Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has likely been watching the Percy Harvin trade drama closely.

However, he's not just an interested observer. He might be gauging the market in order to make a deal of his own before October 28th's trade deadline.

Courtesy of the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Holder:

"Obviously we're taking it a game at a time, but this week Ryan and Chuck and I met and talked about anything we can do before the trade deadline (or) past the trade deadline in terms of having some young, ascending players who might be able to help us. . . and do whatever we can to get that edge," Irsay said. "Obviously health is going to play a big role in how we move forward. If we can stay relatively healthy, I think this team really has something special. That's what I'm focused on. It's exciting to see."

That could be the foreshadowing of something big to come, or it could be just idle chatter. Either way, Irsay sounds like a guy who does not intend to waste the opportunity before his team.

It's easy to read too far into such talk at this time of the year. However, don't be surprised at all if this is a bit of foreshadowing and Irsay uses a trade or two to try and push the Colts over the Super Bowl hump.
