Colts Traded Hassan Ridgeway

Still hope Jihad Ward pans out, ton of potential coming out of Illinois in 2016 was 2nd round pick (44th overall). Maybe nothing …

Good news, problem solved. They signed an UDFA from Northwestern who's a DT. Call it a day

He won’t spend the money on Suh.

Agreed. Plus he wants those reps to go to draft choices. He chooses guys that have potential but need work. They won't improve on the bench

What draft picks? They don't have any draft picks that play DT, and they traded Ridgeway.

I'm guessing that we're moving Lewis inside now, and that the DT rotation as it stands is Hunt, Autry, Lewis, Stewarts, and Ward.

I need to be more exact obviously. By draft picks I meant recent draft picks and young players that are still in the developmental stage, not necessarily draft picks that have occurred within the last 72 hours

Why not?

1. Cap space, not a problem. Suh has played the last couple years on 1 year contracts, by his choice. So it's a one year hit. They have $59 000 000. Give him $10 000 000.

2. He makes the D better, even if he is rotated. Go look at his stats, he had a good year last year.

3. Is there any other FA DT on the market right now better than him?
