Jim Irsay, now (23/08)

[spoonfish]

"@IndySportsNow: MT Here's real story “@PhilRichards6: #Colts talking trade. They're seeking a cb, talks in a holding pattern. http://t.co/OxCGtU9n”"

Probably true, but I don't think anyone knows the real story.

[Boiler_Colt]

The problem with Jim Irsay is that you can't tell the difference between his drunk tweets and his sober tweets.

It's the sober ones I wouldn't believe.

He doesn't drink anymore.

[buccolts]

He doesn't drink anymore.

He doesn't drink any less either.

jk

[spoonfish]

He doesn't drink anymore.

...he's tired of waking up on the floor. no thank you please it only makes him sneeze.

This post is right up Irsay's alley.

[Jackie Daytona]

Irsay's personal habits are none of our business really..... and I like the guy as our owner, he is more enjoyable than any other sports owner from my perspective ; )

[Jules]

So whats going on?

[Coltsfanforlife12]

No one really knows at this point.

[Coffeedrinker]

I was posting the Polish spelling of Bratzke my friend.. Bratski.. Ha!!

Now that was funny

[The Fish]

So whats going on?

just havin a few...but not too many.. I think

[buccolts]

So whats going on?

Not much. What's going on with you?

[Dtman513]

We haven't made major trades in a decade.

It's time for the team to make moves to improve and not look like a bunch of chumps after what happened last season.

I like the new attitude, and the way this ball club is shaping itself for the future.

[Jules]

Not much. What's going on with you?

Just got back home and saw on my phone that Irsay tweeted that a potential starter might be coming here. Heard high draft pick and possibly big bucks.

And I must say I AM VERY VERY INTERESTED.

MJD? *shrugs* CB? Wallace?

[schwamm]

Just a question... I'm not on twitter and don't know how it works... So is there more to this twitter thing Irsay sent out? Because I'm seeing high pick for veteran, but no further indication of which team Is giving up what part of the deal... Is it possible the Colts are giving up the player? Or maybe I'm just Not twitterpated enough with that particular technology.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Rumor now is that it isn't. High round pick for a starter.

If a high round pick means a 1st or 2nd rounder, he better be more than a starter. He needs to be a all-pro.

Totally agree. Just letting others know what I'm seeing on Twitter.

[Coltsfanforlife12]

I'm going to guess this thing is either going to fall apart or get done tonight. The fact that Irsay has been absent from twitter for several hours tells me he's in some pretty intense negotiations.

[CS Colts Fan]

just checked on the Ravens game and Cary Williams has been playing.. his stats are 1-0( T A )

[dw49]

Which could well mean it is Cary Williams.

This gets my vote as there are rumors that this is the target. Makes perfect sense..

1) Huge need

2) Played for coach Pagano last year.

3) Irsay mentioned opening the checkbook. Williams just turned down a 15 million $ extension. So he won't come cheap.

Good investigation skills.

[Albaby]

Wallace seems like a logical choice. Considering what happened to Collie.

[Gavin]

Dont think anything will happen tonight, maybe tomorrow but I do wonder if Jims tweet cost us to be honest now, Oh well came away no worse for the wear so all is good, havent lost any more draft picks

[Coltsfanforlife12]

Wallace seems like a logical choice. Considering what happened to Collie.

Already been said to not be happening. Although the same thing happened with the Dwight Howard trade so who knows.

[Jules]

“@PhilRichards6: #Colts trade might not come off but don't buy Mort report. Irsay isn't blowing smoke. A significant trade is being negotiated.”

[needanoline63]

A vet starter? Should be a cornerback,offensive linemen(I hope so), or running back. I wish it was mjd, I'd be excited to see either Cary Williams, Rodgers-chromatie, or asamougha, or Evan Mathis.

[FireJimCaldwell]

If it is the Ravens, then they could be waiting for their game tonight to be over, so that the Colts know he made it through healthy... Of course signing the deal this afternoon would have prevented that said player from playing in it.

Who knows at this point.

[Captain Americolt]

I guess i'll break the news guys.. I've been in contact with Jim and Ryan. Their bringing me to Indy to play CB, LB, and OG at the same time..

Just Kidding.

Just trying to loosen things up... No one really knows whats going on anymore..

[Mr.Debonair]

Really hope they don't give up a high pick for the Williams guy

[Jackie Daytona]

if it was a high pick for williams, they would have pulled him out of the game when/if we made a strong offer.......

[Jules]

No idea who this guy is but it's from tonight

Pat White ‏@ASportsGuru

Colts likely in trade discussions to acquire Mike Wallace.

[NewColtsFan]

Or.....

It could mean negotiations have stalled out and both sides decided to take a break for at least a night or more....

This happens more than most here might realize....

Hey, just sayin....

[Captain Americolt]

He later tweeted those rumors are false, stated by Jason La Canfora

booooo

Then again who do we believe?

This is from rotoworld

Report: Colts pursuing a veteran cornerback

A reliable source tells the Indianapolis Star the player the Colts are pursuing in trade talks is a cornerback.

Owner Jim Irsay's comments suggest the trade target is a veteran looking for a new contract. Cary Williams reportedly turned down a three-year, $15 million offer before training camp, and the Ravens have depth in 2011 first-rounder Jimmy Smith. CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora confirms the Colts have had no talks with the Cowboys about Mike Jenkins' (shoulder) availability. Rotoworld's Evan Silva suspects Dolphins CB Vontae Davis could be the Colts' target, as Williams is playing Thursday night. If he was involved in talks, the Ravens would likely hold him out.

oops..

umm I meant that umm negotioations with the Mike Wallace deal are getting closer...

[Coltsfanforlife12]

There is a lot of talk that it is Williams because from everything i'm seeing around the internet and on twitter talks are in a holding pattern. which could be because the Ravens until very recently were playing a game.

[HGRekks]

We haven't made major trades in a decade.

McFarland was acquired for a 2nd round pick in 2006.

If it is Williams i'd be disappointed.. Not the Vet/Give up high pick for I would want IMO.. Plus he's turning 28 this year... He's not gonna be in his prime that long

[Gavin]

Speaking of that Baltimore game they really demolished Jacksonville 48-17

[Boiler_Colt]

If nothing comes of this it will be a bigger disappointment than the Star Wars prequels. Well, maybe not but I'll still be ticked.

[Jules]

Rumor is we get their entire starting D at midnight.
