The Indianapolis Colts traded a third-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for quarterback Matt Ryan and if you were wondering why they didn’t go after Jimmy Garoppolo, we may have an answer. - While the Colts certainly had interest in trading for Garoppolo at the beginning of the offseason, the recent shoulder surgery he underwent clouded his timeline for return. - Not having the starting quarterback be able to take part in the offseason workouts reportedly rose as a red flag for the Colts, per Dianna Russini of ESPN. So they focused their efforts on the aforementioned Ryan. - - So why didn't the Colts go after Jimmy G?Form what I was told, there were concerns over the shoulder injury. Not so much the medical side of it but the idea of missing time in the offseason with a new team. This was a red flag. - — Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) March 21, 2022 - - - It doesn’t really have that much of an impact for the Colts now but at least we know why the interest in Garoppolo never grew legs like it did with Ryan. - The Colts traded for Carson Wentz last offseason and even though he was healthy, the team opted to change the offseason workout schedule. Not having a new quarterback get time to work within the offseason—even in shorts—contributed to the team’s slow start. - The Colts won’t begin offseason workouts until April 18, but they already have their quarterback after trading for Ryan on Monday. - - Like Colts Wire on Facebook - Follow Colts Wire on Twitter - Follow Kevin on Twitter (@KevinHickey11) - - RelatedDarius Leonard quickly recruiting Julio Jones after Matt Ryan tradeColts' salary-cap space update after Matt Ryan tradeWhat the Matt Ryan trade adds to the Indianapolis Colts' offense - - List - - What's next for the Colts after trading for QB Matt Ryan? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Colts Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Colts Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
