Another QB team down. DJ is running out of options. Any chance the Colts pull the tag?

Trade: the Raiders are sending QB Geno Smith and a 2026 7th-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for a 2026 6th-round pick, per ESPN sources. Smith returns to the team for which he started his NFL career for in 2013.

Travis played extremely well in limited time last year. Let’s see if he can handle being the starter.

Doubt it. The Colts believe in him and see him a the long term answer at QB. He and Pierce are very good friends. Why poison the well. A long term (3-4 years) deal makes the most sense and pulling the tag doesn't help that and may make it more difficult. I'm assuming Jones isn't going to be stuck on 50 million a year.

Yeah, the two sides need each other at this point as the options for either are limited. And together they’ve shown the possibility of success. Hopefully they can work out fair compensation that doesn’t kill the team to move from him if he reverts to Giants DJ or doesn’t recover from the injury. As hard as Ballard works to maintain flexibility, I at least have some confidence in his ability to do that.

He drops a lot of passes. I would prefer to go with youth at WR.

Do you agree we need another vet to run be the Z. To me its obvious AP is going to be the #1 which if I understand this shit correctly that will make him the X.

Downs will still be the Y. But AP and Pitt both split between X and Y routes

So we will need another legit player there Otherwise they will just key in on AP

Can Dulin be that guy? I don't think Gould is progressing as much as I had hoed. Otherwise Downs could move to the Z

Just ooking at other FA WR's that can maybe be had at a lower price to fill in grooming a rookie to take over. Which I expect to be kind of high priority for the draft

But like Dam mentioned Shane like to run 12 personnel SO maybe another TE?


Just thinking out loud.

The Colts are one of the teams in the Trey Hendrickson sweepstakes, per
@HolderStephen
.

Hendrickson produced back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons with Indianapolis defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.

apparently the Ravens backed out of the Crosby deal

He failed his physical

So glad this fucker is gone.

HE NEVER STFU

New #Packers LB Zaire Franklin:

“This ain’t, honestly, the first time the #Colts tried to get me out the building … So, I’m used to earning my keep. I’m looking forward to going into a new organization, a new locker room and earning my space, earning their respect.”

Makes me think the Ravens will be getting in on Hendrickson now.

If I had to bet, I’d say Hendrickson ends up in Baltimore now.
