Yoshinator Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nice trade honestly. Got more than I thought, and the trade of 2nd rounders, conditional 2nd, and them paying Wentz's salary cap is all icing on the cake. Best possible scenario IMO. If Wentz plays 70% of the snaps, we'll only move down from a 1st to a 2nd as a penalty for this poor mistake of trading for Wentz. Good job Ballard!

He knows Franks system and the Colts were high on him. I don’t think it will happen but if they are looking at stop gap or a guy to start until a rookie is ready they could very well bring Jacoby back.

Trubisky was someone that I liked the idea of last season and after the reports of his growing and developing even more in Buffalo, I would love to bring him in on a 2 year deal. 39 minutes ago, TaylorTheStudMuffin said: Crazy because he can’t even throw until July.

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I think it would be a let down if they got rid of all of Wentz salaries and got a extra draft pick just to waste it on Jimmy. Your not really gaining anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we’re going to expend yet more resources to replace him with somebody who probably won’t be any better (and may well be worse)….and those resources are needed to address other deficiencies. It would’ve made more sense to use this off-season to address those needs, give him one more year, and if his play doesn’t improve then use the high 1R draft pick we’ll have next year (with a better QB class, by most projections) to take a swing at a rookie.

That's not a bad return then for a guy who's not the guy at QB for the Colts. He lacks the mental fortitude to be a franchise QB to go deep in the playoffs.

Within striking range of the lower 1st. The WASH third, which is a high third, and the WASH 2nd could get us into the bottom of the first. Carson Strong would probably be there. or others. Get the 5th year option. Sign Mariota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07dleigh Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Why isn't Matt Ryan isn't being mentioned as an option more? Would be Phillip Rivers-esque? Is it because his contract sucks? Maybe they'd be willing to make something work. They seemingly are ready to move off of him & start the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb41champs Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 https://www.nfl.com/news/carson-wentz-trade-commanders-acquire-colts-qb We got a lot more in this deal than I was afraid we would get. Time for the Colts to put together an aggressive package to acquire QB Derek Carr and work on a long-term contract for him. Keeping my fingers crossed !!
