It won’t be for a first round draft pick, if it’s Wallace. Indy could have had him as a RFA for a first, earlier – and no one bit.

Would the Steelers part with him for less than a first rounder, now that the market has been established?

It would also make a precedent I’m not sure the franchise wants. Especially after they came out and said there’d be no trade, publically – and he is supposed to get into camp this weekend.

We’ll see….

It’s funny that every time Jim Irsay tweets, everybody gets all over him about it. I honestly think these people are jealous that a team’s owner is passionate about that team and its fanbase. I’ve never heard of the Kraft family connecting with the fans on a regular basis.

Sure Irsay is quirky, but to say he’s a drug user and a drunk is un-called for. He has his skeletons (just like anybody else), but the man has been sober for years. Also, you know that other Irsay you all talk and joke about? He ABUSED Jim Irsay. Let’s try to be a little more intelligent when we post things…. oh wait, this is the internet.

@cruzp23
That’s actually very insightful, I would take anyone of those players. Joe Haden, and revis could definitely be traded, giving their recent situations with their teams. Irsay has never been one to lie, if he usually says they are working on a trade, he usually comes through. If this is a game of semantics, he is going to have pissed off a lot of very emotional fans. Haden, the browns would be crazy to let go, but for the right price, anyone is available. Revis, with him even suggesting a holdout I’m sure has soured the likes of the jets front office. I don’t care what anyone says, Revis is that good. I’m still hoping its Wallace, but all indicators are saying it won’t happen. Thinking about it though, the steelers aren’t going to invest 100 million in 2 receivers, with brown getting 45, and Wallace wanting 55. Steelers don’t play that game, they would get a new receiver for a fraction of the cost with the right draft pick…. Damn you Irsay, just shut up already

You guys are crazy if you think the pats are gonna get rid of Welker that offense runs through him and gronk. If you get rid of Welker then Gronk isn’t as effective.. With Bill and Tom’s clock running out they would never trade one of there best playmakers when the clock is ticking on there careers

Welker? That would be a stupid move. Griff Whalen is ready to take Collie’s spot. No way the Colts chase an older slot receiver. Mike Wallace makes the most sense.

The colts couldn’t give anyone a big deal unless it’s 2013, that’s when almost 40 million in dead cap money comes off the books. A sign and trade with Pitts makes the most sense. Wallace signs his one year tender, the colts prolly give up a 2nd round pick, and give the guy a new deal next year. Wallace is already up to speed on Arians playbook, doesn’t have to worry about Haley, and will be happy man next year. I am just giving a hypothesis, but sounds about right. I don’t see the jags trading mjd into a division rival, and Wes welker, let’s face it, he’s no threat like mike Wallace. Wallace could stretch the field, and draw doubles, which would make Reggie even more dangerous, oh, and then the young double tight ends…. Would be great!

Colts fans need to pray that this continues. Irsay is an idiot for wanting to trade picks when this team is rebuilding. Especially for an established veteran (ie declining veteran).

By: vincentbojackson

vincentbojackson — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:30:05 +0000

Why would the Steelers trade Wallace? They have him locked up for this year, can franchise him next year, and if he leaves the following year they get a 1st round compensatory pick anyway.

By: buckybadger

buckybadger — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:22:58 +0000

This would be the wrong move. Build yourself through the draft and don’t spend big money on a veteran right now. You have just drafted the franchise QB who by all accounts looks like he can be a top 10 QB in the NFL very soon. Don’t go wasting cap space on a guy with tread on his tires. Look to how Green Bay built their team and follow that blue print. Meddling owners are the worse. Good thing the Packer owners are only owners in their mind and Thompson runs the show.

Perhaps someone from the Eagles D line. New GM Ryan Griggson has Eagles ties and there has been talk about moving a player on the D line…

Welker can’t get a long-term deal until after the 2012 regular season ends.

I’m so glad Robert Kraft isn’t on Twitter.

Irsay, you’ve never accomplished anything in life except for having a rich daddy and drinking, smoking, and listening to more bad classic rock than most of us ever will. Just leave your GM alone to do the job he’s actually qualified to do.

Could be Welker. He wants a long term deal, the team won’t give him one, and the Colts just lost Collie. Also, the Pats held Welker out of practice Thursday and are stocked at receiver. I’d hate to lose him but Belichick has brass ones and isn’t afraid to trade key guys.
