe get a DT next?

[Superman]

He's a 4-3 OLB. If he's coming here to play OLB, bye Werner

 

Moore doesn't play Werner's position. You guys are killing me...

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

Love love love this trade!

[BOTT]

Good trade

[USAFHoosier]

If his hip is 100% this deal will be a steal.

[TKnight24]

6th rounder

Most likely means Junior Sylvestre isn't cracking the 53, major disappointment to me. But I like the deal, Moore is extremely athletic and could be a very nice fit if used correctly. He'd be a very good compliment to Irving (talking style wise). He's only played 10 snaps so far this pre-season, I hope he'll return to form. In 2013, PFF loved him gave him a +10.1 grade and called him a sleeper.

[Superman]

DQ's money is guaranteed, I don't think he's going anywhere. Irving could be. Moore is potentially better than anyone we have at ILB, IMO. Assuming he's healthy. He only played ten snaps in preseason, all last night. Going to watch them now...

I said "If"
