That's big for him and bigger for us (Seahawks fans).
They just traded away DeForest Buckner for a 4th rounder to San Fran.
I figured this was coming sooner or later, after they fired GM Chris Ballard 11 days ago.
Next up? Probably Jonathan Taylor. He's a running back in his 7th season, which is basically being an old man for a running back. I think he still has at least one or two more good seasons in him, but they may as well get what they can for him while they still can.
I strongly suspect that they'll cut Daniel Jones after this season to get some salary cap room.
Not an NFL guy…really only follow the NFL to catch up on Domers in the league. Seattle will now have four Domers on their active roster - Julian Love, Rylie Mills, Jadarian Price, Big Q. I doubt any other NFL team has as many.
8 time Pro-Bowl guard after being chosen in the 1st round of the draft. Best guard in the pros, but nothing the Colts do surprises anyone. Seattle got him for a steal and if I was Jonathan Taylor, I would be looking for my trade to happen pronto.
The price?
A third round pick, and a fifth round pick.

who has made every pro bowl and only get a 3rd rounder in return? This dude is worse than Omar Khan on the Steelers.
Obviously he's a terrific field manager. Being a Hall of Famer (soon) does not translate to being a great executive. It would take him 2-3 years to figure things out and, in the meantime, the Colts will continue to be mediocre at best. I could go on, but perhaps the biggest reason is that he will likely turn down the opportunity. I'll let you fill in the blanks but look what is happening to Andrew Luck--great player, questionable GM so far.
Word is the Colts wanted some draft capital before he walked.
higher than a third round pick. Howie Roseman, the Eagles GM, would have received a first and third round pick for Q. Lol. I'm not an Eagles guy, but Howie does seem to do trades where he gets very good return for guys they trade.
