If you're paying the premium, get the best, going cheap at the most important position and spending on everything else doesn't make sense.

Totally agree I wanted to break the bank for Trent Williams last year

Signed CB Tony Brown

per the .com: Indianapolis –The Indianapolis Colts today signed free agent cornerback Tony Brown.

Brown, 6-0, 199 pounds, has played in 33 career games (four starts) in his time with the Las Vegas Raiders (2021), Cincinnati Bengals (2020-21), Green Bay Packers (2018-19) and Los Angeles Chargers (2018) and has totaled 50 tackles (39 solo), 3.0 tackles for loss, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles and eight special teams stops. In 2021, he spent time on the practice squads of the Raiders and Bengals.

Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to Cleveland for basically nothing. 5th & 6th round pick.

And a $20m per year cap hit. Even with that, I would have wanted him if we had a shot at him.

Cooper and Pittman on the outside with a 2nd round rookie playing this year in the slot and a free agent TE along with MAC and Granson? Yeah, that dog hunts.

However, my guess is that Ballard, if he was in the hunt, is not willing to commit big money to pass catchers until he knows who his pass thrower is going to be.

And if Cooper had a say in the matter, why would he pick to come to Indy without knowing who would throw to him versus going somewhere he knew at least had a QB?

Perhaps IND is targeting Davente Adams (whom GB cannot now pay) who will not cost any draft picks.

I think you could have stopped right there. Unless Irsay has dictated it, Ballard isn’t going to invest a lot at WR. I don’t agree, but he’s repeatedly told us such.

The Green Bay Packers used the franchise tag on wide receiver Davante Adams :cool:

The Browns got Dallas' 6th round pick in return as well, so the trade is even better for them, and none of Cooper's salary go fwd is guaranteed so it should be pretty easy to rework his deal.

Would've been nice for the Colts to have gotten in on this, but as you pointed out it's probably not worth pursuing until we get the QB situation figured out.
