Report: Colts have recently re-engaged free agent starting safety Julian Blackmon in contract discussions

Could starter Julian Blackmon return at safety after all to help shore up the backend of the Colts secondary?

According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, the Indianapolis Colts have re-engaged starting free agent safety Julian Blackmon in recent contract discussions:

“(Chris) Ballard strongly suggested there would be roster moves to come, particularly in the secondary,” writes Holder. “The Colts, he said, have re-engaged with safety Julian Blackmon, their 2020 third-round pick who remains on the market after visits to the Bills and 49ers in the past week. The Colts are also likely to consider a cornerback with their first-round draft...

Report: Colts hosted Texans veteran free agent safety Kareem Jackson on Wednesday

Could a longtime AFC South safety be joining the Colts to help boost the backend of their secondary?

According to NFL reporter Howard Balzer, Houston Texans veteran free agent safety Kareem Jackson visited the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday:

Originally a 2010 first round pick of Houston, the longtime Texans (and former Denver Broncos) safety is coming off a 2023 season with both teams in which he recorded 53 tackles (37 solo), 2 interceptions, and 3 passes defensed during 10 games (8 starts).

Now 35 years old, Jackson’s best pro football days are presumably behind him, but it’s possible he may...

Colts team owner Jim Irsay is a ‘tough dude’ who’s ‘getting better every day’

Colts team owner Jim Irsay continues to recover from health issues, but the latest report is that he’s progressing.

According to vice chair Kalen Jackson on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ her father and team owner/CEO of the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Irsay, is ‘a tough dude’ who’s ‘getting better every day’ as he presumably recovers from a recent leg surgery that required hospitalization:

Mcafee said Tuesday on his show, “I heard it was not good. Right? Is that accurate? Your dad’s a tough dude.”

“He is a tough dude,” Jackson responded. “Of course, without going into specifics of...

Colts’ recent moves are based on the idea that Anthony Richardson can shoulder the load

Colts’ recent moves are based on the idea that Anthony Richardson can shoulder the load

The Colts have focused on retaining most of last year’s team with the thought that Richardson will propel them forward.

Anthony Richardson, of the Indianapolis Colts, was on full display during first round action of the NCAA basketball tournament at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday. Images of him on the jumbotron got the fans going inside the fieldhouse. Then, sights of him swinging his arm 360 degrees made fans on the internet go wild. After witnessing him in a sling for the majority of his rookie campaign, watching that full rotation was a thing of beauty. For Richardson’s sake, he better...

Colts optimistic QB Anthony Richardson will be ‘good to go’ for spring practice

Colts head coach Shane Steichen offered some words of encouragement and high praise for his young quarterback.

According to his head coach Shane Steichen, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is expected to be ‘good to go’ for spring practice (via ESPN’s Stephen Holder):

Richardson has already resumed throwing the football as he continues to rehab and recover from season-ending shoulder surgery. Judging from how he looked on Friday cheering on the Florida Gators men’s basketball team in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, it appears as though Richardson’s throwing shoulder has fully mended.

Steichen is in attendance this week...

JuJu Brents has a massive chance to earn his stripes in 2024

JuJu Brents has a massive chance to earn his stripes in 2024

With a full season under his belt, JuJu Brents may prove he is Indianapolis’ best perimeter defender.

An opportunity for a breakout campaign is destined for the hometown Colt.

JuJu Brents can become the shutdown cornerback to salvage the Colts secondary and shadow an opponents’ best receiver. Last April, NFL scouts clamored over his 6-foot-3 frame and 82⅞-inch wingspan, the longest wingspan ever recorded at his position in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. After securing franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, Indianapolis selected Brents with the No. 44 pick in...

Chris Ballard’s reticence to change his approach will end up losing him the job

Chris Ballard’s reticence to change his approach will end up losing him the job

“A mistake repeated more than twice, is a decision” Paulo Coelho

That is just one of many tweets seen this morning, as cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was traded to division rivals Tennessee Titans. Sneed was rumoured to be on the Colts’ radar and for a week it seemed like the trade would be announced at any given moment. Colts’ general manager was reportedly not sure about giving out a big extension to Sneed, and the rest is history.

It is deja-vu for us Colts’ fans, as once again we are irate at Chris Ballard in March for refusing to make big...

Colts’ problems go deeper than losing out on L’Jarius Sneed

Colts’ problems go deeper than losing out on L’Jarius Sneed

Missing out on one player won’t seemingly make a difference. Missing out on player after player over the years does.

The Indianapolis Colts lost to a division foe yet again. Instead of it being to the Houston Texans with the season on the line, this time, it was to the Tennessee Titans in the L’Jarius Sneed sweepstakes. According to some, the Colts were the frontrunner. According to others, they weren’t even playing the game. Either way, they missed out on an opportunity to bring in a player who could make a major difference to improve a less than stellar defensive...

Titans top Colts in ‘L’Jarius Sneed trade sweepstakes’ to the tune of $55M guaranteed

The Colts were interested in trading for Chiefs franchise-tagged free agent cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, but they had contractual limits—unlike their AFC South rival. But at what cost?

It turns out that prized Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will be joining the AFC South after all.

Except that it won’t be to the Indianapolis Colts anytime soon.

A week after it was reported that “Sneed to the Colts was being finalized,” amidst conflicting reports, he’s now set to play for the Colts divisional rival Tennessee Titans—to the tune of 4-years, $76 million with a whopping $55 million guaranteed.
