Multiple teams interested in trading for him. I would not b surprised if the Colts were  one of those teams. A 6 overall pick and only 25.  I think it would take a 2nd rounder at least.  If they could get him with say and 2nd and another lower pick,  I would go for it.  

As much as I may chide people for lowball trade offers, I think a 2nd may be too much for his production level and what may be a 11 game rental

I am watching the Jets game and I must admit, I am not overly impressed with Williams.  Mayb playing in a one gap system would benefit him?  

And this should have been the game where he would have shown off some skills getting to the qb, as this was really the first game this year where the Jets were consistently playing with a lead. 

 

I think this is a lot closer to a 5th round pick territory.

If we win this week I could see Ballard being interested in Williams and maybe a few others.  A trade could also involve players like Odum, Gaethers or Wilson and a pick.  I think winning this week would make a trade more likely.  We could use DL and WR help for a run.  Not to mention we are in deep trouble if Costanzo goes down for any length of time.  JMO.

I HIGHLY doubt that it happens, 

 

I am usually against all the trade for this guy, trade for that guy bantor......

 

But to me..... right now, DT is a HUGE priority, for this team, right now.

 

I would offer a fourth round pick and and a conditional pick, plunk him in the rotation at DT (both spots)

 

Clowney is a much more valuable player, and was traded for a 3rd, and 2 non starters

 

He lines up at DE and DT, he is really good against the run, he also gets some pressure

 

He is basically a half year rental, as he is on the last year of his contract

 

We could work out a long term deal if he plays well

I’d offer them a 3rd round pick and Haeg for Williams. They seem to like doing business with us. The trade in the 2018 draft and they also have 3 former Colts on their team (Anderson, Basham, and Hairston).

 

Or just wait till FA. Which is way more likely because you know Ballard likes dem picks lol

Jets will ask for no less than a 3rd round pick for him. Wait until he hits free agency. 

A 3rd round pick wouldn’t be bad considering we have two 2nd round picks. Plus I think the roster is nearing the state where there’s enough young high-ceiling players that you can afford to trade a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

 

Plus the Colts could use him now as opposed to later. Once we get into December, we’re going to need a run stopper like him because Hunt and Stewart ain’t cutting it.

I couldn't agree more.  He would be the perfect addition if we wanted to upgrade the defensive side of the ball.  He is young and he would also be a major contributor for many years to come.  Hopefully Ballard is interested and can he can strike another deal with the Jets.  We can afford to trade a 2nd or 3rd right now and get an immediate return in a position of need.

Slightly off topic, but did anyone recognize B/R got rid of the comments section they had. There are other options, but not the standard comment section. 
 

Over the years, I did catch when they were pushing an agenda, they’d close the comment section, but like I said, 100% gone now.

This is okay.  We didn't draft him there.  He's a solid run stopper now and he does get pressure on the QB.  Just what we need and he is available.  It would be like deja vu with Booger McFarland.

Stewart isn't doing horrible but Hunt isn't anywhere near the same player he was last year.

    • I think he paid Johnathan Hankins about 10M per year(30/3) in his first free agency when he was remaking the whole defense.  In 2019 he signed Justin Houston for 24/2... and Devin Funchess for 13M...  In 2020 - Rivers... In 2021 - none In 2022 - Gilmore In 2023 - none
    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.
