The Boston Globe supplied it, and Colts G.M. Chris Ballard has denied it.

According to ESPN’s Booger McFarland, Ballard said before Monday night’s preseason game between the Colts and the Ravens that the Seahawks did not attempt to trade for backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

Over the weekend, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reported that Seattle offered a second-round pick for Brissett, a former third-round pick of the Patriots who was traded to Indy last year for former first-round pick Philip Dorsett.

Colts owner Jim Irsay recently said the team wouldn’t take a first-round pick for Brissett. Appearing last Monday on #PFTPM, Ballard wasn’t as willing to slam the door on a possible first-round pick for the backup to Andrew Luck.

  1. In the other thread I said I just didn’t believe this story because it didn’t make any sense for the Seahawks to give up a second round pick when they can usually turn it into three later round picks.

    I also thought coming from Boston and being about Jacoby Brissett was a little bit too much of a coincidence as well…

    Busted… someone is trying to generate clicks.
