Colts Trade Rumor: Buckner to Browns?
4 Oct
Summary
- DeForest Buckner, a $46 million defensive lineman, may be traded.
- Trade pitch suggests sending Buckner to Cleveland for draft picks.
- Colts face Commanders in London on October 4th.
Trade rumors are circulating around the Indianapolis Colts as they approach their Week 4 game. One bold proposal suggests sending veteran defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, a significant asset valued at $46 million, to the Cleveland Browns. This potential deal, outlined by an NFL writer, would see the Colts receive a 2027 third-round and a 2027 fourth-round pick in return.
The proposed trade is seen as a way for the Colts to regain draft capital, having previously forfeited picks for acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner. The writer suggests this move would be beneficial for Indianapolis, as Buckner may not be part of their long-term plans. Buckner, an 11-year NFL veteran and three-time Pro Bowler, has been with the Colts for seven seasons.
Indianapolis, currently holding a 1-2 record after a recent win, is set to face the Washington Commanders in London on October 4th. The Commanders also stand at 1-2. The Colts are considered slight favorites in this international matchup, with a potential key factor being their ability to pressure Washington's quarterback.
