The Indianapolis Colts have several players on the trade block heading into Week 7.
In the mix is a 32-year-old defensive tackle who one NFL writer named a fit for an NFC contender.
Colts’ DeForest Buckner Named Fit for NFC Team
According to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, Buckner could find his new home with the San Francisco 49ers.
He suspects that with the recent firing of Chris Ballard, roster changes may be coming soon.
“Interim general manager Ed Dodds — along with franchise ownership — may soon consider selling off pieces, as the Miami Dolphins did after firing GM Chris Grier last season,” he wrote. “DeForest Buckner would be a logical trade chip if that is the case. Premier defensive tackles generally command strong returns, and Buckner is still one of those, even at 32.”
Knox added, “The three-time Pro Bowler is also playing in the final year of his current contract. Trading him would provide some cap relief while allowing the Colts to acquire something in return for a player who could leave in free agency next spring.”
