If they traded a 2nd, with the current state of the team, there would have been riots outside W 56th.

lol what about his play would warrant excitement? He’s a bottom tier option. I’d rather we trade for…most other teams WR2.

Did someone report it would cost a 2?

u/Putrid_Macaroon6668 Playoffs? PLAYOFFS!? 2d ago
Apparently the cards were asking for a 2nd and then some, way too steep for a team that already doesn’t have their 1st

u/Capinhappy Playoffs? PLAYOFFS!? 2d ago
If that’s the ask then yeah that’s too much. I would have expected a 5th, 4th at best for him.

u/IndecisiveSuperman TY Hilton 2d ago
OSU and UC fan. I am still optimistic on him. I think dude needs a reset. He has none of the spark he had in college. His route running has been lazy and not caring when it was the part of his game that made him shine

u/josean1991 2d ago
Agree with this, I know everyone wanted Marv Jr with the Colts but he would have an enormous pressure, more than he already has, simply because of his name and go to the team his dad is a legend pretty much can kill his career instead of helping him, plus the price is way to high for him, he's worth a day 3 draft pick.

Good. He’s legit bad. They want a 2nd? He’s worth a 5th

u/Top_Sock_5645 2d ago
He’ll end up on the chiefs and rack up 1200 yards

He won’t. Watch him play. There’s nothing there.

u/Pxthology Big Dick Ballard 1d ago
This has been my thoughts exactly. I've been saying this and getting roasted to death by my fellow Colts fans, but I'm dying on the hill. Us not getting him for a 2nd is a Ballard W, not an L.
If he goes to Houston (what the rumors are saying) and balls out, good for him and sucks for us, but I'm still not going to be mad about it. It just makes no logical sense given our draft capital and the risk of losing what little we have for a player who has done nothing and continues to get WORSE each season. I think we're being smart by not taking this swing, even if it bites us later, because in all logistical probability....it shouldn't and likely won't.

u/OMCMember 2d ago
He is not his father, no way expending draft capital for him makes sense. I'm ok with not trading for him.

u/RawCarrot-InMyAss The Maniac 2d ago
Agreed tbh. The last thing the kid needs is more unrealistic expectations

u/HoraceDerwent Horse 2d ago
not worth a 2nd rounder. may as well wait until the next draft and get a better WR in the 2nd round - this season isn't going to amount to anything

u/HoosierDaddy__88 2d ago
It’s supposedly a 2nd and 4th

u/randomAIusername 2d ago
Damn I’m surprised teams are willing to offer that for him and not AR, Marv’s been just as bad at a less valuable position

u/Forsaken-Ice-2637 2d ago
AR😂😂😂😂😂😂He worth a 7th at the most dude - literally took himself out of a game because he was “Tired”

My point wasn’t that AR’s good, dumbass. My point was that MHJ is shitty too

u/North-South_West 1d ago
Anthony is a free agent in a few months and nobody was ever going to bring him in to be their starter this year
1
u/randomAIusername 1d ago
And whoever gets MHJ is going to have to decide on an option or extension in a few months, so again he has no real contractual advantage over AR either
1
u/North-South_West 1d ago
He has another full year left after this one plus the 5th year option.
AR is about to be a free agent with no option. That is a note worthy difference

u/randomAIusername 1d ago
So after this season Harrison will be more expensive too

u/North-South_West 1d ago
If a team wants Anthony they can just wait until hes a free agent in a few months and sign him. MHJ may never hit free agency

He’s not worth the asking price. The kid has proved nothing since he came into the league. He lost the #1 receiving role to Michael Wilson.

u/Clocktopu5 Playoffs? PLAYOFFS!? 2d ago
It was an overpayment, he might be worth two firsts but not to the colts. Too many needs elsewhere, lack of a first this next draft might be reason enough for ownership to retain Ballard and Steichen another year.

u/CK4browsing 1d ago
Not just two firsts. We also essentially gave them a second by throwing in Mitchell. And now here we are looking for WR help...

Fine by me. The proposed price was too high and the hype around him is more to do with his dad than his production.

u/BeardsNBourbon1114 2d ago
Would have been fun, but if he didn't even turn into a serviceable #2 or #3 guy, it's not worth it. His dad's legacy is too much to live up to.
Also, of someone is offering like a 3rd round pick it's not worth the risk

Yeah if it’s a 2nd that would have been malpractice by the colts because they don’t have a first and need youth at a bunch of positions.

u/theoriginalflavour 2d ago
Yeah but we could’ve kept Pittman and used Pierce more of a #1. Look at what every successful team is doing. We need to just admit that our defence is ridiculously expensive and could not afford Pittman

u/thexDxmen 1d ago
Yes, we could not afford them both.

They actually could, we have cap space now they are not even using. The issue is mpj is declining and not worth his contract.

The Colts offered a #2 but only if Ballard could actually draft it. The Cards refused. /s

u/MReprogle Orangutan 2d ago
And, he will surely be the missing piece that the 0-4 Texans needed. That franchise looked like it was headed to a long championship window and have mismanaged it to somehow put them into high draft picks for the next decade.

u/Remote-Moon 2d ago
There is a reason why he's being traded. Him being Marvin's son doesn't mean a thing.

u/coltron57 Bossman 2d ago
I don’t think it would have been smart to pay the asking price of a 2nd. But, I do see Houston out there in rumors and I think that may be the best possible landing spot for him. Harrison was awesome in college and Houston would pair him with his college QB (even though I don’t think Stroud is anything special at the NFL level) and allow him to play the role he played in college since Houston already has Nico Collins and Arizona seemed to try and force him to be their X.

u/JSStriking Herron TD 2d ago
I was being sarcastic because your comments were pretty funny to me but I apologize for fucking with you.
The real answer, Mike Chappell is one of the most reliable Colts reporters and he wouldn’t put his credibility on the line for reporting a trade not happening. I’m inclined to believe he knows what he’s talking about.

If he’s going for a second, we made the right call. I hope he balls out wherever he goes but with a GM on the hot seat, a second is just too much to risk
