Downs will still be the Y. But AP and Pitt both split between X and Y routes

So we will need another legit player there Otherwise they will just key in on AP

Can Dulin be that guy? I don't think Gould is progressing as much as I had hoed. Otherwise Downs could move to the Z

Just ooking at other FA WR's that can maybe be had at a lower price to fill in grooming a rookie to take over. Which I expect to be kind of high priority for the draft

But like Dam mentioned Shane like to run 12 personnel SO maybe another TE?


Just thinking out loud.

Yes...we definitely need another legit pass catching option. Whether that is WR or TE probably doesn't matter. I will say I'm intrigued by using more 12 and 13 personnel, if we can find the right TE.

What price could you see the Colts being able to come with and offer?

Free agent DE Trey Hendrickson is in contact with multiple teams, but “nobody has met his price just yet,” and he’s not willing to compromise and take a discounted deal at this point, per @AdamSchefter
.

It is not a discounted deal if nobody is willing to pay more. It is what the market is.

I am not as concerned. Between the missed games and missed blocks, we can get equal play for less money.

The Colts free up some more cap space for this year by restructuring Raimann's contract:

If I had to bet, I’d say Hendrickson ends up in Baltimore now.


Yep - Baltimore quickly pivoted to Hendrickson.

Ravens and Trey Hendrickson reached agreement on a four-year, $112 million contract.

Hendrickson stays in the AFC North, and now will be facing Joe Burrow and the Bengals twice a season.

Nah, that’s some bs from the Ravens. They got buyers remorse and decided they’d rather have Hendrickson and their 2 first round picks.

Total bush league move.

4 years 100 million… they can have him

Hoopsdoc 03-11-2026 10:50 AM

Essentially, the Ravens used 2 first round picks to hold Crosby while they negotiated with Hendrickson.

Complete and total bush league stuff.

That said, it’s completely legal. Let’s just hope the Ravens don’t need anything from the Raiders in the near future.

I see something being changed because of this.

Personally, I am ok with our missing out on this older guy - record be damned. Age, injuries and high $$$ expecations were a negative in my view. Lets hope we find a reasonable alternate or at least find some diamonds in the rough in the draft.

Hoopsdoc 03-11-2026 01:07 PM

Rapaport is saying Hendrickson was planning on signing with the Colts until Baltimore pivoted from Crosby.

lol.
