PHOENIX – 'Tis the season for smokescreens and vague statements, when NFL decision-makers tell you what best suits their purposes and protects their interests.
The draft is nearly upon us, making this a time when any seasoned observer knows to view everything with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Yet, the Indianapolis Colts don’t appear to be approaching this with much ambiguity at all. In fact, owner Jim Irsay, General Manager Chris Ballard and coach Chuck Pagano appeared largely forthright during this week’s NFL owners meetings.
For example: Irsay on Monday said the Colts were looking for possible opportunities to trade down and accumulate additional draft picks.
