Jamaal Charles to the Colts for a second-rounder in '17

 

Jamaal Charles is a special player and widely beloved in Kansas City. From another angle, the Pro Bowl runner turns 30 in December with two major knee surgeries under his belt. TheColts, meanwhile, can't afford to viewFrank Gore -- soon to be 33 -- as the answer heading into next season.

With a healthy Andrew Luck returning, the Super Bowl window remains open in Indy. Charles would give the Colts a legitimate presence on the ground at an affordable $5.75 million for 2016. Kansas City won't part with their star back for cheap, but the Chiefs thrived withCharcandrick West and Spencer Ware carrying the load last season. After signing both to matching contract extensions on Thursday, getting value for Charles -- a second-rounder in 2017 -- would give Kansas City true fire power heading into next year's draft. -- Marc Sessler   "

NO,  NO, NO, NO!

I'm sorry, but first off, Irsay already expressed the need to get younger.  Yes 30 is younger than 33, but in what way is a 30 year old RB worth a 2nd rounder?!  Especially when VERY solid RB's are found in the 2nd.

Marc Sessler, don't quit your day job....oh wait...I mean find a different day job...lol.

Marc Sessler is brutal he just comes up with hypothetical situations, writes them down and pretends its realistic and he knows what he is talking about, i like to call it smoke and mirrors

[Bluefire4]

Nope...... Nope.

[tvturner]

He's a top 3 RB when healthy IMO. But and 2nd rounder would be too much for my taste

[rock8591]

5th rounder at best.

[NewColtsFan]

 

This is an especially easy "no" because next years class of running backs is already being thought of as perhaps the greatest class -- or certainly one of the greatest classes -- of all time.

 

At least 10 RB's ranging from good to great.    All who could go in the first 3 rounds with multiple players going in the 1st.       Great class.       No reason to trade a 2 for a 29 year old guy with lots of miles on him.      

 

One last thought:   RB's get old -- FAST!!

 

 

[GwinnettColt]

I think we have more pressing needs-O-line/OLB-rush that we need that 2nd round pick for.  

We can draft an RB in a later round.  Charles isn't young anymore and it just isn't worth the pick.

[OffensivelyPC]

[Kyle]

The Colts will be drafting a RB in the 1st or 2nd round this year.  100%

[gacoop1]

NEGATIVE!!! Too many RBs available in the 2nd and much, much younger.  Somebody need to take their medications to come up with this bonehead hypothetical scenarios....ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

Two knee surgeries, turning 30, cost over 5 mil no thanks

[DarkHorseColts]

[Indyfan4life]

4-5 years ago? Sure. Now? Nah, save that pick. 

[Clem-Dog]

At 30 yo Dorsey would be smiling to dump JC's salary on us, let alone gaining a 2nd, especially considering KC drafted him in the 3rd.  I'm not opposed to Charles if he clears waivers after he is cut.  

 

Regardless, until the line is fixed it won't matter.

 

 

[MTC]

Not a fan anymore of using a first or second round pick on RB's.

[GoColts00]

I'd  give the Chiefs a 1st...for Dontari Poe,but not a 2nd for J.Charles. 

[GoColts8818]

I don't think there is any danger of this happening.

[iraleec]

it don't matter what running back we get,if we don't have a line that we can get him open

This sums it up.

[Valpo2004]

Hardly worth a second rounder on several respects.  

 

1. Salary is too high to be worth it.

2. He's 30 and a RB, age is a huge factor here.

3. 2 Knee surgeries. . . Not an extraordinary amount of damage for an RB, but he is damaged.

4. He's a RB, they don't have the value they used to.

5. As others have said there are plenty of good prospects at his position in the draft that one could take in the 2nd round.  They would be 8 to 9 years younger and many have had less injuries.  

[Jim H.]

Hmm.  He was a day late releasing this.

Maybe a 2nd or 3rd. He isn't worth a 1st.
