Training camps across the NFL are getting started as the season looms just around the corner. Rookie training camp is already underway for many teams, and veterans are soon to follow. Most of the juicy offseason moves are now in the rear-view mirror, but some big-name players remain unsigned. One of the most notable players […]

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard is underrated. Colts fans understand how talented he is, but Madden 23 gave him just a 90 overall. Granted, a 90 is not bad. But Leonard is arguably the best linebacker in the NFL. 49ers linebacker Fred Warner also shared his top 10 linebackers in the NFL right now. Warner […]

Many have the Indianapolis Colts pegged as the favorites in the AFC South. We’ll see how it plays out though, as the Tennessee Titans still have a talented roster without AJ Brown. Regardless, this franchise is going to be competitive but could use an upgrade in a couple of key areas. For that reason, we […]

The Indianapolis Colts enter the 2022 NFL season looking to finish what they started. The Colts looked like a lock to make the playoffs, just needing to beat the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars to clinch a berth. They then lost in shocking fashion to just barely miss out on the postseason. Indianapolis has given its roster […]

2021 was a year of change in the NFL. Since 1978, the league had been accustomed to 16 regular-season contests per team, and since 1990, 12 available postseason spots was the norm. Both things changed in the last two years, with the league (intentionally) adapting an 18-week schedule for the first time in ’21 and […]

After missing the playoffs in the 2021 season, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard took it upon himself to go all out to revamp the roster over the opening months of the offseason.

The Indianapolis Colts seemed destined for the playoffs in 2021 until their season collapsed down the stretch. Despite boasting a 9-6 record through their first 15 games, the Colts bottled the campaign by losing each of its last two games to finish 9-8. The late-season failure led to some pretty significant changes in Indy, most […]

The Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts made some big moves in the offseason at their quarterback position. Both franchises landed two amazing quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan, respectively. After years of riding the QB carousel, Denver and Indy finally have their star quarterback.

The NFL community is mourning the loss of Tony Siragusa. The former Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle passed away at 55. Players and coaches have expressed their grief, remembering their beloved former teammate, “Goose.” Brian Billick was the Ravens’ head coach during the latter half of Siragusa’s career in Baltimore. Billick remembers Siragusa […]

During his run with the Atlanta Falcons, Matt Ryan did not necessarily have a consistent running game that he could lean on. Just last season, the Falcons ranked at 31st in rushing yards per game with an 85.4 average. But now with the Indianapolis Colts, the veteran quarterback is looking ahead to having a balanced […]

If there is one player in the NFL who knows just what Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan has gone through over the past months, it is Matthew Stafford. Stafford spent the opening 12 years of his career with the Detroit Lions before the team opted to ship him off to the Los Angeles Rams. This […]

Indianapolis Colts safety Khari Willis announced his retirement at just age 26. The news is shocking without question, as Willis was expected to play a big role for the Colts this season. However, Willis shared a specific reason for retiring which Tim Tebow and Russell Wilson will surely appreciate. “I have elected to officially retire […]

The Indianapolis Colts looked playoff-bound in 2021, as they were 9-6 and well-positioned for a spot in the postseason before they lost each of their last two games, one of them to the horrible Jacksonville Jaguars. Such a collapse spelled the end for quarterback Carson Wentz, who was subsequently dealt to the Washington Commanders this […]

It’s been an interesting offseason for the Indianapolis Colts. They’ve made subtle moves to improve the roster but it’s still not clear whether or not they have a team equipped to win the AFC South. Regardless, the franchise is on pins and needles as star linebacker Darius Leonard recovers from surgery. The franchise received a […]

Many believe the Indianapolis Colts are the favorites in the AFC South this year and for good reason. After acquiring Matt Ryan via trade, the franchise is making its third attempt at utilizing a veteran quarterback to lead the way. Although Ryan is a shell of his former self, he still has some juice left […]

Although the Carson Wentz blockbuster trade happened months ago, the Indianapolis Colts are working to shake off the bad breakup and work with new quarterback Matt Ryan. After Wentz failed to work with head coach Frank Reich, who first helped unlock his talents, Indy has to prove that their fifth quarterback in five years is worth […]

The Indianapolis Colts were hit with a troubling injury blow early on at mandatory minicamp.

The Indianapolis Colts are hoping to make some noise in the 2022 season, as the AF South has become a wide-open race for this franchise and the Tennessee Titans. However, Indianapolis has been facing a tough decision regarding Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II. He’s been in contract negotiations with the front office, but it […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are officially in a new era with Ben Roethlisberger officially retired.

However, there are a few areas that could still use some improvement, which opens up the possibility of another acquisition. With that […]

The Indianapolis Colts have decidedly moved on from Carson Wentz this offseason, instead shifting their attention to Matt Ryan as their next starting QB. With Jonathan Taylor primed for another chance to lead the league in rushing, what type of trade targets should the Colts go after to upgrade their 2022 roster? Watch NFL football […]

Even as the Indianapolis Colts have completed just three days from their OTAs schedule, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is already quite a fan of Matt Ryan. As expected, the Colts’ new starting quarterback was the main attraction at the team’s OTAs this past week, as he completed several keen throws to wideouts such as […]

The Indianapolis Colts have struggled to find a franchise quarterback ever since the shocking retirement of Andrew Luck. They’ve gone through a slew of guys since, from the likes of Jacoby Brissett to Philip Rivers to more recently, Carson Wentz. This offseason, they brought in former MVP Matt Ryan from the Falcons. More recently, the […]

The Indianapolis Colts have made numerous moves in the hopes of becoming a playoff contender once again. With a strong defense coupled with a decent offense, they’ll have a legitimate shot in the upcoming season. However, they could use a boost from their prospects to get them over the hump to win the AFC South […]

The Indianapolis Colts have officially reshaped their whole quarterback room by signing Nick Foles to be the backup to Matt Ryan. In a move that certainly (albeit, probably indirectly) shows they are through with Carson Wentz, the Colts signed the former Super Bowl MVP to provide depth behind their new star quarterback and reunite him […]

One of the most iconic Super Bowl victories of all time, the Philadelphia Eagles’ toppling of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII was in large part thanks to Nick Foles. The 2012 third-round pick became the Eagles’ starter late in the season and navigated the team to a championship, earning the Super Bowl […]

Even after the Indianapolis Colts traded for one-time NFL MVP winner Matt Ryan earlier in the offseason, they could be on the verge of hauling in another former MVP. This time around, the Colts are aiming to reunite head coach Frank Reich with Super Bowl 52 MVP winner Nick Foles. As noted by the NFL […]

The Indianapolis Colts are ready to get to work and try to make it back to the playoffs. However, T.Y. Hilton is still a free agent and there is no strong belief that the franchise’s lead wide receiver will be back this offseason. He may not be back at all, for any team. Hilton wants […]

Carson Wentz wasn’t exactly awful during his one-year stint with the Indianapolis Colts. His statistics were certainly respectable and if it wasn’t for that last game of the season where they blew the chance to make the playoffs, Wentz could still be in Indy. But, that is not the reality. Colts GM Jim Irsay even […]

The Indianapolis Colts had a disappointing 9-8 season in 2021 which led them to narrowly missing the playoffs. The frustrating finish led to a great deal of change this offseason. Most notably was the trading of Carson Wentz and the addition of Matt Ryan who is expected to take over as the starting quarterback. The […]

The Indianapolis Colts possess perhaps the NFL’s best running back in Jonathan Taylor, who led the league in both rushing yards and touchdowns in a career year. Despite that, the Colts went out in the offseason and added this veteran running back as depth behind Taylor. Former NFL Scouting director Mike McCartney has the latest. […]

The end of the Indianapolis Colts’ 2021 season was painful for the franchise. They lost out on the chance to make the playoffs at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The loss was particularly hurtful for Darius Leonard. Leonard, on top of dealing with COVID-19 and an ankle injury, felt completely defeated after the Colts’ […]

Even with Matt Ryan on the roster, the Indianapolis Colts are still looking to add to the quarterback position on their roster. During the Colts rookie minicamp on Friday afternoon, reporters asked head coach Frank Reich about the possibility of bringing in a veteran quarterback behind Ryan, and the fifth-year coach did not rule out […]

It has been an eventful offseason for the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts had a 9-8 record in 2021 and narrowly missed the playoffs in a disappointing fashion.

The most recent report is that the Colts will target the recently released New York Giants cornerback James Bradberry to […]

The Indianapolis Colts had a 9-8 record in 2021 and were eliminated from playoff contention thanks to a disappointing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars to end the season.

Matt Ryan has begun his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. After going through the Carson Wentz experience, Indianapolis looked to give Frank Reich a better veteran to try to get the Colts back into the playoffs. Even before a game has been played, Ryan already looks like an upgrade over Wentz. His presence in practice has […]

At one point during the 2021 regular season, the Indianapolis Colts were deemed as a dark horse contender to make a deep run in the NFL playoffs. However, this all changed over the Colts’ final two games of the campaign. The Colts came away with a narrow three-point loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in […]

This offseason, just like last year, has been no different, as Leonard has had to answer questions about the state of his health.
