I'm guessing you're talking about the Wentz trade?

We didn't make a trade for AR.

Trent Richardson ???

That was 12 years ago, so obviously outside of the window that nate is referring to.

A first-name typo would still be the only reasonable explanation of his comment though, as I doubt that he thought that the Colts traded for Anthony Richardson.

He was probably throwing a general comment out regarding a very bad Colts trade, disregarding the time-frame from the comment that he quoted.

You very well could be right. With that being said though, as much as we gave up for Sauce it could indeed end up being a worse trade than the one for Trent Richardson if Sauce is unable to stay healthy or doesn't play better than he did for us prior to his calf injury.

Lol yes it was so bad i wanted to forget who he was!

ARs name was fresh in my mind, im old dammit.

Also i wasnt trying to stick within the 5 year window, just thinking about historically bad colts trades.

1988 We trade 2 first round draft picks for Fredd Young. Who you ask? Exactly

For those of you who are salivating over Burrow, it is being reported at Bleacher Report that in 2020 Miami offered 4 first round picks for Burrow which included the number 5 pick. The Bengals wouln't even listen. We were never going to get this guy even with those two picks Sauce cost us.

I'm a boxing fan, and an Oriole fan ...... sometimes I would refer to starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie as "William" Guthrie, because William Guthrie was the former WBA Light-Heavyweight champion of the world.

I was logging on to bring this trade up, which IMO is the worst (at least Indy) Colts trade in history.

In a vacuum the Jeff George trade was probably worse, but since Tobin was somehow able to flip him for 2 1st rounders and a 3rd the Young trade IMO is worse. Tobin pretty much thew away the '94 1st and 3rd rounders on Trev Alberts, but obviously made the most out of the '96 1st by drafting Marvin.

I also think the Craig Erickson trade was worse than the Trent Richardson trade. Arguably the Wentz trade was as well even though Ballard was able to recoup some of the draft capital he gave up to get Wentz.

Yeah, the only way the Bungles will let go of Burrow is if he does like Carson Palmer by demanding a trade and then sitting out until the Bungles give in. Doesn't seem like he's there yet, but if '26 ends up being like these last couple have been then he might get there.

As an aside that 1988 trade was made by none other than Jim Irsay in his stint aa owner/gm. Man those were depressing times.
