Polian: Colts Could Have Traded For Orton

Sep 27, 2014 11:14 PM

The trade deadline was bumped from Week 6 to Week 8 recently, a decision that would have changed the makeup of the Colts had it been enacted last season. Bill Polian, who was let go as president by Indianapolis after the season, said he could have acquired quarterback Kyle Orton. "I think the deadline being moved last year would have made a difference for us," Polian said. He says that Peyton Manning might still be with the Colts had the trade been reached. Indianapolis could have finished with a better record, keeping them out of position to draft Andrew Luck. "We would have rekindled our interest in Orton. In Week 6, we knew our quarterback situation wasn't great, but after a couple more weeks, we realized the situation was bad," he said. "We probably would have called Denver, who'd gone to (Tim) Tebow by then, and said, 'Hey, we'll give you a three (third-round draft choice) for Orton.'"

Vanderjagt Suspended From Coaching Job

Oct 31, 2014 1:32 PM

Mike Vanderjagt has been suspended from his role as a middle-school soccer coach after a March incident in which he allegedly grabbed a student by the throat at Charter Middle School in Marco Island, Fla. The Naples Daily News reported Thursday that Vanderjagt, a school parent, was investigated by police for attacking a student that taunted him with cries of "wide left, wide left" through a rolled-up piece of poster board. According to police, Vanderjagt was crossing the school's parking late in the day when he heard the taunts. The student told authorities the former kicker "walked up to him, grabbed him by the throat and started cursing at him." Vanderjagt told police he simply placed his hand on the child's shoulder.

Colts Offer Study Aid To Stanford-Bound Luck

May 9, 2014 1:40 PM

Andrew Luck will be away from the Colts for a month, but he plans to keep himself involved in the learning process. Luck plans to review film of this weekend's rookie minicamp and work out with as many of his new teammates as he can. League rules prohibit rookies from attending any offseason workouts at the team complex, other than the rookie minicamp, until they have completed the college semester's classes. That means the first overall pick is barred from working out at Indy's facilities until after he finishes his final class June 7. "It is tough. I think it is very tough," Luck said. "We are going to have to find ways, legally, or to work around the rules, to get work in with the guys and start building those relationships with the veterans who can't be here at this minicamp. As a rookie quarterback, I wish it would be easier to get out here and to do this stuff, but it is the way it is. Everybody has got to do it."
