Should the Colts spend draft capital on a quarterback this year?

Should the Colts spend draft capital on a quarterback this year?

The Colts are taking a long look at the quarterback out of Texas.

The Indianapolis Colts selected a quarterback out of Texas in 2021. A lot of fans loved what they saw out of Sam Ehlinger in the preseason which prompted some to call for him to get the starting role on one or more occasions over the years. What we saw out of Ehlinger during the regular season was underwhelming. The Colts aren’t holding that against other quarterbacks coming out of Texas as they are brining in Quinn Ewers for a top 30 visit. Is there a chance the...

Colts in attendance for Ohio State’s loaded Pro Day

The Indianapolis Colts made the trip to Columbus, OH to get a closer look at the reigning National Champion’s draft prospects.

The Indianapolis Colts traveled across state lines to get a closer look at the reigning National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes, the program who’s expected to pump out the most NFL talent this draft cycle.

With potentially 15 Buckeyes looking to hear their name called a month from now, the Colts did their due diligence in joining 141 NFL personnel in attendance of the most star-studded Pro Day that this draft cycle has to offer. Of those Colts personnel members...

Colts GM Chris Ballard comments on headliners of free agency haul, upcoming QB competition

Colts GM Chris Ballard comments on headliners of free agency haul, upcoming QB competition

The Colts made a recent surprising splash in free agency, and longtime GM Chris Ballard provided some interesting commentary and analysis.

On ‘Behind the Colts’ produced by the Indianapolis Colts, longtime general manager Chris Ballard commented on the headliners of his recent surprising 2025 free agency haul, the team’s resulting upcoming quarterback competition, and his newfound offseason flexibility:


Camryn Bynum, Safety

“We liked him coming out of college,” Ballard said. “We saw the instincts. We saw the ball skills, which has absolutely translated to our league. He takes the ball away, and he has a nose for...

Colts need these second year players to make significant jumps

Colts need these second year players to make significant jumps

They aren’t rookies anymore. It’s time to stop playing like one.

Every team would love nothing more than to draft the offensive or defensive rookie of the year. Although it doesn’t always translate to the best overall career, it provides instant validation that the team most likely got it right. The Indianapolis Colts didn’t have that honor this year, but they have two high draft picks from last year’s draft who they hope take a giant step forward. We saw potential and flashes from one, while the other appears to have a long way to go.

Colts must consider modifying game plan before history repeats itself

Colts must consider modifying game plan before history repeats itself

There’s a possibility Penn State tight end Tyler Warren may be too good of a prospect for an NFL team to pass up on drafting him before the Colts pick at No. 14 overall. If Warren is taken, the Colts war room will have to adjust the game plan and explore other options in real time during the NFL Draft.

With one month before the 2025 NFL Draft begins at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Indianapolis Colts still have vital holes to fill on the depth chart.

Perhaps the two most important positions for the Colts to address for...

Former NFL GM projects prized Penn State TE to Colts in latest ESPN Mock Draft

Another mock draft. Another projected Penn State tight end Tyler Warren pick for the Colts. Will he be there though?

According to ESPN’s Mike Tannebaum (via subscription), a former NFL general manager, the Indianapolis Colts will come away with prized Penn State tight end Tyler Warren in his latest mainstream 2025 NFL Mock Draft—selecting him with the 14th overall pick:

14. Indianapolis Colts

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

This is a crucial year for the Colts. It’s time to put some playmakers around Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones, who I assume will eventually get some...

Colts are doing their due diligence on Texas QB Quinn Ewers

The Indianapolis Colts are taking their time to check off any boxes they have left for the polarizing quarterback prospect.

With the quarterback situation in Indianapolis holding an uncertain future, the Colts electing to draft one in the upcoming NFL Draft cannot be overlooked.

This possibility remains a real opportunity for the Indianapolis Colts to double-dip, via free agency and the NFL Draft, at the league’s most important position. The franchise has placed emphasis on adding competition to the quarterback room, and while more immediate competition has already been added with the free agent signing of former Top 10 pick...

PFF lists Colts adding free agent QB Daniel Jones as team’s ‘signing with most upside’

Can Daniel Jones finally fulfill his franchise quarterback promise and potential in Indianapolis?

According to PFF, the Indianapolis Colts signing former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is their 2025 free agent addition with the most upside:

Indianapolis Colts: QB Daniel Jones

Contract: One year, $14 million

Colts fans are in for quite the offseason. A quarterback battle looms between Anthony Richardson and the newly signed Daniel Jones after the Colts handed the veteran a $14 million deal in free agency.

The upside here is obvious: If Jones wins the starting quarterback job,...

Report: Colts free agent starting safety Julian Blackmon visiting Panthers on Monday

Report: Colts free agent starting safety Julian Blackmon visiting Panthers on Monday

As expected, former Colts starting free safety Julian Blackmon is visiting other teams—with his departure presumably imminent.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts free agent starting safety Julian Blackmon is visiting the Carolina Panthers:

Originally a 2020 3rd round pick of the Colts, the 6’0,” 202 pound safety has made 62 career starts for Indianapolis over the past 5 seasons.

He’s coming off a 2024 campaign, in which he recorded 86 tackles (62 solo), a tackle for loss, 3 interceptions, 4 passes defensed, and a fumble recovery during 16 starts.

Per PFF, Blackmon was their 30th best graded...

PFF lists Colts’ WR Alec Pierce as team’s ‘best trade asset’ ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

PFF lists Colts’ WR Alec Pierce as team’s ‘best trade asset’ ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

Following a breakout 2024 campaign, Colts’ WR Alec Pierce would be an interesting trade chip, but this one appears to be more about speculation than any actual merit.

According to PFF, the Indianapolis Colts ‘best trade asset’ is soon-to-be 4th-year wideout Alec Pierce—who as a former 2022 second round pick, is entering a contract season:

Indianapolis Colts: WR Alec Pierce

Ordinarily, this could figure to be Anthony Richardson, who has underwhelmed and hardly played during his two pro seasons. But with the Colts publicly committing to a quarterback battle through at least July, Richardson probably won’t be...

Place your bets: Who will be the starting Colts quarterback in 2025?

Ballard has created competition. Will it create controversy as well?

Anthony Richardson has had a rough start to his NFL career. After missing almost his entire rookie campaign, he followed that up with an incredibly up and down second season. He continued to miss plenty of starts due to injuries and when he was on the field, he flashed some impressive traits while also struggling to move the ball consistently. That is precisely why Chris Ballrd sought to increase the competition level at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts and brought in Daniel Jones as that challenger. The competition should definitely...
