Bill Barnwell of ESPN wrote an article a few days ago stating that Ariens and the Bucs could be interested in trading for Wentz if Brady retires.  He mentioned Ariens is a big fan of Wentz and has been for a long time. He fits all the measurements and traits that Ariens covets in a QB.  Barnwell suggested a 1st rd pick for Wentz.  It could be Wentz’s rebound this year helped him in the eyes of the other front offices. I think most Colts fan would find it hard to believe we would get a 1st for Wentz.  If the Colts agreed to pay the bonus he’s due in March as part of the trade it might have a chance of happening.  Who knows.

I read that earlier and laughed. He isn’t young anymore where you can mold him. He has a proven track record. Colts are not trading him without a upgrade either.

Dick Vermiel would disagree.    Kurt Warner was 27 when he signed with the Rams.   Humans are capable of changing our entire lives

He just needed a chance. He didn’t have six years of mediocre or bad play. It’s easy to say Arians liked him when he came out or the year after but once he gets a track record of medicare or bad play that changes.

I think Wentz had a pretty good year actually considering the receivers he was throwing to and all of the other circumstances he had to deal with.  Ariens might feel the same way.

He did ok. I just done see anyone thinking he is good enough to trade for him and make him a starter.  Colts would have to have a serious upgrade to even think of doing that.

Yeah.  He was bagging groceries because he was a great QB

He was discovered when Dick Vermeil was leaving the grocery store, and Warner had forgotten to pack Vermeil's Mamey Sapote (called the football fruit). As Vermeil walked away, Warner lobbed the Mamey over Vermeil's shoulder and it landed softly on the pack of Charmin. The rest, as they say, is history. True story.

Well the Colts did it after he had a horrible year and made him a starter.  Not saying they are going to do it but I wouldn’t rule it out entirely.  There will probably be a lot of QB movement this year.  Mariotta and Trubisky will be free agents.  Who knows.

I think it’s different though giving someone a second chance. Third chances are very unlikely.

There were 7 rings given to mortal men, and Tom Brady got all of them. :)  Lord of The Rings!!! 

 

Good luck with your next venture, Tom!!! Great to see you walk you in great physical shape, I am sure other QBs wished they could be at your physical level when they walked away. Enjoy HOF 1st ballot in a few years and all the time you get to enjoy with family.

Did I miss something?  I agree he's probably going to announce soon, but I haven't seen an official announcement?

It is still speculation right now.

I am thinking that once the SB teams are finalized, we will see something next week. Hey, he could pull a Michael Jordan, and come back out of retirement in a year or two, LOL. :)

"Cheating" is a constant in sports. In every football game holding and tripping acts are missed by officials. A catcher in baseball cheats every time he moves his glove over the plate after he knows the ball missed the strike zone. Remember when the baseball player did not have to touch second base for a force-out while making a double play?

He didn't throw to any receivers. Sometimes he would throw in their area.

Systemic cheating over years and years using two different modalities (and maybe more) is a bit different.

This is your reasoning to excuse Patriots cheating?

The amazing thing for me, is how incredibly physically fit he still is.

 

 

Most QBs go out battered and bruise, an empty husk of what they used to be. Especially the greats. Brady looks like he could keep playing at a high level for several more seasons. It's unreal.

I think Ballard would jump for joy if he was offered a first.   Wouldn’t be able to say YES! fast enough. 
 

But while I think Arians MIGHT still be interested in Wentz, I don’t see a first round offer in our future.   Right now, today, Wentz is a depreciating asset.   If we were able to get a 2 and a 4, I think Ballard would gladly take it.  
 

Still…. I don’t see this happening.

That's what I was saying. 

 

I'm glad he's calling it a career.  :default_20smile:

Wonder if Tampa could be a good spot for Rodgers with all those weapons.

Tampa has all kinds of cap problems.   They made it work last year but this year will be even tougher.  Rogers most likely too expensive.  I’m expecting Rogers to the Broncos.

      Ravens colts predictions

      As long as we are competitive in this game and execute our offensive and defensive schemes, basically looking like we have a plan, I'm happy. Big test.

      We don't have the tiebreaker over the Marlins or Reds. We need to finish 1 game better than both to get in. No matter what happens, the Cubs have brought us excitement again. 2021 and 2022 were a disaster. We are in this thing with 10 games to go. All you can ask for. As of now, ESPN is showing we have a 45% chance to make the playoffs. Not bad odds.

      The Bears Delima and the Colts Future

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Seen the news tonight and the Bears making headlines first for their DC stepping down for health reasons and QB Justin Fields blaming coaching for his poor performance.  Looks like the Bears organization on the verge of major changes come end of season.   I also realize it's way too early to look ahead to the draft for next year, but Arizona has really set themselves up nicely for the first three rounds.  With all the draftees to enter this year I would love to have additional pick(s) in round 3 as well.  The Lions looking like a good trade partner to drop back with in round 2.  Do still like the idea of doubling up on first round draft picks plus add an additional pick in round three.  Our franchise keen on building this team through the draft.

      The Bears Delima and the Colts Future

      Wrong Hunt my friend.   Was actually talking about Dolphin's offensive lineman Robert Hunt who plays RG and will be an upcoming free agent who has been playing very well as potentially an option if he chose to hit the free agency market.  After the first two weeks Fries has been holding his own which is awesome and can potentially scratch Robert Hunt's name off the list.   As for Zak Moss realize his value going forward which is why he is high on the list to be resigned while Deon Jackson is a cut candidate.  Keep tabs on RB DeeJay Dallas from the Seahawks.  Reminds me of Zak Moss and has nearly identical stat production.    If we had to look at the NFL draft for a future RB look up Quinshon Judkins (Ole Miss).  Believe he is a sophomore this year and probably not eligible for the draft but check out some of his accolades from college.  2022 PFF TOW 9 honors had 14 broken tackles against Texas A&M, 5 breakaway runs of 15+ yards in company with likes of Derick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Chuba Hubbard.  Judkins came to Ole Miss as just a three-star recruit but, like Will Johnson at No. 21, dominated in Year 1.  He ranked in the top 10 in college football in rushing yards (1,567), rushing touchdowns (16), yards after contact (929) and forced missed tackles (76). Judkins also moved the chains on 91 of his attempts last year, placing fourth among FBS running backs.   Another college standout at RB was Jaydn Ott (Cal) - sophomore.  In 2022 after first 4 weeks, he owned the highest rushing grade in FBS 94.4 – 8.1 yards per attempt.   Ott finished off 2022 season with 897 rushing yards averaging 5.3 yards per carry and 8 rushing touchdowns.  He also caught 46 passes for 321 yards and added 3 more touchdowns as a receiver.  After first two games this season Ott already has 270 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns.   If we have to address running back this offseason the top choice to enter the draft might be Bucky Irving (Oregon).  Irving was one of the most electric backs in the country last year. Now a junior, but as a sophomore he forced a missed tackle on 43% of his attempts, which ranked second in the country. It was also the fifth-best single-season mark since PFF began charting college football in 2014.  First three games Irvin is averaging 8.0 yards per carry, 216 yards on 27 carries and scored three touchdowns.
