The Facts: The Colts currently don't have many great players. One of them is Hilton. With the trade deadline only two days away, Hilton's name has emerged in league circles as a guy who could be traded. So would it happen? As one league source with knowledge of the Hilton-Colts relationship told Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
Diehards Line:
But, Florio stressed, it’s believed that it will take plenty of fuel to make it burn. Every player has a price in trade, and if someone wants to pry him away and puts enough on the table, G.M. Chris Ballard (who neither drafted nor extended Hilton) could be willing to accept significant draft assets in exchange for Hilton. But how much would a team offer for a guy who would be hard pressed (as most skill-position players are) to step into a completely new environment and contribute right away? Then there’s the fact that Hilton, as one source told Florio, doesn’t want to leave the Colts. ... Whatever the case, it's another name to watch in advance of Tuesday's trade deadline.
