Trading Allen created a void as a receiving option on the 2017 Colts. I am going to judge that trade based on if the lower priced talent on the team fills the void or not.

If the offense don't not skip a beat in 2017, then good trade. If it struggles because no one steps up as a 4th trusted pass catching option, then bad trade.

What is hard to understand about that?

that they traded him for a 4th rounder. If he is terrible then that factors in.

And Allen has a value as a blocker as well. No te on the roster will match that.

Did the colts gain more than they lost is how you judge it.
