Default Robert Quinn traded

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...miami-dolphins

Wow. Why weren't the Colts in at that price? It's essentially Quinn for a 5. He's likely better than what the team will get with its 5th round pick, and this team desperately needs pass rushers.

Because Ballard wants to build through the draft.

I gotta agree with Dammy, I would have done that deal.

Assuming the colts even knew about it. Not every team knows about all deals or availability. It's not like a public auction is held.

You may be right, but every football fan in the world knows that the Colts need a pass rush, you would think that they would be the first team called when trading a pass rusher.

I agree with him as well. Would definitely have spent a mid rounder for Quinn.

I doubt GMs always offer their trades to all teams. There may be some relationship between two of the execs on the teams involved.

If that's the case, then the Rams are stupid for not getting the best value for Quinn. If you're trading a player, shopping him to every team and getting the best value makes the most sense.
