The Indianapolis Colts looked at a variety of options at quarterback before trading for Matt Ryan, including one potential move for a young player.
"It would have been a trade scenario for a younger guy," owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday. "At least two ones, probably."
Two first-round draft picks would represent a much higher cost than the third-round pick Indianapolis sent the Atlanta Falcons for the 36-year-old Ryan. The other deal still never materialized as hoped.
"You know we looked at a young guy or two, it was probably one, but really, in the end, he wasn't available, after all was said and done," Irsay added.
