Colts Trade for Trent Richardson
Big trades like this in the NFL are odd. Colts gave up a 1st round pick next year for Trent Richardson.
Wonder what they would have given for Ben Tate... Regardless, worth considering to watch this develop since the Colts are a division opponent.

As a Texans fan, I'm actually kinda happy about the trade. The Colts now have zero round 1 picks to help with thier lack of defensive talent next year. I think that's good news.
TRich was a stud @ Bama, but hasn't done squat in the pros. I saw a stat that in 17 games, he has 2 100 yard games, and 2 runs over 20 yards. TWO. The Colts Oline is not head over heels better than the Browns, but he will definitely see less 8 man fronts. Time will tell, and I could be wrong, but I sure as hell wouldn't have made that deal.

I don't get this trade either, that is from the standpoint of the Colts, but I think the Browns made a good move. Of course I wondered why they would part with the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 Draft for a running back. In this day and age of the pass-happy NFL didn't know anybody still drafted runners that high ?
And what could the Colts have gotten Tate for ? Oh I know that intradivisional trades are unusual but hypothetically speaking you've got to think that the Texans would really get interested in say a third-round pick for Tate if offered given his circumstances ? And high-draft picks, especially a teams first round pick, are an NFL organizations most highly valued assets.

The Browns reportedly have an eye on Tate as a free agent to replace Richardson: https://m.facebook.com/AdamSchefter/...11182732337160
