Stampede Blue
The Colts are coming off a rather disappointing season in which they finished with a losing 8-9 record and also missed the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. The Colts are now entering a very pivotal offseason, and under the leadership of GM Chris Ballard and HC Shane Steichen will have to address the big question marks on the roster during the offseason.
The Colts have a lot of needs on their roster from tight end to safety and more. There is plenty to delve into and we at Stampede Blue plan on doing just that. From looking at the Colts overall team needs, profiling each Colts free agent to be and discussing whether or not they should be re-signed, looking at potential free agent additions from outside the team and also looking into potential draft fits. The Colts now head into arguably the most important part of the offseason, in terms of roster turnover, which kicks off with the Reeses Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
