I DO NOT want Foles........ But if you think he isn't better than Huntley, Eason or Ehlinger you are on serious drugs or something.

This would be beyond cruel to do to Wentz.....

If we don't make a trade, and later release him, Do we forfeit the possibility of a comp pick?

I didnt think trades factored into comp pics. I always thought it was based on FA losses/signings and possibly releases. But I admit I dont really know and am too lazy to look it up.

Yes, players that are released by their team do not factor into the comp pick formula.

That is what I thought. Thanks.

The Colts made Marlon available for Q&A's during this week's player press conferences - link to video below.

Marlon stated that the Colts gave him the heads up prior to last Sunday that he may be a healthy scratch at some point this season.

He stated that the conversation with the team about a trade came after Sunday's game.

Marlon had a fair amount of interest from other teams in free agency - although after the injury no one was automatically pencilling him in as a RB1. I think he came back to the Colts for the familiarity - familiarity with the playbook, familiarity with the doctors / trainers, etc. I think he knew that his reps would be limited this season but was hoping to flash enough from time to time behind a dominant offensive line so that he could earn his next contract.

I heard that Taylor is now a "game time decision" with a knee injury. I'd say unbelievable, but it's the Colts.

At least four teams may be interested in Mack:

I'm told the Chiefs, Panthers, 49ers & Saints are among teams that made preliminary inquiries for Colts RB Marlon Mack over the last few weeks.

Any team potentially dealing for Mack would acquire his 2021 base salary of $1M fully guaranteed (prorated), per league source.
