Colts’ crowded offensive cupboard is PFF’s ‘reason for optimism’ for 2025 campaign

The Colts are sneaky good on offense, but it also may come down to what kind of consistent play they get at starting quarterback.

According to PFF, one reason for optimism for the Indianapolis Colts headed into the 2025 campaign is what appears to be a pretty talented and crowded cupboard of offensive playmakers:

Indianapolis Colts: Loaded arsenal of offensive weapons

Whoever starts at quarterback for the Colts this season certainly won’t have a shortage of weaponry with which to work. Star running back Jonathan Taylor is coming off a 1,400-yard season. Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs...

Colts Reacts Survey Results: Offseason Edition

How are you feeling about this year’s offseason, Colts fans?

The Indianapolis Colts have had a busy offseason, which has been highlighted in free agency by the secondary signings of safety Camryn Bynum and cornerback Charvarius Ward, as well as the addition of veteran free agent quarterback Daniel Jones on offense.

Not to mention, the Colts selected in the first round one of the top tight end prospects in this year’s draft class, Tyler Warren, at a position that’s desperately needed a consistently productive receiving option over the middle of the field.

Because of those improvements, Colts fans are feeling...

Will the offense or defense find more success for the Colts in 2025?

Will the offense or defense find more success for the Colts in 2025?

New looks to both but which unit will rise above?

Rosters change every year in sports, and this is especially true in the NFL. Fielding the largest rosters creates the most opportunity for change. While the Indianapolis Colts didn’t undergo the largest roster haul ever, they did make more moves than normal considering last year was essentially a “run it back” type of season. Regarding the major changes, which unit stands to benefit the most and see the greatest improvement?

Neither the offense nor the defense was stellar last year. The defense experienced some key injuries, and the offense never...

PFF lists Colts as one of five ‘overlooked teams’ headed into 2025 season

Are we talking enough about the 2025 Indianapolis Colts?

According to PFF’s Dalton Wasserman, the Indianapolis Colts are one of five ‘overlooked teams’ headed into the 2025 season:

Indianapolis Colts

All eyes this summer will be on the Colts’ brewing quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Both have underwhelmed as former top-10 picks due to subpar performance and injury issues. Head coach Shane Steichen has proven before, though, that he can create offensive production without elite quarterback play.

Two years ago, after Richardson suffered a season-ending injury, the Colts were extremely close to...

Excitement grows for Colts’ new weapon

Excitement grows for Colts’ new weapon

It’s early, but Tyler Warren is creating a lot of buzz.

A team’s first round draft pick is always going to be the focus of a lot of attention as things get underway to start the season. The Indianapolis Colts mandatory minicamp created exactly that type of buzz as Tyler Warren started to turn some heads. He was the target all along; an uber talented and athletic presence that could come in right way and elevate a tight end unit that struggled dramatically last year. So far, so good as Warren has come in and impressed the media and coaching...

Colts OC ‘very pleased’ with WR AD Mitchell’s spring, but consistency remains key

Colts’ WR AD Mitchell could have a breakout Year 2, as the initial offseason returns have been very promising.

According to Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, 2nd-year wideout AD Mitchell’s spring has been “really, really good,” including being impressed with his attitude, but consistency remains key (via 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen):

There’s no question that after selecting Mitchell in the 2nd round of last year’s NFL Draft, that the young wideout has all the talent in the world—including the elite ability to separate at the top of his routes, but slid a bit because of alleged ‘maturity...

Colts head coach Shane Steichen on QB Daniel Jones: ‘He’s been doing a hell of a job’

Colts head coach Shane Steichen on QB Daniel Jones: ‘He’s been doing a hell of a job’

The early offseason returns for Colts QB Daniel Jones have been encouraging, but cautious optimism is still required going forward.

According to head coach Shane Steichen, new Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been doing a ‘hell of a job’ through OTAs and minicamp with the team—acknowledging ‘he’s been very pleased’ with his offense’s veteran addition so far (via WISH-TV’s Anthony Calhoun):

It’s not necessarily surprising that Jones has looked pretty good so far through non-contact, on-field offseason drills, as his accuracy can really shine on shorter-to-intermediate throws.

The Colts bested the Minnesota Vikings in free agency by paying Jones...

According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts have a plan in place to monitor 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson’s sore right throwing shoulder over the next six weeks until NFL training camp begins (via The IndyStar’s Nate Atkins):

The status of Richardson’s surgically right repaired throwing shoulder is a big question mark already facing the 2025 Colts before the regular season (and even camp) has even begun.

While Richardson sought another medical opinion earlier this week from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the renowned L.A. based surgeon who initially...

Colts PK Spencer Shrader reportedly has slight leg up in open kicking competition

Colts PK Spencer Shrader reportedly has slight leg up in open kicking competition

Spencer Shrader appears to be in the driver’s seat to win the Colts starting kicking job this offseason, but it’s not a given.

The Indianapolis Colts surprised many by re-signing place kicker Spencer Shrader back to their roster earlier this offseason.

The Colts already had veteran (and former Pro Bowler) Matt Gay in the fold, who was one of the highest paid kickers in football, and had prospects of minimal cap savings—should he surprisingly be released.

We now know that the Colts really valued Shrader, especially having seen him kick for both the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs...
