What’s likely happening is the Colts are in rebuilding mode. Which is sad because they never seemed to have actually got to winning mode under Ballard.

Yep. Remember when Jim gave Andrew $24M right after he screwed us and set us back ten years? Nice guy. 2023 will be year five of the ten years. Halfway done.

Gilmore’s more than 30 years old, and he’s under contract for another year. What’s the sense of keeping him around for what will likely be a lost season, only to lose him to free agency? Trade hi, get a draft pick, and use the cap space you carve out to sign a younger piece who’ll still be in his prime in 2 years.

I don't think it is a conditional pick.

From what I saw, it is for one of the Cowboy's comp picks in this year's draft.

The Cowboys received 2 fifth round comp picks this year and apparently the Colts are receiving the later of the two - Pick 176 - according to some of the Dallas beat reporters:

No conditions. Dallas was awarded 2 conditional picks in the 5th round. We get one of those.

Clearly the Colts are giving up on 2023.

Rebuild is apparently on. We won't win many games with a rookie QB no matter who it is. Levis might be a train wreck, we'll see. I think several of the older players will split. Kenny Moore posted a "walking" image on his twitter. At least we'll be able to watch the youth develop.

Yeah, Kenny was supposedly a high character guy. Now he can go fuck himself.

I think you are correct about rebuilding. I also know that I don't want dipshit Ballard anywhere near the rebuild. Give him this year then bye.

Might as well shop Buckner while we're at it. He could bring a nice pick back.
