Dorset to Buffalo for Ragland. Makes sense...might have to add filler from Colt's end. Bills say Ragland not a 4-3 fit.

Something like that will be the trade

[Chrisaaron1023]

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.. 1st rounder

[DougDew]

He seems inexpensive to keep at this point.

This is just a rumor. Take it with a grain of salt.

This is what i thought.  How many rumors do you think start from this forum?  Eisen will be saying monday that Luck is looking fro a new team. (Another crazy thread here)

 Actually his $2,2M salary is more likely an impediment to dumping him for some teams.
 I like Big Bug and or JoJo for $465,000.

[BProland85]

Another option instead of trading him for a late draft pick is acquiring a talented backup swing OL player. Jon Robinson, Titans GM, did a similar trade before last year when he traded Dorial Green Beckham to Philly for OT Dennis Kelley. Kelley has done well in Tennessee as a quality backup OT.

[PrincetonTiger]

It is not uncommon for exams to trade unproductive stars

[DougDew]

I also wonder if this isn't a roster management issue beyond just his talent/skill level.  Perhaps the play calling WR pattern will be shortened to save Luck's shoulder, and Dorsett is viewed as even less than a fit then.

It honestly would be stupid to trade him to division foes lol..for those suggesting that ^^^ why give them another deep threat

I have no idea how many rumors start here, but there are some crazy ideas being floated around. I think most of the rumors have some source to back it up. For this rumor, I'd need to hear it from a better source than Michael Lombardi to believe it.

Yeah, there would need to be a premium on the pick if it was going to another team in the division. We know Houston liked him in 2015 (before they got Fuller) but if they want him make them pony up their 3rd (they already don't have a 1st or 2nd rounder next year) haha.

[HarryTheCat]

The only person dumb enough to pull the trigger on a trade for Dorsett is the guy who was dumb enough to bring him here in the first place. Hello, Cleveland?...Have we got a deal for you!

[colts52761]

maybe trade to the 49ers?

[bananabucket]

I'd trade him for a 3rd but no one would give that up.  Just keep him.

Makes no sense...

You cant get much for him.

Better to keep him and hope he'll get good

Who would have thought Dorsett would see the door before Green?.... 

Most everyone.  Green is a second year player.

[Smoke317]

I'd trade Chud for a $2 bill and a half eaten snickers bar. Get an innovative OC (a HC would be even better) in here. If Dorsett doesn't flourish under him, then trade him. As of now, I place the majority of blame on Chud & his helter skelter gameplans. It's been 3 years & we still have no offensive identity under this clown.

I told my wife that PD is rumored to be on the trade market... then reminded her he was our first round pick three drafts ago by RG.

 

She said back to me, with a disappointed look on her face, "and where is RG now?"  She is a Browns fan by the way... 

[CR91]

You give up on a player when he's shown flashes. That makes sense

[ReMeDy]

I'd be fine with trading him. We could use either o-line help, or someone on defense, or I'd even be fine with a mid-round draft pick. Right now we have some promising WR's, and our WR corp is all still young, including Hilton. We need to offload some of this baggage, because there's only so many pass plays to go around.

I am sure he has been but he still has zero trade value 

Yeah, I would be surprised. But you never know I guess. There could be a GM out there that wants someone like Dorsett. Likely? Probably not.

[dodsworth]

I read where Pagano was frustrated about players going to the trainers for nicks, cuts, bumps and bruises and not playing through minimal injuries.

 

Was Dorsett one of the guys he was referring to? 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Not surprising at all, he is TY but not near as good, wouldn't surprise me if the Colts trad him for a 7th rounder. We don't know how to use him.

[aReggie7]

I think the Cardinals might be a good fit for Dorsett. No idea what value he has but they might be interested in adding a receiver. Bruce would be a great coach for Dorsett, imo.

[CheezyColt]

Isn't John Brown on the Cards already better than Dorsett?

I think he's the main guy Pagano was talking about. 

[gacoop1]

stockpile draft picks.  We'll get some more high draft picks in 2018 for for a 6-10 team.

[Shadow_Creek]

As long as he doesn't go to NE or Pitt I'm fine with it....

[1959Colts]

Which team has Grigson? Trade Dorset to them.

[Dark Superman]

I honestly don't think we utilize Dorsett the right way. If no one is willing to give up a 3rd rounder pick for him then we should keep him around. He's still in his rookie deal and isn't breaking the bank.

 

Trading Dorsett with Moncrief being a free agent at the end of the season isn't a smart move at all. If we lose both of them that would be a huge blow to our receiving corps.

 

The kid can fly... so why not have him out there receiving kicks and punts? Throw some screens to the kid or reverses. My god get creative and just get the ball into his hands.

 

Trading someone with that much potential for a 5th or 6th RD pick would just be stupid.

 

Trade him to the Patriots and watch him have a career year. SMH.

[AZColt11]

It doesn't make much sense to trade him if you aren't going to get anything you can use in return.  To give up on a high pick in just the start of his 3rd season just "to get rid of him" is kinda dumb.  Now if you can get someone that can help you in return, that's one thing.  But to give him up for a spare tire is not smart IMHO.  But in all honesty, who is going to give the Colts something good for him?  As many have said, what has he shown to this point that is worth it?  We may as well keep trying to make him into a player at this point.

Pretty sure he has some injury issues right now although i'm not sure of the specifics.

[Farns01]

Maybe this is a signal he's fallen so low on the depth chart and might get cut.  This might be the Colts trying to get whatever they can for him.

I doubt there is room for both on the 53 but I really like both those guys as well. Natson is the big play speedster/returner, and Howard is the go up and get it,  hands like glue type. I honestly think with TY, Rogers and Natson all being similar in size/style that Dorset is expendable in coaches eyes.

Exactly. Trade him to the Cardinals or Saints and watch Arians or Payton put up numbers with him...  I'm so sick of our coaching staff. There was always one thing we could count on here in Indy, and that was a dynamic offense.

 

It's been getting more and more inconsistent the past few years. I'm sure Luck's injury has to be a factor but I think our coaching is the biggest problem. I'm a diehard fan. I think every year is our year. This is only the 2nd season in nearly the last 20 years where I'm having serious doubts about our ability to compete. 

 

Please Luck come back and prove me wrong for doubting the Horseshoe.

[chrisfarley]

Quietly sweeping Grigson under the rug

[Malakai432]

I'm indifferent, I see value in him staying but if someone makes an offer they want so be it. 

 

Out with Dorsett, in with Jojo maybe???

[Ratking]

Would love to see him traded or cut. Maybe Moncrief too eventually... if any team wants a receiver made of glass.....
