With the 2017 through 2022 classes already reviewed, the next stop in the Chris Ballard draft review series is 2023. This one is difficult to evaluate because it is still fairly recent, but enough time has passed to start making some firm judgments. Unfortunately for the Colts, most of those judgments are not flattering. This […]
The Colts are about to finish the offseason with some post-draft free agency moves, marking the 10th offseason under Chris Ballard. The decade of Ballard’s management has been a wild rollercoaster ride, albeit not all of it due to Ballard himself. But after this Ballard decade, how does the Colts roster stack up from 2026 […]
Anything is possible. Let’s get that out of the way. Daniel Jones isn’t the second coming of Peyton Manning. Let’s get that out of the way too. With that said, a recent take on Bleacher Report has Jones listed as one of eight quarterbacks most likely to be benched in 2026. This isn’t to say […]
It is no secret that the Colts brass and staff are entering a make or break season. You can only ramp up the sense of urgency so much or so often? It has been pointed out that the first five games on the schedule come with some challenges. The Colts play host to the Ravens […]
The Colts were presented with a challenging decision in regards to Daniel Jones’ contract in 2026. On the surface signing him back was a no-brainer. He led the Colts to one of the most prolific offensive starts we’ve seen in quite some time. He commanded the huddle and was finally someone Shane Steichen felt like […]
With the 2017 through 2021 classes already reviewed, the next stop in the Chris Ballard draft review series is 2022. This was a pretty solid class, especially considering the Colts did not have a first-round pick. The strength of the class is obvious. Alec Pierce developed into a high-level receiver, Bernhard Raimann became a quality […]
The Indianapolis Colts have another starting spot up for grabs, only this time around it’s on the defensive side of the football. Specifically, it’s at the left defensive end spot opposite holdover Laiatu Latu. The Colts saw former first round pick Kwity Paye depart to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, and veteran defensive […]
A new rookie class always holds some level of excitement. Conventional wisdom says at least several of these players won’t work out and some could even be cut before the season kicks off. Others will rise to the occasion and impress beyond expectations. The overall hope is that the Indianapolis Colts got things right. It […]
The Indianapolis Colts made roster moves at quarterback yesterday, except it didn’t involve 4th-year quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who remains on the trade block following his earlier offseason trade request. Rather, Indianapolis announced it signed backup quarterback Easton Stick, while waiving fellow quarterback Seth Henigan in a corresponding roster move. The Colts also signed free […]
The Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has reached an agreement with a pair of unsigned rookies: Kentucky offensive guard Jalen Farmer and Oregon linebacker Bryce Boettcher: This means that the club’s entire 8-man rookie draft class of 2026 has now been safely signed, during the team’s 2nd week of OTAs and before the team’s […]
On Monday, Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones participated in 7-on-7 drills for the first time in the second week of OTAs—almost six months after tearing his Achilles (via ESPN’s Stephen Holder): It marks another step forward in Jones’s ongoing recovery and rehabilitation from the devastating season-ending Achilles injury he suffered during Week 14 of […]
Playing cornerback in the NFL is tough. It has to be one of the hardest positions because players are alone on an island, and not all of them turn it into “Revis Island” either. Jamming the receiver early and throwing them out of their rhythm are keys to locking down a receiver. Yes, they are […]
With the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 draft classes already reviewed, the next stop in the Chris Ballard draft review series is 2021. This is another class that looks fine on the surface because the Colts did get some useful production, but the longer you sit with it, the more underwhelming it becomes. The Colts […]
Arizona Cardinals pass rushing edge Josh Sweat, has been the subject matter of recent trade inquiries by interested NFL suitors, and it begs the questions of whether the Indianapolis Colts could be among those actively pursuing league suitors: The 29-year-old former Super Bowl LIX Champion and NFL Pro Bowler is coming off a 2025 campaign […]
Coinciding with the positional competition at starting right guard along their offensive line, the Indianapolis Colts also are projected to have a training camp battle at starting right tackle. Now, this competition has changed a bit in the last few weeks from what we once knew, and it may be a lot more anticlimactic than […]
The Colts are about to finish the offseason with some post-draft free agency moves, marking the 10th offseason under Chris Ballard. The decade of Ballard’s management has been a wild rollercoaster ride, albeit not all of it due to Ballard himself. But how does the Colts roster stack up from 2026 compared to 2016, the […]
The “Achilles heel” of Indiana sports is the Achilles heel…literally. Tyrese Haliburton was the first victim claimed in the biggest moment of the Pacers’ existence. While the timing wasn’t as dramatic, Daniel Jones fell the same way. The good news for both is they are back on the mend and hope to be full strength […]
The Colts are about to finish the offseason with some post-draft free agency moves, marking the 10th offseason under Chris Ballard.

The Colts have done a lot this offseason, but the pass rush still feels incomplete. Laiatu Latu gives them one quality starting edge rusher, and the additions of Arden Key, Michael Clemons and Colby Wooden strengthened the rotation. But depth and a true second pass rusher are not the same thing. If the Colts are […]
Former Indiana Hoosier, Cincinnati Bearcat and Texas Tech Red Raider Quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s time in college football might be coming to an abrupt end. After the NCAA announced that the 2025 All-Big 12 Second Team Quarterback had lost his final year of eligibility and declared him ineligible to play in the 2026 collegiate season following […]
Could the Indianapolis Colts really win the division in 2026? It’s easier said than done, but it could certainly happen. There is another path the Colts could take in 2026, however. It’s dark and would have lasting repercussions, but it too is possible. Things could go sideways, and the Colts could find themselves at the […]
The opening of OTAs would seem like a great logical step to keep the momentum going after what has widely been called a successful draft. Unfortunately, OTAs move fans into that phase where we are 100% reliant on others to tell us how we are developing. We’ll get pressers and recaps from the occasional beat […]
Colts head coach Shane Steichen made it clear this week that the Colts’ backup quarterback job is not locked in. Steichen said Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard will compete for the No. 2 job behind Daniel Jones. When asked if it will be a 50/50 competition, Steichen said, “Yeah, I would say right now. We’ll […]
During Wednesday’s OTA media availability, Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson indicated that while he hasn’t rescinded his earlier offseason trade request, he is only going to continue to focus on the team and competing for the primary backup quarterback job (via ESPN’s Stephen Holder): The Colts rising 4th-year quarterback recently attended voluntary workouts earlier […]
According to The IndyStar’s Joel Erickson, the Indianapolis Colts will hold joint training camp practices with both the New England Patriots (away) and the Atlanta Falcons (home) this upcoming summer in August: The Colts play the Patriots during the preseason opener in New England on Thursday, August 13th, at 7:30 PM EDT, so it’s safe […]
