Probably too old, too expensive (picks + contract), and too much of an individual for Ballard.

No thanks. Pass.

He was the guy secretly recording and broacasting the Steelers headcoach in the locker room. He more trouble and at the backend of his career

Only reason I'm intrigued is that he is basically a better WR than Chester Rogers. I think an offense where one of Bell/Hines is on the field at all times is a much better offense than what Colts have now.

Thought that was Antonio Brown?

Not interested at all

Cap room moves forward.

I would have been more in favor of the Mack trade. I think defensive players transition to new teams better than offensive players.

Bell is approaching 30 and he wants unprecedented money. Not as a RB but as a RB and WR combined. You pay that it takes away from other positions.

I completely agree though I think it may be too soon for that sort of move, but yes he is the kind of player you blow that cap space on.

It would be a tactical and not strategic move. He would be a near term distraction that would be outside the overall vision for this team.

Add to that how it would change the game plan. He was so successful in Pittsburgh because they had 5 years to work his talent into their game plan. FFS, he caught 85 passes last year.

He's only 26, but has missed time in 4 of his 5 seasons.

Grigson would have already inked the deal.
