DeForest Buckner Traded to the Colts

Buckner is a good player but he simply isnt worth 21 million a year. I really don't understand this move for the Colts. The 13th overall pick,21 million a year for a team who has no QB. They're looking at Rivers but his tank is almost on empty.

Exactly. This is my biggest concern as well. There's no doubt that the trade was a good move, but now you're depending on Nick Bosa and 2 guys who have barely been able to stay on the field, especially Dee Ford. I don't expect him to play more than half of next year's games. The foundation of our team just got weaker.

You can say that for every DT not named Donald. He's in a class of his own.

Whether you felt he was dominant or not his play definitely freed up others to get sacks. My concern now is how much this loss puts on Bosa carry so much of the load especially with Ford's durability in question.

If anything this changes things for Armstead. But Armstead was already better at beating double teams than Buckner.

No he wasn't.

Buckner was a top 5 IDL. You're undervaluing him.

One can also say AA looked good last year simply because he was surrounded by superior talent and faced the least amount of attention by an offense. Now that talent is less and he has even more responsibility to make up the difference with the loss of Buckner our best player on the DLine.

Now we have a bunch of half season DLs playing next to Bosa.

Good point on Ford and on the flip side Buck's durability doesn't get enough credit. One missed game in four seasons.

Can we wait a few more months before making this declaration? I'm pretty sure this isn't the last move we're making.
