Any possibility that Jameis Winston could be a Colts target? I know he was a turnover machine in Tampa, but Reich has a reputation for fixing talented QBs, Winston's talent is undeniable, he's only 27, and likely won't cost starter money. The answer is likely no, but it's an intriguing possibility.

Not sure how feel about this but there is no way they move up to get Fields anyway.

Stop living in fantasy land and join the real world. This is about playing football and getting paid and if you’re going to risk your ass you might as well get paid well

If he's able to do what he does on the field in that kind of shape, getting him in an NFL strength and conditioning program will be even more advantageous than I'd originally thought. Obviously workout bonuses should be negotiated into the contract.

There was a rumor that Ballard contacted the Packers about Jordan Love's availability. Either the rumor was wrong, or Ballard doesn't agree with you that he sucks.

So Goff and Stafford are settled.

Now that leaves the draft, FA and the QB's affected.

Jets - Darnold
Dolphins - Tua
Falcons - Matt Ryan
Eagles - Wentz and Hurts

Then you got Dak, Jacoby, Winston

And draft picks Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, Lance, Jones, Trask

I don't think drafting a rookie is in the cards because Ballard seems more in a "win now" type of situation than waiting 1 or 3 years for a rookie QB to develop.

My guess is that we are going to get one of the long-term starters veterans that will not cost us draft picks to get: Cam Newton, Mitch Trubisky, Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.

I don't know that Bridgewater is any better than those guys and would cost us a draft pick to get.

A 1 or 2 season bridge to either Easton being ready to be the starter or the Colts are in a better position to find a longer term solution.

Or...a new system actually works for the underappreciated veteran.

Of course, if Dak Prescott actually makes it to free agency.....but he will not.

A) ) I was hoping that Rodgers and the Packers were able to repeat what Manning and the 2006 Colts did 14 years ago.

B) ) Tough break for the Packers on the pass interference call late in the 4th quarter which gave the Buccaneers a 1st down, instead of them being forced to punt.

C) ) The Packers getting burned for a 49-yard TD pass when the Buccaneers had no timeouts and only 8 seconds left to play in the 1st half was inexcusable ...... it was on par with the 2012 Denver Broncos coughing up the game-tying, 70-yard TD pass when the Ravens had no timeouts and only 30 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter of that season's divisional playoff game. That gaffe cost Peyton Manning a chance to beat Brady in yet another conference championship game (Manning's teams were 3-1 in such games against Brady's teams when Manning retired), and what very well may have been a 3rd Super Bowl ring (in addition to the one that he won 6 years earlier, and the 2nd one that he won 3 years later.)

The Buccaneers had no timeouts, and there were only 8 seconds left to play in the half. The Packers should have had 9 defensive backs on the field, and they literally should have positioned 6 of them on the sidelines, 5 yards apart from the line of scrimmage at the 44 yardline, the 39 yardline, and the 34 yardline ........ that would have prevented a quick, sideline pass which (if successful) would have given the Buccaneers a chance for a closer field goal attempt. The remaining 3 defensive backs should have been positioned in the middle of the field at the 5 yardline. They could have given Brady and the Buccaneers ANYTHING THAT THEY WANTED in the middle of the field, because they had 0 timeouts and there were only 8 seconds left to play. That means that they would have had no chance to spike the ball after being tackled in-bounds. It would not have mattered if Brady had hit a receiver 10 yards downfield, 20 yards downfield, or even 30 yards downfield, because in all 3 of those situations the receiver would have been tackled in-bounds to end the half.
