I think if the Colts are locked into a playoff spot going into week 17, they may “rest” some players. Maybe not go all out for that game, show any plays(vanilla calls).
The way some were worried about the Patriots tanking so the Jets don’t get Lawrence, the same should apply to the Colts, who should not want a generational talent at QB going to a division rival, who’d they play twice a year and have to compete against for the division.
Especially, with the Colts QB being on a one year deal and his last legs.
It would be more advantageous for the Colts if the Jets drafted Lawrence, and then, even turned around and swung a deal for Darnold.
Call me crazy but that’s what I’m thinking.
Jets just can’t go out and beat the Browns or Pats the next two weeks.
Today we should all be rooting for a Colts victory.
