Does this team make any trades before deadline?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Rumors are Braden Cooks might be on the trade block. Would only be a 1.5 million cap hit. Would Texans trade him to the colts? Would the colts have enough snaps for him?

Not really interested unless the Colts aren't confident in TY's return. Wouldn't hate it, but not really wanting to give anything up for him. And it wouldn't be just this year. He's got a 15M cap hit next season.

I agree Mack is potentially a great trade chip. Obviously, the other team has to have a RB need and an available DB the Colts want. 
But playing Mack isn’t a bad thing whether or not they are showcasing him. He’s a solid runner who has the size and power that Hines lacks. And he gives the Colts a competent replacement for JT when he needs a break. 
 

Seems like you described Wilkins more than Mack.

 

However, if JT, Hines, or Wilkins gets injured, i would feel better with Mack on the team.  Love Mack, just dont see aburst, and doubt we’re being offered much.   From that standpoint , i like the insurance of our 4 backs.  This season anyway.  Run game is too important.

It blows my mind how many people seem to think that we still have all of this cap space. We have almost none.

I know.  Some people seem to need the Cliff notes when they come on here.

Cap money...... hilarious.

That was so 2020.

The Ravens could give a nice package for Mack. They have a 1, 2, two 3’s , five 4’s , and one sixth. Man could we use a decent RB ! 

Deal!

Honestly, this trade should be Mack for Cooks straight up. It would be a win/win for each club in my opinion. I think Mack could easily start over Johnson (at this career point) and Lindsay and cooks for us would give another weapon I still think we need

If they would trade with us I think it would be a good trade for both teams.  He could definitely help us.

Marlon Mack still being available is what everyone on here should really take note of. 

 

I get that there is some on here that does not want to see Mack go, so I will not be insensitive to those who feel that way but let's look at the facts.

 

Mack didn't have much "REAL" interest in offseason from other clubs or so it seems. I state "REAL" as I'm sure some clubs kicked a little tire but in the end Mack came back to Colts on a bargain prove it deal so it's possible the injury bug kept his market silent, but now....???

 

If Mack isn't moved by Nov. 2nd it should really tell ALL Colts fans something. It's either that Ballard is wanting way too much for a player not that valuable outside of maybe the Colts team or there really isn't a market for Mack as he is a jag and not really that special in the eyes of 31 other teams.

 

I mean let's look at two teams who have already made moves. Most recently the Saints.

 

Earlier this month there was a blurb that the Saints were looking into Mack along with a couple other teams yet they ended up getting Ingram for late round future picks. Ok? I think we all thought Mack wouldn't fetch more than a sixth, high point 5th right? Is Mack better than Ingram at this stage? I would say yes, so does this non-deal fall on Ballard or lack of real interest in Mack as a commodity? 

 

How about Miami who recently signed Duke Johnson? Duke Johnson???? I mean is Duke Johnson better than Mack? I don't think so and Mack going back to Florida would've been perfect for him seeing as he has some roots in Florida from his SF days, so what gives? Would Mack instantly become better than Ahmed as a back-up behind Gaskin? Heck, Mack might even push Gaskin.

 

Now maybe he will get dealt, but if he doesn't something is weird. Figuring out what's going on is the great mystery here but rest assured, it's looking like Mack is either not that special or Ballard is a complete buffoon on actual player value which I might add he has had trouble with in FA over the years when wanting to shill out contracts

That would be nice if they weren’t sure about TY coming back next season. Cooks is injury prone though and probably would be a high draft pick. 

[MikeCurtis]

I think our current WR team is enough. (Not great, but is the REALLY a cheap option available, that would make a differnce?)

 

Cooks has been on MANY teams.... there is something amiss.

 

Its sort of like rushing to marry a lady that has been married 5 times in the last 5 years,,,,, she may be attractive

but... SOMETHING AINT RIGHT.....

 

I have high hopes for TY health, and Coutee picking up

 

The ONE spot that is GLARING is FS.....  I mean grand canyon type hole

 

The FS in this defense stops the 50Yd bombs from being completed 

 

Since my last post on this thread.... I hope we try to improve that position

(More than than the street FA that was bagging groceries 2 weeks ago)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[throwing BBZ]

 

 Maybe a conditional 6th for Mack.
 Ballard would only give up a 3rd for a player still under contract next season.
  I would think it would take a win against Tenn. to get him to do it.

Great deal for the Colts ! Two rumors in the mill are Mack going to the Chargers for a 2022 6th round pick, or Baltimore for a 2023 fifth round pick.

 I would take Ingram over Mack. So Hmmm to all your assumptions!

Well, I wouldn't take either and that's not an assumption.

Wow

 

 

[TigerColt]

Now that Wilkins is back at FP I expect Mack to be dealt.  My hope is for a pick or safety help.  Maye would be a dream.  Anyone know what happened to Wilkins?

 

Joseph

[DougDew]

Mack, Ben, and Turay for a Ham Sandwich seems like a good trade at this point.

 

Seriously, combined with the comp pick that I think we will get for Autry, a few late round picks could be useful in moving up in the mid rounds for a targeted player(s).

My hope is that Mack goes to a team that he can obviously start right away for or holding him on my fantasy bench will have been completely worthless.....

This. We may not get a good player in those later rounds but maybe can package some of them to move up in the 3rd or 4th. Turay and Ben clearly have no future here  after this year so get what you can. Dayo should be playing next Thursday so maybe trading one of these two could open up a roster spot without cutting anyone.

Doesn’t hurt to call around and ask. 

[Hoose]

I’d guess the following occurs:

1. Mack is traded for a 5th OR 6th rounder.

2. Turay is kept.

3. There is less than a zero market for Banagu and he is cut when Dayo is activated.

Turay would def get us something. injury history is terrible but has made plays when healthy.

 

Now Banogu, cant see anyone taking a risk on him though he wouldnt be the first high round DE to go from bust to not. Jerry Hughes comes to mind.  One stat I wasnt aware of until recently for BB was he has zero missed tackles for his career.

Do the Rams still need a RB? Seems like a Jackson for Mack trade could work.

We spread the ball around to all possible targets, he’d NEVER be happy with the Colts. 
 

If you’re on the right team and you’re still not happy avoid players like that.

He plays.   I guess they’re not throwing the ball to him enough to satisfy him.  
 

So he’d rather catch more passes for a team that may not be as good.     Yikes!
