We got him off the streets, I'm okay with it.

If I were the Rams, I would make it conditional not only on Gordy making the roster, but also on his level of PT (starter, nickel corner, ST). Not that the Colts would agree to anything higher than a 4th, but if they're comparing Gordy to King, and the conditional pick is based on performance, we should be looking at a 5th.paceram said:

Surprising,
At least they go something for him.
I though Murph would be the one out.

I would have had Gordy over Murphy, but maybe the Colts did too. Sad to see him go, but we do have great depth at that position. Fisher certainly wanted to put his own stamp on the corners by drafting 2 high and signing one.Username said:

Damn. I loved me some Josh Gordy. That kind of sucks, I thought he'd be the fourth CB this year with Murphy and Trumain behind him. Oh well, hopefully we won't have as many injuries and this trade won't come back to bite us.

Just curious - Why don't teams make public what draft picks were involved in trades instead of using the "Undisclosed Draft Pick" answer? Why the big secret? I could somewhat understand it if the pick was conditional but I read somewhere that this pick is not conditional just "Undisclosed". What advantage or disadvantage does it make to make public the pick(s) involved?

Figuring it this way, IF the coaches consider Gordy to be expendable we should be pretty salty at the position, and since Fisher knows how to prevent injuries :ww: it's ALL GOOD.
Seriously though I think he has a shot at starting for the Colts and that aught to raise the level of compensation providing the undisclosed is really conditional and further considering that this IS a leap year when the Moon is in the Seventh House.

I hate to see him go this early, guess I still have nightmares about last season.

I'm on the WTF side as I really thought he played very well. If we really are this deep, to trade this guy, holy smokes, we loaded up big time with talent. 
If you think about this one, it's a no-brainer.
Which means paradoxically you're thinking about a no-brainer but let's overlook that.
They were going to cut a corner in the end, getting down to the 53.
They weren't going to cut Jenkins, Johnson, or Finnegan.
So they have 3 corners in addition to that, all of whom have showed some good stuff. Staff likes em. That's Fletcher, Gordy, Murphy. One of those gets cut.
Better, then, to get something for one. You're going to cut one anyway...why not get a pick instead.
2 are coming off injuries, though. And so they aren't that tradeable.
Gordy is tradeable, hence he is the one who gets traded.

Anyone know what we got for him yet?

And since the draft choice is 2014 it probably escalattes depending upon his starting status /playing time add in that the Colts have first shot at waiver wire players they must have wanted him pretty badly and or we convinced them he wasn't one we were going to cut.RamFan503 said:
