As the trade deadline approaches, there aren’t many expecting the Colts to be active players in the action that NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal calls the “trade tsunami.” Chris Ballard likes his draft picks, and doesn’t part with them easily. He also has famously said on many occasions that a team is rarely one move away from “arriving” as a franchise.
Because of this, it is unlikely that the Colts are going to be buyers in the trade frenzy that can take hold in the final week before the deadline. Still, it might be a mistake to count the Colts out of any trade action.
