A lot of chat happening about trading Brissett coming up on the last year of his contract.
What do you think we could get for him?

Keep in mind he was a 3rd round draft pick for the pats. The Colts traded a young and improving 2nd year WR who was a 1st round draft pick to get him. IIRC Dorsett has two TDs for the Pats so far in the playoffs this year.

I'd take a 2nd round pick
or
A quality WR, CB, DL, OL, or RB
or
A decent but less talented backup QB + 3rd round pick

Wow. You think very highly of Brissett. I don’t see why any team would offer anything you suggested.

at worst, he's a very good back up. to some, he's got potential to start on the right team with the right system. his QBR was better than Trubisky's lol. And not to far from Flacco, Manning, Cutler, and Dalton.... Threw for 3000+ yards in 2017 behind a very bad line.

not trying to say he should be a starter, but he's a good back up. and good back ups are in style especially for those teams with dual threat QBs. and IIRC, there was a lot of interest in him to begin this year.

Lynch's performance has really dropped off the last couple of years. Any idea why?

Couldn't stay healthy for a couple years. His production may have been "down" last year, but he was still a valuable rotation pass rusher.

Just signed Justin Houston.

Loved the move. Fills a huge need, and the terms are a lot better than I expected. 24M over two years. Doesn't break the bank, and not locked in long term.

After two consecutive 9 sack seasons, I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach double digits again after playing right behind Jones in KC.

Hope DT and WR are their two first picks.

not a fan at all with the Fuchess pick up, but love Houston.

I wasn't either. There are some good options in the draft for WRs, didn't think it made a lot of sense but maybe he'll be a surprise in this offense.

The Houston pickup makes them a dangerous team.

Houston was a starter at KC. Dee Ford played the other side. Houston started twelve regular season games and both playoff games in 2018 and was out with an injury for four games. He started fifteen games in 2017, being held out for the last game of the season, which was meaningless. You're going to be very happy with the pickup.

i was talking about the where. Houston played LOLB behind Jones LDE. Jones led KC (and was 3rd overall in the NFL) in sacks. Playing behind him is going to limit anyone's sack production.

I'm thinking with Doyle and Ebron's contract up next year, they may think Funchess could be an option with his size and because he played both TE and WR in college. Funchess to me is a little like Ebron 2.0, or Ebron Lite (about 20lbs) lol.

Colts really need a legit #2 WR that can stretch the field and keep double coverage off TY. Luck is a vertical guy, playing for a horizontal coach, and a defensive minded GM....

I'm sure Luck and TY are politicking for a WR in the first 3 or 4 picks. Hope they win.

Yeah, I was hoping the Colts would pick up Fuller in the next year. I'm hoping his injuries are behind him and he's able to put together a full season. I think he can put up big numbers with a full year and he changes the entire dynamic for an offense.

I'd love Fuller. I was hoping they'd go after Tate this year. Would have rather had Tate than Funchess.

Definitely upgraded the defense with this signing. Would love to have Fuller's speed, but I'm not sure Fuller can stay healthy with his slight build.

Fuller and TY on the same field? That's too redundant.

Also, I think Funchess is having an Ebron-esque break out year...Andrew loves his big boy targets. I think Andrew was behind the push for that signing imo.

Fuller and TY would be redundant? You mean in size? Because they are very different WRs. Fuller could outrun everyone on the Colts roster. He'd keep the safeties deep for that powerful offensive line to open up holes.

It'd be a treacherous combo.
