What IF 2018

September 1st Khalil Mack, Martavis Bryant and 2020 third round is traded to the Colts

for

Colts 2019 1st, Jets 2nd and 2020 1st

Khalil Mack signs 6 years for 141 million

This move is met with hesitation from some fans still reeling from the Trent Richardson trade.

Martavis Bryant misses the 1st game as he appeals his suppension. The Colts do not cut him but says his situation will be monitored closely. He plays week 2 through 10 before he is injured. We never sign Inman though
