In each of the last two years, trades have worked out for the Colts.
In 2012, they sent a 2013 second-round pick to the Dolphins for cornerback Vontae Davis. Davis has turned into a shut down stud for Indy.
In 2013, they sent a 2014 first-round pick to the Browns for running back Trent Richardson. Colts owner Jim Irsays says the organization is prepared to deal again.
“Obviously we’re taking it a game at a time, but this week Ryan [Grigson] and Chuck [Pagano] and I met and talked about anything we can do before the trade deadline [or] past the trade deadline in terms of having some young, ascending players who might be able to help us. . . and do whatever we can to get that edge,” Irsay said, via Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star. “Obviously health is going to play a big role in how we move forward. If we can stay relatively healthy, I think this team really has something special. That’s what I’m focused on. t’s exciting to see.”
The Colts could use help on the offensive line or on the defense.
