Okay... all the talk is what we could get... but what will we have to give up?

Can we really lose anymore of our beloved Colts.... I am having enough trouble putting the numbers with the names.

from what i have read it involves a high draft pick, but like everyone else i dont know if its us giving up the high draft pick or someone else giving up a high draft pick. there has been talk about possibly freeney being traded so who knows

Dwight Freeney aint going anywhere.

I wouldnt necesarilly say that. freeney is due 14 million this year, if the colts could get something decent for him like a 3rd round pick then they prob will trade him away.its better to trade him and get something for him then not trade him and lose him in FA. IMHO

I'd be ok with a 2nd or 3rd given up for Vontae he would greatly improve the play of the secondary. He can cover and is the type of corner you'd want in run support. he would be better than any corner we could pick up in the draft next yr with a 2nd or 3rd pick.

WELL FROM WHAT I SAW IT SAID MIKE WALLACE OR MJD OR DAVIS, I LIKE ALL OF THEM BUT I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO GET WALLACE OR MJD

Why would they EVER take on either of those contracts?....We have very servicable backs. Give D Brown a chance (he's earned it), and from what I've seen so far Ballard has A LOT of potential. As for WRs....we are already going to be cutting some pretty good WRs as it is. Why take on that monster contract when we haven't even seen what Avery can do as well as the fact that we can get a speedster in the draft next year for next to nothing. And this doesn't even take into consideration what we would have to give up to get either of these guys.

Or to the point, why give up a high pick now when we can just sign the guy outright next year for nothing since he's a free agent and the Steelers aren't going to give both him and Brown a big contract.

He's 24 or 25.....

...This would be a trade for the present AND the future....and, afre thuis season...we have cap space to pay him, right/

Just cash and a anything byut a No. 1) draft choice....?? Really? Do it.

..... it would certainly increase our chances of making the playoffs THIS SEASON...

CRHughes,

I have liked your post, but really... we need a CB... they tried to draft 2 this year and was beat out... we know it is our big deficiency... we have tried alot of trials with CB's .. they are not impressed.. even with multiple trades.. I was looking forward to seeing Chism, but he hasn't performed... we have a CB head coach and if he believes we do not have what we need then go get it... I would personally prefer nothing more than a 3rd pick. ... BUT I am 100 % behind the NEW FO & Coaches

      Don’t worry. This is pretty common for the 2024 Reds. They always win the first game of the series in convincing fashion, and then the bats get cold for the rest of the other 2-3 games.

      I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….
