As long as they have Mahomes,Kelce and that defense they will be fine. But hey can’t blame the chiefs for making an effort to improve the team even more. I wish a certain team in Indy would do that!

Cupp was great and may have some juice left, but not a need. If I were Ballard, Cleveland is where I would have exploratory conversations.   Garrett, Njoku, and to a lesser degree Newsome are players that could help the Colts a lot.

Trade multiple 1sts to Cleveland for Watson then sign him to $500 million fully guaranteed contract. This is the colts answer to all our prayers

That would be cool, but I bet the colts sit on their hands. Some teams try harder than others. The Chiefs for example.

STOP!!!    The Chiefs are in the win now mode. And can win the SB.   They can afford to make these kind of splashes.  The Colts are nowhere near that

I wouldn’t say it’s a huge splash. They gave up a fifth round pick for him. Every team should be in win now mode.

Then Ballard can just resign now because he isn't even trying.  He is the perfect guy for AR to learn and get better.  As sure handed as a WR gets and knows how to get open.

 

A WR corp of Kupp, Pittman, Pierce, AD and Downs may be the single best WR corp in football.  And don't mention cap space, the Colts have plenty of it.

 

All for a 2nd round pick?  How many 2nd round picks in the past 8 years are better than Kupp?

 

This is a no brainer if you really want to help AR develop and would correct the mistake for not trading up and taking Brock Bowers this past draft.

Not every team

If the Colts beat the Texans this weekend.    Then we can think about making a splash

Post your memes and GIFs.  I deal in reality.

 

Kupp just showed why he is so valuable with that TD.

 

BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO GET OPEN. 

 

Which is the main thing AR needs out of a WR right now.  Getting open and making the catch each and every time.  Which is what CK does.  Not to mention he gets open fast.  Quickly.  He is not a guy that needs multiple seconds to create space. 

 

I am always astounded by fan forums like this one where fans never want to trade for anything.....all because "we believe in our guys".

 

They either say the guy is too old.  Have to pay him too much.  Or isn't worth what the Colts would have to give up for him.

Seen this a million times.  Meanwhile the Colts haven't won a division title in years.  Let alone a SB.  How is that strategy working out for you?

 

Forget about what CK could do for the Colts in the next 2 years as far as making the playoffs.  How about CK giving AR the chance and opportunity to actually throw to one of the best WRs I have seen since Marvin Harrison?  Wouldn't that help his development?  Or do we want to continue to have him throw under 50% for the next 2 years?

Far from reality. You know, considering there is almost zero chance Cooper Kupp is traded to the Indianapolis Colts. But go on...

 

[coltsblue1844]

Cooper is 31...thats the backside of a WR career...look how fast almost all decline at that age...then look at his contract.

 

if you were still in his 20s sure, but he’s not so I would rather keep the second round pick because we’re going to need as many high picks as we can get if we are pretty well rebuilding now.

[Happy2BeHere]

Just because Kupp can run amazing routes and get open doesn’t mean the QB who tosses those balls make them automatic…I mean with AR they are nowhere near automatic…AR has a long way to go to get the full value out of stellar receivers… with his inaccuracies and lack of knowledge/experience in reading the defense Kupp wouldn’t change much for our offense. IMO.

 

 

again, not the area this team should sacrifice high draft pick for.

Kupp may not be a position of biggest need but he would make the team better, as would have some other WR's  that were traded recently. And that's what a team should do that's serious about winning. 

 

Question is Are the Colts serious about winning???  

Will colts make a deal to get better???

 

We all know that this or any other deal to raise the needle significantly is highly unlikely.
