Colts Reportedly “Checked In” on Deonte Banks

Could be we will give you a 7 for Banks and a 6

Is a fireable offense? Did I miss Schoen turning down a trade offer?

They're thinking of rehabbing him like DJ, once away from our cesspool of coaches.

without knowing what the Colts offered. Would you have been willing to taking a super low ball offer just to get rid of Banks?

Hurt his feelings.

getting rid of the guaranteed contract might be worth getting nothing in return, but you really don't save much. He's a bust, but as a backup, he does hold some value.

Our previous DB coach now the DB coach on the Colts - interesting that he would want to trade for Banks, even if the offer was just for peanuts.

Did they actually offer anything or was it just checking?
What did they offer if they did?
Did this actually happen at all?

You make it sound like Schoen for a fact turned down a 2nd rd draft choice or something.

He did good as a kick returner if I recall correctly only thing I’d have him on the field for

That's a rhetorical question, right?

without knowing any details?

How do you know the Colts didn't check in, in case they couldn't land Sauce?

but settled for Gardner.😂😂😂😂

Make it make sense

"settled" for Gardner? Not that they checked in to see what the cost would be for Banks to have options should they decide the 2 1sts for Gardner is too much?

Sounds more plausible to me. but go in with your "make it make sense" histrionics.

if they couldn’t get Sauce

Banks is so awful, he would be screwing the Colts with any trade. And Schoen needs a job after the season.

does NOT mean they actually wanted him...

For a lot of people here, what Joe Schoen has for breakfast is a firable offense.

I've explained this a lot before - there is free agency and a salary cap in the NFL.

If a player, no matter how big a superstar, tests the market and signs for the market-clearing price, the team that just signed him can trade him for NOTHING. Because any other team could have just paid him $1 more prior to signing and won his services. People don't want to understand that you could have prime Jerry Rice on your team today, and if you were on the hook to pay him $100M per year for the next 4 years he would be completely worthless as a trade asset.

If a player is worth less (much less) than his contract, he is worth NEGATIVE value. He is not tradeable except as part of a package where you give other more valuable assets and receive less valuable assets.

for an 8th round pick.

Haha, for real

Its actually rat Craig Carton who came up with the most interesting theory, that there's basically an embargo of moves by the owners preparing for a big change... Well, at least good for my copium.

He did OK returning the ball a couple times, but when the other returner fielded the kick Banks showed less than zero interest in throwing a block for his teammate

The Colts may have called Schoen while they were negotiating for Gardner and asked about Banks, and Schoen said "We're open to letting him go." The Colts then get a call back from the Jets saying "Sure, we'll trade you Gardner for what we talked about." Colts then tell Schoen nevermind.

In your mind, Schoen should be fired for not finalizing that deal?

we are going to believe another news article? Not only that, but from SI of all places? They are to sports like Rolling Stone and MTV are to music.

I dont believe anything that I read there.

Hey Mac Attack..be careful. Fake news here is a bannable offense.

With his past criticism of Banks, why would he want him? BBI usually goes all in on these reports. Most of them are BS.

Fall back into the pit of despair.

Which is where we are currently.

yes and no. Sure he sucks now, but giving him away for pennies before the new defensive coordinator gets a change to work with him may not be the best move either

was Banks for Adonai Mitchell. If that was a possibility and the Giants passed then Schoen is dumber than I thought.

anybody that says that something is a fireable offense - especially something based on a rumor.

Does it seem plausible that Banks and Gardner would be objects of the same team's desire. Hey, if we can't get Deontae Banks, we'll get Sauce Gardner...does that make sense?

Like saying, if a team asks about Trent Grisham and is rejected, they turn around and acquire Aaron Judge.
