I didn't see a thread on the homepage...yet. So I thought I would put up a post so to discuss the trade deadline.
Do you think the Colts will make a trade?
Who would you like to see the Colts trade for?
What would you give up for that player?
I will throw out a couple:
*Colts trade 2015 6th round pick to TB for FS Dashon Goldson
- Goldson has a base salary of $6M this year, so the Colts would have to take on ~$3.4M for the rest of the season. But Goldson is playing on a terrible team and might be a great change of scenery candidate.
*Colts trade a 2015 5th round pick to TEN for FS Michael Griffin
- Griffin, like Goldson, has base salary of ~$6M, but is signed through 2016. What makes this tricky is that TEN is in the same division as IND and inter-division trades are rare because the trading team will want more compensation for trading to the rival they place twice per season.
I am not sure if either of these trades are even on Grigs' radar or possible at this compensation level, but I believe both players would be significant upgrades over Adams, especially Griffin, who has the pedigree of a ballhawking FS. And these trades would cost very little in compensation and salary, as both players could be cut after this year. For the price of a day 3 pick, the Colts would finally have a legitimate FS.
I am sure there are other trade rumors or proposals out there. Please feel free to discuss below.
