Another failed Polian draft pick. Also basically guarantees Donald Brown will make the team. If we got anything more than a 7th it's probably a good deal.

From the boss's mouth.

Who is David Reed?

WR David Reed is the return in the Delone Carter trade to Baltimore. Reed's mostly been a kickoff return man with in 3 years with Ravens.

Reed averaged 29.3 yards per kick return as a rookie in 2010 and scored a 103-yard TD. Averaged 29.7 yards per return in 2011. #Colts

Reed throws another name in the KR mix and adds depth at WR...wow this preseason is going quick, it's already shop em before you cut em time.

I had hopes for Carter but if they had no plans for him getting something is better than cutting him.

Hot damn! This dude might actually get us past the 20!

Carter's biggest attribute is short yardage, but with Ballard's emergence and Bradshaw signing here, there was no need for Carter since both those RBs can pick up the tough yards. Plus Donald Brown simply outplayed him.

I remember being so excited for Delone when we drafted him, he just never got it going. Healthy inactive last year for a few games. Glad we were able to get something out of him.

And the writing was on the wall when we drafted Kerwynn Williams IMO, and basically saying Williams was going to have an impact on the kickoff team.

Carter was already cut by the Ravens

Carter was already cut by the Ravens

And David Reed won't make the Colts roster due to his concussion. One of those lose-lose deals.

Eh nobody lost really....both were going to get cut anyway so they got a shot somewhere else and failed to impress.

[jacquewho?]

trade of the year lol

I was wrong anyway. Reed made the team and is listed as our #1 kick returner.
