Ballard throws fuel on the Lamar Jackson-to-Colts fire
Per Keefer:
"Anytime a special player is available – which he is — you gotta do the work. I'm not gonna get into deep discussions on where it's at, what we're doing or what we might do, but he's a really special player. You never know how any of this will work out." — Chris Ballard on Lamar Source: https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1640446081438990337 |

I was just coming here to post this. I’d be intrigued by having him but not for a long term fully guaranteed contract. And not for the 4th pick.
If they’re gonna do it, wait until after the draft. Those comments sure make it seem like they’re interested. |

Do it and you'll have Lemar and a bunch of JAGs. No money left for good players. Just rookies from drafts. Sounds great.

I'll admit I'm a bit concerned about this type of contract given Lamar's recent injury history, however, not to mention the trouble some QBs have recently had translating their skills to a new team. I will say that while it's true $50 million is a huge chunk of the cap, it still leaves the team with nearly $175M to work with. No question it would require some belt-tightening though. |

You have to laugh. Not at this guy in particular but in general, what's the point? A thousand-word article about an interview that basically tells us the Colts didn't trade up to #1 (an established fact). And what will they do now?... Literally any of the available options.
It's like trying to listen to that Steichen interview... Q: "Are you trading up?" A: "I'm not telling you." Q: "Do you need to move up to get a QB?" A: "I'm not telling you." Q: "Which QB do you want?" A: "I'm not telling you." Q: "Are you drafting a QB at #4?" A: "I'm not telling you." Q: "Are you trading for Jackson?" A: "I'm not telling you." These corporate, canned interviews are worthless. |

Looking at Jacksons stats, he has missed games the last two years and his turnovers and sacks are high. For him to make it through a 17 games, he must change his game. We saw what happened to Luck as he kept taking big shots. I was at a home game where he ran for positive yardage and got out of bounds. Colts fans gave him a big ovation and many of us were standing. You cant give Jackson a full guaranteed contract when hasnt played a complete season in 2 years and his qbr is weak. He also takes a lot of sacks |

Colts owner Jim Irsay, asked tonight about fully-guaranteed contracts and the NFL:
"As an owner I do not believe in fully-guaranteed contracts. I think that a percentage is one thing, but from what I’ve seen from the NBA and baseball, I don’t see it as a positive competitively." https://mobile.twitter.com/zkeefer/s...48002657087488 |
