Colts look closer to sellers than buyers as NFL trade deadline approaches Tuesday. Key players could be leaving

Colts look closer to sellers than buyers as NFL trade deadline approaches Tuesday The Colts have been feeling more like contenders than contenders lately, so it would be surprising to see ​​a big move.

The NFL trade deadline is set for 4pm EST Tuesday (Halloween) and the Indianapolis Colts, now 3-5 and their rookie quarterback lost for the season, look like seller rather than buyer, if any.

The Colts have been linked to former Denver Broncos first-rounder Jerry Jeudy, although they have reported varying levels of interest.

And after witnessing Sunday’s loss, one can’t help but wonder if they need some help as passers (think Washington Commanders Montez Sweat or Chase Young?

Or Panthers of Caroline, Brian Burns?

) or as a fullback (Chicago Bears).

Jaylon Johnson, what do you think?

) to shore up a struggling defense.

However, based on the Colts’ current position.

Looking more like contenders than pretenders, it would be surprising if the Colts made an acquisition involving significant draft capital unless they just looked beyond this offseason.

On the sales front, Kenny Moore II is likely the most attractive trade candidate, who the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles were recently reported to have shown interest in.

However, he has reportedly rediscovered his Pro Bowl form so far this season and seems like someone the Colts might want to re-sign.

It wouldn’t really make much sense for Indianapolis to move their starting quarterback, unless they have a strong incentive to do so with significant draft capital going in the other direction.

Additionally, perhaps future free agents like safety Julian Blackmon or running back Zack Moss could be notable names, but I’m not sure the market for either of the other two is strong strong enough to justify an action or not.

That could happen, although the Colts know they won’t re-sign Blackmon and could look to give Nick Cross more playing time, and Moss’s days in the Indy backfield could end in end of the season with the re-signing of the contract.
