Not sure but that might get done after June 1st when TreDavious White comes off the books and frees up $12 mil. of their cap space. They will have to backload Aiyuk's contract still because the Diggs trade benefits them only in 2025 and forward. Texans got Danielle Hunter too, if I am not mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans have the 7th best odds to win the SB now at +1500 IMO, the Texans are currently the 4th best team now in the AFC. (Chiefs, Ravens, Cincy with a healthy Burrow). Their GM is doing what OUR GM should be doing. I am happy we brought our star players back - Ballard did good there, but if Ballard was the man, he would've easily pulled off a deal like the Texans did with Diggs. I want to see Ballard trade for Justin Jefferson. I just want one thing as a Colts fan under Ballard where I can say WOW! That would be a WOW. Even Jim Irsay as GM pulled a WOW when we traded for Eric Dickerson, and we won the division because of it in 1987. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their GM is better than ours and that pains me to say it as being Mr Positive. I have Ballard in the top half of the league, 16th or so which is respectable but the Texans have a better one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don't think Ballard will ever go all in and get free agents or trades left and right like Texans have done... First of all, Ballard needs to go over the price limit or whatever limit he sets during negotiations for a truly difference maker like Hunter, and that'd be a baby step. However, Until his tenure ends, I think he'll stand by his philosophy and build the roster via draft mostly, and sometimes a trade or value free agent in a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They badly missed success in running game last year and it was all passing game or bad games, in some games Singletary did look good and the offense had some balance but it was few far and between. When Bengals released Mixon, Texans brought him in. Looks like free agents had Houston as favourite destination too, probably because of Stroud hype. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had AR stayed healthy and played well, the Colts would have made the playoffs and things would be different. Right now the team needs AR to play like a first round QB and play well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Colt Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Watching the TV sport jocks today a general agreement seems to be Buffalo could not wait to get rid of Diggs and he is no longer the player he was because most of his work was short passes because he can't get open. He was not a team player with the Vikings was also pointed out today. So stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont disagree, BUT Stroud, by the end of the year was a top 5 QB in the NFL Take this talent and add MUCH MORE talent. and they will be very hard to beat I am hopeful that AR grows this next year, and looks the part, in the offseason next year, we may make some more aggressive moves....

He was supposedly a locker room cancer The one that bugged me most was the tiny amount given up to get Pro Bowl DE Haasan Reddick He went for a 2026 conditional mid level pick He would have been a perfect pickup for the Colts Im not clear why we didnt make a move there He is better than any DE we have today.

Zoltan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Interesting that they gave up a 2nd round pick and then rework the contract as a 1 year deal, that seems like too high of a draft pick for a one year rental. I feel these type of deals don't work out for the team receiving the player to often but we will see, the Texans are definitely going all in.

(Like the Texans are doing right now) The correct time to be "all in" is when you know your QB is and will play great. The Colts are a year away from that but hopefully AR shines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
