Think back to last offseason. What were your expectations for the Indianapolis Colts? Remember that last year saw Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson fighting to be the starting quarterback while neither had a training camp to write home about. I’m not saying all fans felt impending doom, but if you’re being honest, you’ve felt better. The bar was low. This offseason, however, is up in the air. It could go either way, and that has to make Colts fans feel less than comfortable.

The low bar was quickly cleared in 2025 and then came crashing down on top of the...

According to ESPN’s Mike Clay, Aaron Schatz, and Seth Walder, the Indianapolis Colts have the league’s 20th best roster overall, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for either winning the division or returning to the playoffs (although yes, it’s only an arbitrary ranking, and all thirty-two teams will still have to prove it on the field throughout the upcoming 2026 campaign):

20. Indianapolis Colts

Biggest strength: Running back. Jonathan Taylor is one of the league’s best backs and is fresh off a terrific 2025 campaign in which he led the NFL in carries and touchdowns while also finishing...

While he didn’t rank among the top ten players at his position, Indianapolis Colts ascending 3rd-year edge Laiatu Latu did receive some votes for being under such lofty consideration, via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, in his annually conducted league survey among NFL executives, coaches, and scouts:

Also receiving votes: Travon Walker, Jaelan Phillips, Montez Sweat, Laiatu Latu, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith

It’s worth noting that new Cleveland Brown Jared Verse, who was originally taken four spots at #19 after the Colts selected Latu with the 15th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft actually received an “Honorable Mention.”

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, and an annual league survey conducted by league executives, coaches, and scouts, Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner surprisingly slid in the latest rankings—descending from 5th to 9th overall at his position following his trade from the New York Jets:

9. Sauce Gardner, Indianapolis Colts

Highest ranking: 5 | Lowest ranking: Unranked
Age: 24 | Last year’s ranking: 5

Once again, Gardner is the most polarizing cornerback on the list. He’s a star player who is paid like one and garnered two first-round picks in a midseason trade from the New...

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, and his annual league survey conducted by league executives, coaches, and scouts, Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor ranks among the top five players at his position:

5. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts

Highest ranking: 2 | Lowest ranking: Unranked
Age: 27 | Last year’s ranking: 7

Taylor was pumping out top-three votes this year in appreciation of a stellar six-year campaign despite shaky quarterback play around him. He appeared on all but one of the ballots, and nearly 30% of his votes were within the top three.

It’s officially the dog days of the NFL offseason, as it’s the stretch of time between the end of free agency, the NFL Draft, organized team activities, and team training camps—which will kick off later this fresh new month of July.

Without a first round pick, the Colts’ biggest moves this offseason were the re-signing of both starting quarterback Daniel Jones and lead wideout Alec Pierce to lucrative multi-year contract extensions.

Still, it’s one of the few offseasons in recent memory where the Colts have a handful of starting positional battles that are up for grabs during training camp, not...

It’s summertime in Indiana. The days are hot, too hot with the current heatwave sweeping the nation, but news regarding the Indianapolis Colts is ice cold. The time between minicamps and training camp makes for some long days for those thirsting for football related updates. If there is a good time to take a break from all things Colts, today is it as the United States celebrates 250 years.

The Colts sought to capture “Indiana nights” when they rolled out their alternate jerseys. This could be an iconic Indiana night for Hoosiers as we enjoy food, family, and firework displays....

This six-part Colts What If series looks back at some of the biggest turning points in franchise history, from the Peyton Manning draft decision to playoff heartbreak, quarterback pivots and coaching chaos, while revisiting what happened, what could have changed, and how different the Colts might look if one major moment had gone the other way.

For the final piece, there was only one place this series could end.

Andrew Luck’s retirement is the biggest what-if in Colts history, and honestly, one of the biggest NFL what-ifs since 2000. Some moments change a game and some change a season. Luck...

With our current cap situation, it would not appear that we would cut a player for the sole reason of saving money. What would be other reasons to cut a player that most would consider a part of this coming year’s team? An injury is always a possibility, as well as the emergence of a younger or less expensive player. One other possibility might be that the player wants to be gone and a trade partner can’t be found.

According to Spotrac, we sit just shy of 32 million dollars, under the cap, which is good for 7th most in...

We previously looked at the current rumors surrounding Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts from the team’s perspective. Given Taylor’s ability and high skill level, moving on from him at this point would be unwise. There appears to be plenty left in the tank, and it could produce second thoughts for the Colts if they chose that path. That is the team side, but what about Taylor himself? Should he be considering whether the grass is greener on the other side?

Since Taylor appears to have more seasons left in his legs, does he want to use those on the...

OK. Things at this point are getting a little uncomfortable. One would think that the Indianapolis Colts had learned their lesson when it comes to Jonathan Taylor after that disastrous offseason three years ago, but it looks like we are headed for a rinse and repeat cycle. The rumor mill is picking up and speculation is running wild about what the Colts will do with Taylor. Trade destinations are being proposed and perceived compensation put into the ether. Could the Colts really make such a move?

In short, why not? Everyone is expendable. If the Colts are willing to move...
