Vontae Davis

[oldunclemark]

I wouldn't worry to much about it. We may trade for Davis, but I would bet money were not trading Fleener or Hilton.

I think we have some veterans on defense and a couple of veteran coaches who could control V. Davis...and inspire him if we win a few games....... and I think (it sounds like) he simply does not want to play for Miami

..but there is a little risk..and i would not give up any player for him.

Only money and a pick

Does this trade make Powers one of the better #2 cbs in the game?

Thank you, Ive been a longtime viewer, first time contributor

And yes I do agree that Powers job becomes much easier. Hes not really a #1 in my opinion

Glad to see new contributors.....and if Powers is healthy....I feel we will like what we see....especially if/when Grigs pulls off the/a trade!! We have a quota on likes and first posts, but we will never have a quota on fans!!!

If the Dolphins traded away Brandon Marshall for a couple of 3rds, maybe it wouldn't take too much to get Vontae. But he's good..like really good.

[colts52761]

so it seems to me the candidates are:

1. vontae davis

2. joe haden

3. mike wallace

4. oline- jake long?

unless irsay just tweeted something to get attention and there was very little chance of a trade happening.

[Carlos Danger]

Davis would be a massive upgrade to our secondary. He seems like a perfect fit and he's still young. I would jump at the chance to get him for a 3rd... I'd still want him for a 2nd come to think of it... although I am probably less concerned about the off the field issues as many of you seem to be. I wonder what he will ultimately cost.....

[The Peytonator]

So I've been out of the loop the last couple days. The Dolphins only have one viable edge rusher, Cameron Wake, anyone think it might be Freeney and something like a 3rd for Davis? This would basically be killing two birds with one stone; getting rid of Freeney's massive contract and bringing in a legit #1 CB. I have the utmost confidence in Hughes ability to get to the QB, as long as he is given his fair shake. Obviously Miami has soured a little bit on Davis for whatever reason.....trade makes sense to me.

I could see that... :hmm: Hughes scares me a little, but so does Freeney at this point and the difference between their contracts is enormous.

[waka waka]

Davis seems logical given his current status with the team...why is someone throwing Hayden and Wallace into this mix when it's been stated that grigs isnt inquiring about trading for them?

Antonio Cromartie was a former 1st rounder, he was traded to the Jets for a 3rd round draft pick. Cromartie was on his rookie contract just like Vontae Davis, and was drafted in the second half of the first round, if I remember right, much like Vontae Davis.

That is our frame of reference, a 3rd round pick at worst, that it will cost the Colts. Anything more, Grigson needs to shut it down, seriously.

If they want Freeney, then we give up just a 5th rounder and Freeney for Vontae Davis and call it a deal.

[coltsguy510]

If not Davis, than I hope we get either Joe Haden or Jake Long. Long's deal expires next season though.

Dont have a 5th I dont think, I'd trade Freeney and a 4th for Vontae and a 5th (which would give us our 5th back) while unloading a huge contract but dont think thats possible unless Freeney restructures or

2.Trade Freeney, a 4th and Justice for Vontae and another 3rd

[IndyD4U]

I don't know of anyone willing to pick up Freeney's contract...I'm hoping Davis is our guy.

[Ryan Pelley]

I hate the 1940s mentality. "I don't want some darned parasite on my team!"

[RomanianColtsFan]

I like Vontae because he knows how to intercept Tom Brady

You can trade a pick you don't have today, as long as you have it by the time the draft comes around. So, if the colts trade a #5 that they don't have (they traded it in the Hilton deal) then, they've got to come up with one by the 2013 draft.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Unless something completely unexpected happens, there is no reason for the Dolphins to trade Long and the Browns to trade Haden. What's their motivation? Long will either get a new long term deal, or, they'll put a franchise tag on him. He's not going anywhere. Same with Haden, and I don't think his contract is even up. Why would Cleveland trade a premier corner?

In all likelihood, it's not happening.

Wish it was..... but can't see a reason for the Dolphins/Browns to do it.
