DaColts85 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We do not have any players that we would want to part with for this trade. All good players we have we need. Plus we need our draft picks. This would not make since and not to mention bringing in the $11mil/year salary instead of paying a rookie much less. Dorsett has very little value and some seem to try and over value him because he was a 1st round pick I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitches Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The Colts are getting younger. Every single signing has been about getting younger. I can't see us sending away high draft picks and young players for a player(albeit a very good one) going into his 30s. It's not happening.

dodsworth Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We will most likely get a defensive starter with a high pick In this year's draft, so no. Dorsett hasn't shown he is worth his weight in peanuts but the cap hit and high draft pick is what would hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shead might be out to start the season (torn ACL). Lane is a lost guy and wasn't very good last year. no good corners left in FA and they have nothing behind those two. He's very valuable for what they do so can't imagine that they would trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the stodgy owners want him spouting off about how other players are being black balled, not to mention what he said about his own coach? It's a combination of him voicing his opinions about the coaching and his age/salary. HIs contract expires next year, right? They're going to have to pay a few guys soon so if they can unload him for a high pick, they're smart to do so. The Steelers and Patriots have been doing that for years.

Idk why but our fan base for some reason would rather trade all our picks for players already in the league. It's like they won't even give Ballard a chance to draft idk about you but id rather have young studs on rookie contracts then old expensive vets.

They just dont get the fact that only a handful of players traded (and big named players signed in FA for that matter) in modern league history have had the same or similar impacts for the new teams they go too. Jimmy Graham for example, not doing so hot in Seattle. Same with Haynesworth a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, however I'd have no problem trading a draft pick for a proven player who's just coming off his rookie contract. The odds of any draft pick being what you want him to be gets slimmer with each round. You only have to look at our 13 draft to see that. So there's nothing wrong with getting a guy you know can play. Sure, he's going to cost more but you know what you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboat_Shaun Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Asking price is too high. I'm assuming a high pick is 3rd round or better, and good player would be a Donte Moncrief type. If that's the case, the Colts would be getting fleeced in that deal, especially considering that they'd be taking on his $13mil per year contract. No thanks. I could justify giving them Dorsett and one of our 4th rounders, but that's as much as I'd be willing to part with for a 29 year old corner.

loudnproudcolt Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 If we continue to run a press coverage, he just does not fit our system anyway. Great in zone coverage, and although very good, I don't think people take into account how much Earl Thomas helps him. Certain players are great due to the system. Sherman in our system would be good, but not nearly the career he has had. When was the last time a high prospect was traded and it worked out really well for the other team, except for Revis and NE, and that was one year. Then they let him walk, and it was downhill.
