From what I saw, there's no guaranteed money after this season, so he can leave or stay, and if he wants to be on a contender, he can restructure.
I also read he asked for a trade, which set this all in motion.
Or it could be they were already looking to unload Moss on anyone that would take him and they think Hines is a better fit for our offense anyway.
Cook averaged 7 ypc and his catch went for 41. I don't know what else you can expect from a guy on 5 carries and 1 pass target.
Why would the Colts trade their starting RB for a dude we were just hoping someone would take off our hands?
It would take more than a 6th round conditional pick and Moss to get Taylor, and besides that, Beane said he got Hines for how he can fit in our offense and play in the slot, return kicks, etc.
Beane: "I can give you a conditional 6th Rounder and Zack Moss."
Ballard: "If it's OK with you, we'll just take the draft pick, thanks."
LOL
In all seriousness though, there's colts fans on their board who actually like this trade and say Moss is better than Hines.
Sounds like a coping mechanism to me, but hey...whatever.
They only gave up a 6th rounder and a dude people here would've given away for a song. It cost us next to nothing to bring him here and given our offensive playstyle, fits right in.
RB depth an issue? Nonsense. We have so much depth at RB we have the great Zack Moss that hardly gets any playing time, but people think every other team in the league wants to trade for him. 😄
BREAKING: Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane stuns the NFL World again by trading half of his BLT with Head Coach Sean McDermott for a couple homemade chocolate chip cookies minutes before the trade deadline hits.
Details are still coming, but this is clearly the biggest headline of the day.
Well, yeah...makes sense for Minn, not so much for Detroit to trade him to a division rival, lol.
Detroit apparently ready to tank the rest of the season.
CMC went for a second, third, and fourth-round picks in the 2023, as well as a fifth-round pick in 2024. Beane values his picks way too much to give that many up.
