Colts Coverage
INDIANAPOLIS – If you look at the Chris Ballard focus wanting to get “younger, faster” on defense this offseason, then a 30-year-old Samson Ebukam would appear unlikely to return. But Ballard singled out Ebukam specifically during his season-ending press conference. The Colts GM was pleased with how Ebukam looked in 2025, prior to a knee […]
Will Cincinnati Bengals Franchise Tag Trey Hendrickson? The Indianapolis Colts have been searching for a dominant disrupter for over a decade since Robert Mathis retired. One of the NFL’s best EDGE rushers since the start of the 2020 season, Trey Hendrickson, has been very disgruntled with the Cincinnati Bengals. Hendrickson, 31, recorded 70.5 sacks between […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The Lou Anarumo family tree was tapped into quite a few times by the Colts last season. And the success of going down that path wasn’t too immense. But Germaine Pratt was a nice in-season addition. The Colts brought Pratt in during the month of October after he started the season with the […]
INDIANAPOLIS – I would call Nick Cross the hardest free agency decision for the Colts in 2026. Cross had a strong contract year, capping his rookie deal as the ascending player the Colts had pegged when drafting him at the age of 20 in 2022. Unlike many of the recent draft picks on the defensive […]
INDIANAPOLIS – It was a Lou Anarumo quote late in the season not directly about Kwity Paye, but certainly could apply to his 5-year NFL career. “You want to,” Anarumo began, “got to be able to set the edge and rush the passer, and maybe not necessarily in that order.” Calling Paye a strong edge […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Typically, a diminished role in a contract year doesn’t smell good news for that player. But I’m not ready to say that’s the case for tight end Drew Ogletree having just competed his rookie contract. First, the arrival of Tyler Warren led to the Colts tight end roles changing significantly from 2025 to […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Will the longest tenured Colts offensive player, one who hasn’t missed a game in 5 years, be back in Indy? That’s the case for 32-year-old Mo Alie-Cox as he once again hits free agency. With the arrival of Tyler Warren, that allowed for a player like Alie-Cox to slide into a role that […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The first date to watch when it comes to the future of Alec Pierce and the Colts is a two-week window beginning on February 17th. Starting on the 17th, NFL teams will have two weeks to use the franchise tag. That window ends on March 3rd. If the Colts don’t use the tag, […]
INDIANAPOLIS – It’s been quite a while since the Colts had their starting quarterback bound for free agency, and also have a major desire to bring that player back. But that’s undoubtedly the case with Daniel Jones. Publicly, there’s been mutual praise from both the Colts, and Jones, about this marriage continuing. And that’s typically […]
Colts GM Ballard struggles to explain late-season collapses, acknowledges need to improve team's ability to handle adversity.
INDIANAPOLIS – Can you tell the story of the National Football League without Adam Vinatieri? Of course not. That old saying when evaluating players for the Pro Football Hall of Fame has led to Vinatieri being an extremely deserving choice for Canton, Ohio. “Adam Vinatieri is one of the most accomplished athletes football or any other […]
