Players reportedly available via trade / roster cut
 

There have been a few players mentioned recently that are on the roster bubble that were linked to the Colts in the past via mock drafts.

Thought I would start a thread for discussion.


First up - Dam's favorite OT prospect Teven Jenkins.

Year 2 for Teven....just days into training camp and the Bears are ready to move on from him.

Obviously there is a new regime in place and they didn't draft him.

There are some rumors about maturity issues - he was demoted to second team during OTA's and reportedly wasn't happy about that.

Also need to remember that Jenkins slid on draft day due to injury concerns with his back. He had surgery on it last season but there were concerns that his back was going to be a chronic issue.


So anybody interested in Jenkins as depth?

And at what price - Day 3 draft pick or player? Since Eberflus is now Chicago's coach, he may be interested in a defensive player.

If a draft pick is involved, I would hope it would be a conditional draft pick based on either playing time or if he stays on the roster.

Who the fuck is Teven Jenkins???? LOL! I know Dam had a hard on for him. But hell, we are all wrong on a lot of these prospects, but not as wrong as a lot of these pricks that get paid for this shit, especially Mel Kiper Jr.

Unlike a GM or Head Scout, being wrong wont cost them their job.

Jenkins probably would be the best LT on this team if healthy and acquired. Injuries may do him in, but you couldn't get a more aggressive block finishing left side of a line than pairing Jenkins with Nelson.

The guy we should have drafted instead of Kwity Paye. Not known if he's related to Grant Delpit, the guy we should have drafted instead of Jonathan Taylor.

Or Montez Sweat instead of Rock Ya-Sin. Or D.K. Metcalf instead of Parris Campbell. Or trade up for Jeffery Simmons instead of trading down for Rock Ya-Sin. Or trade up for Mac Jones and don't let Darth Hoodie get him. These would've been terrible ideas, right? I will say there was nothing to complain about in this year's class, considering they will probably get 4 starting caliber players without having the benefit of a top 50 pick.

I hope Kwity Paye makes the second year leap so many are predicting. I'll be ready to believe it when I see it. Also I wonder how much it would've cost to jump in front of Miami to get Jaelan Phillips.

Well, it isn't Madden, so we will never know.

We don't know that Sweat, Simmons, and Metcalf are superior quality players to Rock Ya-Sin and Parris Campbell? And if you say "We don't know how they would've done with the Colts", that same logic certainly applies to Jenkins.

No, we don't know what it would have taken to jump in the draft.

And we also don't know if any other teams were willing to tango.

Mac Jones hasn't proven shit yet?

DK Metcalf has a 60% catch % and is a diva, you think Ballard wanted that?
