NFL Trade Rumors: Should The Colts Trade For Richard Seymour?

If they can get him at a decent deal sure why not get him on lease for a year.

 I dont see how, the Raiders would be able to demand more then 4th rounder.

Seymour is a good run defender, but he’s not the reason the Patriots got gouged in the playoffs.

If the Colts really want Seymour for a 10-14 game rental, then go for it. If they want a game-changing interior lineman for several years, I don’t think Seymour is the right choice at this point.

Raiders won’t give him up easily either, despite Schefter’s report. It would take at least a 2nd AND 3rd to get him. Al Davis can be stubborn.

He would add an interior presence in the pass rush

It depends on the asking price. Oakland had to give up a 1st rounder to get him. I’m thinking they might want a 2nd rounder at least. I wouldn’t be opposed to giving up, at max, a 4th. There were some other deals I was pondering. Imagine if we could swing a deal for a Power back. For example, send Anthony Gonzalez and a 3rd round pick to the Rams for Steven Jackson. Or perhaps trade for McNeil from San Diego. The problem is it’s unlikely that another AFC rival would be willing to improve our team by trading a key player to us. We might be able to swing a deal out of the NFC. I still love Dockett from Arizona. He’d be a guy we could really use. Haynesworth’s contract is far too ridiculous to take on.

Seymour is a proven line player, with quality talent. Sure, he’s a little older, but so was Booger. If we could get Seymour this year for say, a 3rd round pick, or maybe a 6th rounder and say…Gonzo… I’d even give thoughts to it. As many of us have stated thus far, it would all boil down to what the Raiders would want in return.

And Seymour would be a perfect fit for our defense, as he has both the body and speed to play within it. The guy is essentially a DE in a DT body. I’d love to see him in Colts blue, especially before the Colts played the Patriots….

The reality: Not in a bazillion years would Polian do it.

Don’t see it happening, though.

He has a little Moss in him and by that I mean he could really destroy some offensive lineman when he wants too, but then there are times when he seems to be going through the motions.

And then of course there’s always the disdain I hold for him when he faked an injury against the Colts in a playoff game (don’t recall which one, either 2003 or 2004).

I think Nnamdi Asomugha would be a sweet pickup. Coyer could do all kinds of crap with two corners who could play man coverage (Powers being the other).

Shaun Rodgers and according to ESPN’s AFC North blogger James Walker, he has been hearing talk that involves moving Rodgers before the trade deadline. Walker believes the Browns will be looking to bring in a CB to boost their secondary, or, a WR to help their struggling, beat up offense.

Rodgers’ production isn’t showing in the stat sheets, so to most he may not be appealing. Walker also points out that the Browns haven’t been putting him on the field much despite D-line injuries.

All that aside, Rodgers is one of the nastiest interior linemen in the league. I’m inclined to believe it’s hard to stay motivated playing for the Lions and Browns most of his career, and if Rodgers were to get a chance with a contender like the Colts, oh my….

Nothing against Seymour, I’ve just always liked Rodgers more. Who wouldn’t want a 350-pounder in the middle?!

fourth round pick. I think it would be a risk because of his willingness to take plays off. I think he could have some value, but he’s not a solution in the long term.

But Marcus Stroud would be way better. Bills are rebuilding and are in need of draft picks. Another pipe dream but I’m just throwing ideas out there. We all know Polian likely will not trade for a marquee player. He may pick someone up we know little about. i.e. Justin Tryon.
