I think they know exactly what they have in AR already. Leonard to a lesser extent. Maybe they want to see if Rivers is a viable backup to Jones, if indeed he has expressed a desire to play next year. Roster Leonard as long as possible. I believe AR is trade bait for draft assets next year

I thin AR is trade bait. And they can't risk him getting hurt the rest of the season. I think he has played his last down as a Colt barring FO changes

Trade bait? Be honest, if you were the GM of any other NFL team, what would you offer the Colts for AR? I think they keep him for the last year of his deal, if DJ isn't ready for the beginning of the season, you can start AR. If he does well, great. If he sucks again, you dump him.

If he gets hurt he's is once again a locker room paperweight.

I was/am an AR fan. But. He's lost all trust from this FO IMO

So maybe they trade him for a player, a 4th rounder or whatever. Hell they may even release him

So Puck, if you were the GM of say the Saints, you'd give the Colts a 4th rounder for AR?

Probably not. There will be a team that needs someone if their QB gets hurt. I know that's where we are right now. But I just think the FO is ready to move on. But ya never know. Maybe he gets his head in the game and learns something from Rivers and Jones.

Of course you wouldn't. It's one thing to need a QB, it's quite another to trade for a flop. Especially a fragile flop.

There is always a GM/HC that thinks they can save a player, especially a QB.

That's true, signing a free agent flop is one thing, trading a 4th rounder for him is quite another.
