Might the Colts call TT about a trade?

[Packgator]

Colts may be finding themselves very thin on (interior) D-line. Any trade possibilities there? Could the Packers be a possible trade partner?

From PFT......

""On the same day that the Colts terminated the contract of free-agent bust Corey Simon, the guy whom the Colts acquired last season to take his place was undergoing an MRI.

And before word of the Booger McFarland MRI broke, an anonymous tipster advised us that the injury is serious, and likely season-ending.

Though we have not yet corroborated this tip, and are not officially reporting that McFarland is out for the year, we can understand why the Colts aren't announcing the severity of the injury, if it indeed is severe. With an even greater need in the interior of a defensive line that was getting shredding against the run before it somehow picked it up in the playoffs, the Colts would likely like to finagle a trade with a team that doesn't realize the urgency that the team might now be facing, because that would drive the price tag north.""

Trade

Here ya go, Harrell or Williams straight up for Reggie Wayne.

That's the best pipe dream ever.....

Packers are sitting pretty good at interior D-line. Williams contract is up following this season. If he is going to leave via free agency TT may want to get something for him while he can. If the Colts are desperate (and its just a rumor so far) they may be willing to pay a good price.

Won't be R. Wayne.......but I wonder what TT would have to get in return for Williams in order to make a deal?

Trade Harrell, the guy you just drafted #1?????????????????
Williams, maybe - if you really got something helpful in return.
If you had Wayne, who do you sit : Driver? Jennings?
Just don't see this, either.

You rotate Jennings in and you use Jennings as a 3rd reciever. I'm sure he'd see the field quite a bit.

But they aren't gonna trade Harrell as you mentioned.

[The Shadow]

Then how do you find out if Jones is as good as he seems to be showing?

Maybe it's time for old Cletidus Hunt to wear the horseshoe...

When one of the top 3 go down, as always seems to happen in football.

If TT could trade Harrel or Williams for Reggie Wayne wouldn't TT be a wrong to not make that move Shadow?

Reggie Wayne is a solid WR.A top ten WR in the NFL. We need such a player on our offense.

If we could deal either Williams or Harrell for R. Wayne that's a no brainer.

With DD and Reggie Wayne at #1 and #2 WR. Why would you be concerned if Greg Jennings is bumped to #3 WR? It's a win-win.

Best case scenario for us, if it was possible.

Trade Justin Harrell for Wayne (if that was acceptable to the Colts) and hang onto the proven DT. . .Williams. Then extend Williams.

We have been developing. . .Williams and he's very decent at DT.

We should be so lucky.

Always go with what you know. We have no idea what Harrell will bring us.

That's not the case with Reggie Wayne who would combine with DD to give us a huge upgrade.

In reality. I just don't see the Colts making that sacrifice.

I'm not sure if the Colts would trade Reggie Wayne for any player on our defense, it's just a pipe dream (if we had a player who was top ten in the league at an impact position, would you really give him up for unproven commodities?). If we traded a DT, we'd probably get draft picks for it (which is how most of these things work) and it doesn't make sense to give up Harrell for draft picks. You'd have to get good draft picks to make giving up Williams worth it.

If they call, see if they're interested in Cole or Jolly, and see what they'd give up for Williams. Then again, they're probably just going to wait until they see who a team deepish at DT cuts a decent player. It's not like playing DT requires an intimate knowledge of the playbook that they can't wait a few weeks to add a player.

We will never see Reggie Wayne in a Green Bay Packer jersey this season.

We will never see Reggie Wayne in a Green Bay Packer jersey this season.

Which is less to do with anything about our GM and more to do with the fact that if the Colts called up and said "Hey Ted, we'd like to trade for one of your DTs" and Ted said "We want Reggie Wayne" then the Colts would hang up immediately and call someone else.

Certainly I agree.

TT should (I believe) be all over getting Reggie Wayne in Green Bay for either Harrell or Williams, if the Colts were to make that offer.

I agree that scenario isn't realistic.

The only reason we discuss it is because it's up as a thread thus I'm guessing it deserves some discussion in the context of value (Reggie Wayne) to us for Harrell or Williams.

It simply becomes an exercise.

In reality the scenario doesn't shake.

we aren't looking that deep at DT right now

if harrell ends up being a non factor this year that leaves us with 2 starters (pickett and williams) and 1 solid backup in cole
