Then there's also the issue of where the Colts go from here, if we assume the reports of the Bears winning a bidding war form Wentz' services is true.  Irsay himself has debunked the rumors of Luck coming out of retirement.  What do the Colts do at QB if all of this is true?  There is talk of the 49ers and Vikings swapping QBs.  The Packers have been adamant they have no intent to trade Aaron Rodgers.  Big Ben's situation in Pittsburgh is questionable due to his age and their salary cap situation.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agent...s-or-goes/
In a year where the salary cap may decrease due to reduced revenues, it's questionable whether the Steelers can keep him, and it's questionable what trade market there will be for a 39 year old QB with so big of a contract.  Watson?  It's doubtful the Colts could muster the draft capital to pull off a trade, and that's assuming the Texans would be willing to trade Watson within the division.

It seems likely that Jeff Lurie and Howie Roseman are on the verge of going 180 degrees on whether to trade Carson Wentz because the trade compensation would be much higher than they anticipated a month ago.  

Even if the Colts could acquire Ben Roethlisberger at a favorable trade price from the Steelers,  I have serious doubts 'Big Ben' at this stage of his great NFL playing career will be able to lead the Colts deep in the playoffs.  

There are two QB possibilities that come to mind for the Colts. They differ greatly:

A safer option is trading for Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater. 

A more daring option with greater upside but greater risk is the Colts trading for Jets QB Sam Darnold.

According to this, they have yet to receive a 1st round pick for him.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
