The Indianapolis Colts are arguably the deepest at the cornerback position with Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward, and Kenny Moore II leading the way, though they’re still doing their due diligence. Indy has completed a virtual interview with North Carolina State cornerback Devon Marshall ahead of the NFL Draft, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. At […]
Chris “the cat” Ballard. That is an appropriate name given the number of lives he has had with the Indianapolis Colts. Every year seems like his last, yet he keeps going. The hopes are high he will succeed, but the faith meter is low. If he is going to pull a rabbit out of his […]

On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts hosted their annual local Pro Day at the team’s W. 56th Street complex, and this may be the most talented group of local prospects they’ve brought in since the spring event’s inception. Here is this year’s local Pro Day participant roster listed below (via The Athletic’s James Boyd): In particular, […]
Steve Alford or Reggie Miller? Asking this in 2026 isn’t even a question. Miller is an icon, not just in Indiana but in the entire NBA. As silly of a question as it may seem, in 1987, it was a real debate. No one knew who Miller was and Alford was an Indiana icon in […]
The Indianapolis Colts are scheduled to meet with IPP defensive line prospect Uar Bernard (Nigeria) this week, according to Luca Evans of the Denver Post. The International Player Pathway (IPP) has been an avenue for international draft prospects since early 2016. Created by the NFL to help bridge the gap between its sport and the […]
The Indianapolis Colts are still without a starting strong safety as we inch towards the NFL Draft… or are they? Indy’s starter of the past two seasons, 2022 draftee Nick Cross, just left in free agency to join the Washington Commanders’ defensive backfield. Although his departure was indeed a loss, general manager Chris Ballard and […]
Last week, on the ‘On My Soul’ podcast, former Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl tight end Eric Ebron caused some national stir, when he recalled that current longtime team general manager Chris Ballard gave retired franchise quarterback Andrew Luck an ‘ultimatum’ that he either commit to the team and play through lingering pain for the 2019 […]
According to Essentially Sports Tony Pauline, the Indianapolis Colts are an interested suitor for Indiana University wideout Elijah Sarratt with a ‘Day 2’ pick in late April’s NFL Draft: “With the NFL Draft just weeks away, the scramble to replace star talent is in full swing, and sources say the Indianapolis Colts have a specific […]
According to Over the Cap, the Colts currently sit at roughly $26.6 million in available cap space for the 2026 season. That’s the official number, but the real number is lower. Teams typically need to reserve around $3 million for in-season transactions (injuries, practice squad elevations, emergency signings) and another ~$3 million to account for […]
Cue the SpongeBob meme in which he is holding a paper clip and a string because that is just about all the Indianapolis Colts sound like they will be getting in return for Anthony Richardson if they can find a trade partner. Gone are the days of the Vikings being rumored to offer four first-round […]
With this month’s upcoming NFL Draft rapidly approaching, the Indianapolis Colts still have a number of key positional holes to fill, which they so far haven’t in free agency. In particular, the Colts’ starting defensive positions of edge and linebacker need to be addressed, while outside wide receiver could also be a position of need […]
Around this time last year, Colts fans were clamoring for a tight end. It was the missing piece to an offense that had a formidable group of wide receivers and a star running back. The schematic issue that plagued the Colts passing attack in 2024 is that they loved love to operate out of 11 […]
As the NFL’s nine-week offseason program is set to begin in April, the Indianapolis Colts have a structured path moving forward into the 2026 season. Indianapolis will open Phase One of the league’s voluntary offseason training program on April 21, which is a period focused strictly on meetings, strength training and rehabilitation. On-field instruction ramps up […]
The draft is under three months away, and off-ball linebacker is one of the easiest positions to misread if you lean too heavily on tackle totals. Production can be misleading and some linebackers rack up numbers because the defensive line keeps them clean. Others are late to diagnose but still arrive in time to make […]
At the annual league meetings earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard hinted at acquiring more draft picks during late April’s draft weekend (via the Colts’ Larra Overton): “Right now, we have seven picks, I would guess we end up with more,” said Ballard at the NFL annual league meetings in Phoenix. “So […]
On Thursday, two former Indianapolis Colts defenders retired as both linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. and cornerback Stephon Gilmore decided to hang up the professional football cleats for good. Originally a 2017 5th round pick of the Colts out of Northwestern, Walker Jr. would appear in 57 career games, making 48 over starts over his first […]
After losing Kwity Paye and Samson Ebukam in free agency and missing out to Baltimore on Trey Hendrickson, the Indianapolis Colts defensive line needs fresh impact on the edge. The Colts have already signed some rotational pieces like Arden Key, but the depth chart still has question marks and lacks a consistent pass rusher to pair with the younger guys […]
This time last year, the buzz was high. The Indianapolis Colts coveted Tyler Warren, but signs pointed to him being off the board much sooner. Things worked out, and the Colts got their man. The excitement Warren generated before and during the season was palpable. This year? This year feels totally different. As we near […]

According to NFL.com’s Jeffri Chadiha, recently re-signed Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is his top candidate to become the ‘Next Sam Darnold’ for the 2026 campaign: Specifically, the 28-year-old Darnold was a former failed 2020 Top 5 pick of the New York Jets, who would bounce around to four NFL teams over the next five […]
The draft will be in Pittsburgh in less than a month and the Colts have seven picks to try and address six varying degrees of need. Andrew Aziz gave us these six needs last week and I not only agree with the positions, but the order of importance as well. A quick recap of the […]
According to longtime general manager Chris Ballard, the Indianapolis Colts are still evaluating options at their depleted linebacker position—including both externally and internally, with a mention of even ascending 3rd-year linebacker Jaylon Carlies as a realistic replacement possibility (via Stampede Blue’s Noah Compton): After the Colts traded former All-Pro veteran linebacker Zaire Franklin to the […]
