The Indianapolis Colts are in need of a quarterback in the worst way, which means they have to consider all of their options. That includes a potential trade for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.
While James Palmer of NFL Network reported Friday that the Colts have some level of interest in Mayfield, the two sides haven’t talked yet. Now, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reported that it’s unlikely the Colts make that move to bring in Mayfield.
“Mayfield wanting the Colts is just one side of the equation, remember.
More important: Do the Colts want Mayfield?
To date, I haven’t heard anything to suggest they do. It doesn’t mean a deal won’t happen — the Colts’ options are limited, remember — but I see it as unlikely, based on conversations Friday. Over the last few months, the Colts were determined to move on from Wentz, convinced that he wasn’t the right fit as franchise quarterback. It’s hard to see them believing Mayfield would be — even as a stopgap — while they continue to look for their quarterback of the future in the draft.”
