Default Rappaport reports Colts one of teams interested in Brown

Well let the offseason speculation begin

Not really clear though from the article what he is basing this on. Is it something he has heard to just based on the fact the Colts have an extra 2nd round pick and cap space? Article seems to imply the latter, but does not come right out and say it

I would be absolutely shocked if Ballard traded for AB.

I wouldn't be shocked. Ballard knows we're closer to being elite, than far, AB is an immediate upgrade at a position of need.

I don’t see where he is saying they have interest. He says due to salary cap So he’s just crap shooting

I think with our cap room we will be linked to every vet on the trade block. Ballard values those draft picks more than anything, have a hard time seeing him part with one.

He freaked when Smith Shuster was named captain or whatever. How would he handle being second fiddle to TY?

That is the $1,000 question.

Could he come into Indy knowing that Luck is the heart of the team and, perhaps, T.Y. the soul of the team and be okay being "one" of the playmakers rather than "the" playmaker?

If the answer is yes, then you sign him immediately, draft another young potential to add to Cain and Fountain and roll with:

WR1 = T.Y. Hilton
WR2 = Antonio Brown
WR3 = Dontrelle Inman
WR4 - 6 = Deon Cain, Maurice Fountain, mid-round rookie

and hope that one of those young kids steps up and takes Inman's position in the pecking order by no later than mid-season.

Add that to:

TE1 = Jack Doyle
TE2 = Erick Ebron
TE3 = Allie Mo Cox
TE4 = Ross Travis

RB1 = Marlon Mack
RB2 = Nyheim Hines
RB3 = Jordan Wilkins
RB4 = Lower round rookie

and you have some position groups that are deep and exciting.

But if Brown is going to need to be the center of the team, then you pass. Not worth the headache.

Walk Worthy,

Fair warning: get ready for the Colts to be linked to EVERYONE available via free agency and trade. They have the most assets.

If Ballard feels like AB isn't the problem and his relationship with TY can reassure the office he won't be an issue, I'd see if they were interested in Briskett plus a 6th or 7th
