Whether it was pursuing Trey Hendrickson in free agency or others on the trade market, the Colts have considered several options. <\/p>\n<p>The Colts have added a pair of edge rushers in free agency, signing Arden Key and Micheal Clemons. Yet, they could still be eyeing a more impactful starter to pair opposite of Laiatu Latu. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25411529-5-most-plausible-2026-nfl-draft-day-trades\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25411529-5-most-plausible-2026-nfl-draft-day-trades\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bleacher Report\u2019s Brent Sobleski<\/a> proposed some bigger trade ideas for teams around the league. When it came to the Colts, he predicted the team would trade for Pro Bowl pass-rusher Jonathan Greenard, who\u2019s been angling for a new contract from the Vikings. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan Greenard is the logical target.

Their reported asking price starts at a Day 2 pick, which would mean either a second or third-round selection. <\/p>\n<p>Adding Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, could be the sweetener needed to get a deal done. However, it\u2019s believed the Vikings would much prefer to keep their talented pass-rusher. Plus, the Vikings already have three quarterbacks on the roster, including a pair of developmental projects in <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/tag\/jj-mccarthy\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"72271\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">J.J.
