Seems like the Colts will try just about anybody these days.

Who goes to Atlanta? Did I miss something?

Not that Ryan's all-world at this point, but is the NFC going to be able to field teams this year?

Baker Mayfield

"Are you on your way to the Quarterback graveyard? Want one more shot at playing in the NFL? You need Chris the Colt! Just one quick call from your agent to Chris the Colt and he will spring into action with a 1 year deal for your broken down body to throw 5 yard passes and hand the ball off to the best back in football." 

 

This advertisment is paid for by Chris Ballard, General Manager, Indianapolis Colts.

Not only teams, but also insurance commercials.

Given the alternatives, I think this is a pretty good move for the Colts in the short term

Brady gets a bye into the Super Bowl!

 

LOL

 

NFC is such a joke

Indianapolis where washed up franchise QBs go to die.

Their other options were Jimmy G or Baker. Although I think Jimmy G was the better option Matty Ice is not a bad way for them to go.

I would assume with the picks from this - they (along with Seattle and NO) will be reaching out to Cleveland for Baker.

 

I would assume Cleveland wanted to avoid an AFC trade as they are looking at Wildcard seating - so swing Ryan to Indy and use the picks for Mayfield.  
 

That would be my thought.  Get Younger and better and maybe make out with an extra pick.

Why would anyone trade picks for Mayfield?

[Charles Romes]

When we played the Falcons this last year I was like “Wow the difference between our Josh and this other supposed franchise quarterback is stark.” Reich should be able to get them to 10-11 wins with Ryan nonetheless. He’s better that what they’ve had.

Lol Baker going to Atlanta to watch his career fizzle out and die. Maybe afterwards he can move back to Oklahoma and open a pizza shop and do local car commercials or something

[Mr. WEO]

Wow, that Colts organization is a mess with the QB.

 

Luck never looked back---with good reason.

Same reason Philly traded for Sam Bradford. Baker is a competent qb and everyone thinks they can rehab a top pick. What was the name of the long neck qb the Bears signed to a huge deal like 10 years ago?  Teams are dumb and desperate a dangerous combo

Largest dead cap hit in NFL history.  Just 40M...
