Passing offense was NOT the problem with our team last year.

I......don't have words if this was a serious report.

A touch more than that, apparently:

Agent source on Alshon Jeffrey: Asking price would be abt $14.5M year average bc he made that in 2016 on the franchise tag. *Asking* price


I have no words.

THE FUCK BALLARD?

This would be a great move I could get behind......in my Madden franchise

@JasonColeBR
It appears the choice for G Kevin Zeitler is between #Saints, #Browns. #Jaguars appear to be out now.

All of that's possible, but I will say I'm less confident than I thought I'd be heading into 4 pm.

it probable that the media is just linking the colts to almost anything since we need a lot of help, especially any OL or LB. The WR rumor is a bit confusing though, hope that one isnt true.

we didnt hear anything about doyle or allen until it happened.

Bullshit. We're not signing Jeffrey.

[sherck]

If we sign Jeffery (puke), then my guess is that Ballard would be trying to trade Moncrief for a draft pick since they are similar "big" body receivers.

Moncrief has 126 catches for 1,484 yards and 16 TD with 60% catch rate

Dorsett has 51 catches for 753 yards and 3 TD with 51.5% catch rate.

Dorsett would gain, at best, a 6th or 7th round draft pick.

Moncrief would do better than that....but not much better. 4th at best like Allen would be my bet.

This rumor makes zero sense.

He's not even that good. He's missed something like 20 games in 5 years. Two good-great seasons, two ok, and a forgettable rookie year. I'd rather see Moncrief develop. Luck does not need another high-priced WR, he already has one that is much better than Jeffrey.

I thought about it for a few minutes..... 1st thing the Colts have to do is win the division. With the Texans and their number one D we have to be able to score. Jags D looks to be getting better again we need to score. I could see moving Dorset and keeping TY Moncreif and Alshon as a way to do that and Doyle

So the next big hole is RG/RT I think he needs to address that in FA

I just dont see him wanting to spend big on the CB or Rush in FA, when he can do that through the draft.

While I don't see it as a huge need, I can see that he see's more positions in need of upgrade to make this team better.

Either that or we need to take a real look that Irsay may really have his hand in this

I don't know Im trying to make sense of it too just thinking outloud
