Great trade for the Colts. They have the cap space to deal with Wentz contract and their coach could revive his career.

Hoping this causes a domino effect for Watson. So I can either be excited or look forward to the draft. I just want that to be done with.

Dude sucks but he's got traits, I guess? The fall he's endured from his rookie year to last is crazy.

Gets to play behind a great OL in Indy, if he sucks in 2021, yeah he really does suck.

Bears got other problems to deal with than to trade for a QB that might be good.

Fair trade. though I see Wentz as just an average QB. I don't think the colts got much better today.

I see the Colts making the playoffs now.

Was Sileo correct?

That was just a trade suggestion. Would hate to see Warner be traded but how many high priced players can u keep resigning until u are where saints are cap wise?? Sure let's hope for the safe option and kick rocks around while other GMs aren't afraid to take gambles. Once again please remind me who was the starting QB going into 2017 draft?? Take safe route with Solomon Thomas and bypass picking mahomes and Watson. How's that working out?? No draft pick is going to be guaranteed but name the last QB that niners FO took in 1st rd. Only speaking for myself, I would maybe trade Bosa to jets for #2. He has had 3 season ending injuries so far. When he was drafted, lots of people on here were opposed to him being drafted due to injury issues. He missed a couple of games 1st yr and only played in a couple last yr. He is very talented but very injury prone.

Hindsight is 20/20. Sure you've heard that before.

You also forget that the master plan at that time was supposedly to sign Cousins.

"A lot of people didnt want to draft Bosa." Maybe, but a whole lot more wanted him.

I don't think the Colts will benefit much from this trade. The picks could have been useful.

Change my mind.

Every coach thinks they can fix a guy that has the talent, until they spend some time with them in position meetings and game planning. But who knows? A player may simply not believe in that coaches system and his motivation dies. Then he goes to a coach who's system impresses that player and it's like a whole new perspective going full speed ahead with the motivation to make it work.

I think the colts needed a win now qb. Their defense is there, they were competitive with rivers. They have the oline and running game. I think their weakness is QB and WR. Wentz knows the offense, He did take the eagles to 14-2 before he got injured that superbowl year. I think its a good trade for both, even though wentz isnt great.

The Colts got raped. They took on Wentz atrocious salary PLUS they gave up high draft capital. They would have better served moving up the draft to select a QB. And the dude can't stay healthy.

The terms of the trade make sense. If he plays back to his rookie season, he is worth a 1st next year. If not...

Pederson was over-rated, IMO. He came out of Reid's system with a stacked team. He did nothing to help Wentz stay on track. Reich will make a big difference in his play.

I'm rooting for Wentz personally. The jokes people are making at him while it was pretty well documented his receivers were all no names. His coach was shown as a complete fraud. Now he goes to a team with a great coach, one of the best O lines, a very good running back, and a top defense. This trade has the potential to be brought up by the same people who say "we drafted Solomon Thomas instead of Mahomes"
