Irsay-Gordon was in session with Colts GM Chris Ballard because the transfer was being thought-about, and primarily gave the GM the go-ahead to make the deal by making a daring assertion in regards to the future.
“Do you need to Band-Support it or repair it for the long run?” Irsay-Gordon requested Ballard, via Albert Breer of The MMQB.
The Colts had a necessity at cornerback
The Colts had misplaced cornerback Charvarius Ward to a concussion previous to their Week 6 recreation, so they might have theoretically gone for a short-term repair on the cornerback place. As a substitute, the crew took an enormous swing and obtained Gardner, who has at occasions been one of many recreation’s finest on the place.
Irsay-Gordon is in her first yr of possession after her father Jim died in Could. She has shown herself to be a hands-on figure and is clearly keen to be aggressive if it makes her crew higher.
The Colts are 7-2, and that was earlier than buying Gardner on the commerce deadline. They look like rounding right into a severe contender within the AFC at this stage of the season.
