Chiefs, Panthers, 49ers and Saints Have All Inquired about Mack!

[philba101]

I am curious what Ballard is actually looking to get for Mack. The Fact that a trade has not happened yet makes me think there is either no real interest or Ballard is asking to much in return. Thoughts.

[Shepman]

Playing chicken until the deadline

[krunk]

I hope he continues to ask for too much. As soon as as something happens to Taylor the offense and running game is going to go South if we have to give full time duties to Wilkins and Hines. We could get by pretty good with Mack and Hines.

Wilkins and Hines could manage

[Patrick Miller]

Maybe it's a bidding war or sorts. Perhaps Ballard is waiting for the best offer.....

[krunk]

Certainly could not. Wilkins had onr decent game last year and has never proven he could be a starter.

That's generally what it means when a trade hasn't occured yet yes.  Lol.

[richard pallo]

Deadlines spur action. A lot of teams interested which could push the asking price.  A player could be in play as well.  Hard to believe a trade won’t go down now.  Especially after they told Mack they are willing to find a trade partner.  

[Nesjan3]

I can see Ballard not pulling the trigger because he is not getting what he wants. Look for Mack to be on the team for the remainder

[Hoose]

I beg to differ. If there is a match for a FS, Mack is a great trade piece. The Niners are decimated at RB. So are the Ravens, while the Panthers have had a setback with McCaffrey and need another guy. In the right situation, Mack is far more valuable than a late draft pick. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Mack for the Honey Badger straight up!

[Scott Pennock]

Juan Thornhill from the Chiefs in trade with Mack...

 

Gardner-Anderson from the Saints.....

 

Talanoa Hufanga from the 49ers.....

 

Kenny Robinson from the Panthers.....

 

Probably in that order too!

I know I am joking and Honey's contract is outrageous but I would like that trade  

[2006Coltsbestever]

These next 2 weeks are the season folks. We need KC to beat the Titans, we need to beat the 49ers and then we need to beat the Titans. If that happens it looks real good at that point. We then play the Jets and Jags.

Could be for a CB too.  We are focused on safety because of the injury but I think CB could be in play as well.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

If he were to be traded I would have hoped the Ravens got him. Of the teams mentioned I guess KC or SF.

 

 

[BlackTiger]

I doubt they are offering much, what would you guys accept for him?  If its a 5th-7th id probably hang on to him.  I would consider a 4th or better

 

We need a FS or CB 

[The Old Crow]

I think you could get a 4 for him.

Wilkins has shown flashes in LIMITED spurts and has also been dinged with some minor injuries from a couple of those appearances. Do you honestly want to see Hines become even MORE misused as the PRIMARY rb with an INCREASED number of runs up the gut? I'll pass on that.

 

The way that the injury bug has been decimating this team I can't imagine what it would look like if JT went down for some extended time. Don't trust Frank enough to orchestrate a dynamic passing game or to adapt in his loss. So for me Mack is a nice insurance policy as our former rb1 and is more valuable to a Colts team looking to make a run this season than a late round pick for next year that may or may not work out anyway. Plus I'm not trying to HELP any contending team get better.

 

Now if you can somehow pull off a trade for an UPPER tier fs or cb then all bets are off and I would reluctantly move Mack.

Agreed. People talk about how TEN would be terrible if something happened  to Henry. 
 

Well, trade Mack and have Taylor get hurt…and a big difference will be there as well.

Agreed. The Colts aren’t getting much in return for Mack. It’s more valuable keeping him for the remainder of the season. 

[chad72]

CMC, CEH, Chubb, Hunt, Carson, Barkley, All 49ers RBs, Dalvin Cook, are just a list of few marquee RBs that have missed games and many more. Ballard knows he doesn’t need to unload Mack unless he gets a 5th or better since he knows this team can’t afford a JT injury if Mack is gone.

[Four2itus]

I think the team would get more value in a pick than they would a player at this time of the season. 

[Solid84]

He’s worth more to us than a 5th or worse. I’d consider it for a 4th and take a 3rd immediately. 
 

I’d rather we got a decent CB or FS though. 

[John Hammonds]

When is the trade deadline?

CB knows that teams can get Mack for free after the season is over.  And if he wants to get anything in return, he has to do it by the trade deadline.

Well, the 'return' would be a comp pick and I wonder what kind of comp he might bring if he leaves this offseason?

I think NOV 2nd.

I really like Mack, but I agree with this.  RB is an overvalued position on this board by leaps and bounds. 

 

Some dude from Cleveland had 160yds last night.

probably no better than a 6th based on what hes making now. could be a 7th or nothing at all if he doesnt sign for enough $ elsewhere

Was there ever any doubt about anything you typed here?  Of course Ballard knows that.  Heck, the fans all know that ... If he wants anything in return for a player slated to be a FA at year end, he has to trade him by the trade deadline?  

[2006Coltsbestever]

I doubt anything happens to Johnny and if it does we still have Hines and Wilkins. I would try and trade Mack for a 3rd. A 3rd would be a steal.

A week from Tuesday.

We don’t even have to go very far back in our own history to see it. 
 

Hines and Taylor can handle the load. Find secondary depth because we actually need that. Not a third wheel RB just making us regret letting our starter stand on the sidelines and twiddle his thumbs.
