What an *******.

I don't think he realizes we have had the 2nd best franchise over the last 20 years only behind the Patriots regarding wins so we are in our lane .

I am probably wrong, but I believe we only save 3 million of his 6 mill cap hit?

 

You're exactly right.

He's just punking on people saying it's a bad move for the Pats.  He quoted some guy saying it's a good move for both teams.

I hope we get at least a 3rd rounder.Anything more is icing on the cake.

Probably a 6th or 7th rounder.

[Krauses]

I'd take a UDFA lol. Frees up 5 mil this year 5 mill in 2018 and 7.5 mill in 2019

not too bad, I bet that goes up quite a bit next year and going forward.

[Malakai432]

I think it's a great move for both teams.  Barring injury DA will be lights out for NE, most likely.  For the Colts frees up some millions and they get a pick.

[Flash7]

Any chance we get a 5th and use it to trade with Philly for Kendricks?

what gave you that impression?

[gacoop1]

Hooray, now package the deal to get D Cook and some quality Edge.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Now I guess we know why we re-signed Doyle. I already like how active Ballard is. He is aggressive and even dealing with the Patriots on top of it.

[BullsColtsFan1]

I don't necessarily mind him being traded but the Pats?  Really?  I'll be curious what the exact details are.  So this means Swoope is probably coming back next year?  I liked what I saw from Swoope in limited time.

Go look at his community work then come back and say that. Whatever complaints you can have about his in field performance off the field he was a model citizen.

That guy is a * just because we don't have several superbowl rings for cheating up a storm doesn't mean this team was never good Mike Freeman is a loser.

[NorthernBlue]

My hatred for the Pats is really kicking in. If this was any other team, I'd be cool with it but because it's NE, I feel like he's gonna become a perennial all pro now .

 

Still anxious to see what we got for him. Ballard ain't playing around.

[stitches]

That's a relatively good return, IMO!

[SilentHill]

I LOVE THIS

Patriots traded a fourth-round pick to Colts for TE Dwayne Allen and a sixth-round pick, per league sources.

Three fourth round picks. Solid. Could use that as bait to trade up (if need be).

[CheezyColt]

It's really amazing how quickly fans turn on players....

[ProblChld32]

I for one am extremely happy about this, i wanted to re-sign Fleener in the first place. Doyle and the Emergence of Swoope made him expendable. Not to mention a pretty good bunch of TE's available in the draft

[2006Coltsbestever]

We got a 4th and a 6th! That is a great move for us.

He was actually quite the opposite. He was shakey on the field, but a really good guy off of it.

With the whole Parry situation, I'd say we need depth. I'd try to get Jones to take another pay cut.

That would be perfect. Allen for Kendricks essentially.

[JRnINDY]

We get a 4th

I agree but Doyle is simply better and we just got 2 extra Draft picks.

We didn't get a 6th. We gave them one.

I'm shocked by this move as Allen really wasn't very expensive for the next 2 years. The "brunt" of the contract was written in first and last year. Obviously Ballard thought he was pretty bad last year. Hopefully a little of it is they like Swoop a lot and want to get him on the field more ? In any event I'm betting it's NE's 5th which is pretty close to a 6th . If it's for their 6th , it qualify's as slightly more than just cutting him. 

 

I blow my horn now and then when I'm right , so I'll take my medicine on this one. I did not see this coming at all and  pretty much thought those that did were full of it.

If  I'm not mistaken we gave up a 6th and dwayne for the Patriots 4th;  We didn't get a 4 and a 6.

I'm assuming this is a fake twitter account.

We got 4th.

 

We traded away 6th and Allen.

 

IIRC, identical to Bennett trade,

No, we game them a 6th and Allen for a 4th, so we no longer have a 6th round pick.

 

Edit: Sorry, you just got piled on by like 7 of us...lol

I think we got a 4th and Gave away Allen and a 6th.

[Defjamz26]

B/Rbreporting it's a 4th but Pats will also get a 6th.

$6m in 2018, $8.4m in 2019. The future cap savings are much greater than in 2017.
