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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

The Colts are betting on former New York Giants castoff Daniel Jones creating a legitimate quarterback competition, but will this be a case of buyer’s remorse?

According to CBS Sports Garrett Podell, newly signed Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is among the ‘winners’ of the NFL’s 2025 free agency and early offseason:

Winner: New Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones has been riding the struggle bus on the football field and popping bottles of champagne off of it lately. The 2024 season marked the fourth time in the last five seasons he has started each of...

The Colts have had a solid, but unspectacular grade so far in free agency per the popular advanced football grades site.

According to PFF, the Indianapolis Colts have earned a ‘B’ grade for a 2025 free agency class to-date that has been highlighted by the signings of safety Camryn Bynum and cornerback Charvarius Ward in their revamped starting secondary:

Indianapolis Colts: B

DI Neville Gallimore

2024 PFF Grade: 49.9

2024 PFF WAR: -0.01

Contract: 1 year, $2.5 million ($1.5 million guaranteed)

PFF Projected Contract: N/A

**PFF Deal...

“He’s a great component,” Anarumo said about Ward. When it comes down to it in this league, guys are gonna have to cover elite receivers, and we’ve got an elite corner to do that.”

The Indianapolis Colts YouTube channel gave fans an inside look at how defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo will use Charvarius Ward for 2025 and beyond. In a brief yet jam-packed film breakdown, Anarumo walked through three clips of Ward’s tape and gave not only his analysis of the player but also explained his vision of utilizing the talented cornerback.

Not only that, but Anarumo dropped some nuggets...

The Bengals are playing hardball, and no one is biting.

Trey Hendrickson in an Indianapolis Colts uniform would be the cherry on top of an already productive offseason for Chris Ballard and his team. Hendrickson is coming off a career year and would be an incredibly impressive bookend on that defensive front. With DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart still clogging up the middle, teams would have less time than ever before to get the ball out against them. Anytime a team has a chance to add a 17.5 sack player who was an All-Pro and second in the Defensive Player...

Finally some activity on this front, levels of activity the Colts had not seen since the Grigson days, for better or worse.

More than a week removed from the start of the new league year, the famous “first wave” of the free-agency period is now in the books. The Colts, for the first time in a while, have been among the most active teams thus far, leaving us with a decent amount of moves to digest before we enter the second wave of free-agency and start preparing for the NFL Draft.

The Colts entered this off-season with some...

Could the Colts make another defensive free agency splash to add another starter—only this time, at the 2nd level?

According to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell (subscription), the Indianapolis Colts are among the ‘ideal landing spots’ for still unsigned Arizona Cardinals free agent linebacker Kyzir White:

Kyzir White, LB

2024 team: Cardinals

Why he’s still a free agent: Once a safety, White can be a tweener in some NFL defenses, which might see him as more of a weakside linebacker than the middle linebacker role he played in Arizona over the past two seasons. Teams prioritized...

The Colts land one of the 2025 NFL Draft’s best tight ends in this year’s class during this latest mock from a longtime draft guru.

According to longtime ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., the Indianapolis Colts will select a top Big Ten tight end in this year’s NFL Draft with the 14th overall pick—only it’ll be Michigan’s Colston Loveland instead:

14. Indianapolis Colts

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

I liked the Colts’ signings of Charvarius Ward and Camryn Bynum, so I’m less worried about the secondary than I was a few weeks ago. But...
