Colts Most Competitive Position Group – CB

The Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback room is shaping up as the team’s deepest and most contested unit heading into the 2025-26 season. General manager Chris Ballard overhauled the secondary after hiring veteran DC Lou Anarumo, targeting experienced, press-coverage corners that fit Anarumo’s aggressive scheme. The crown jewel of the offseason was Charvarius Ward, an established All-Pro cornerback. Ward (6’1″) brings Super Bowl pedigree (3 starts) and elite playmaking to Indy. In 2023 he led the NFL

Anthony Richardson Injury Update

The Colts fandom has been holding their breath for the past few weeks, hoping that Richardson's injury timeline doesn't get extended. Today, during media engagements, Chris Ballard gave out updates on the QB's condition. "Anthony is good to go. He's been throwing for about three weeks now. He's really upped his volume. First couple of weeks, we'll probably limit some volume." Anthony Richardson's surgically repaired right arm appears to have made it through OTAs with nothing more than a mino

Financial standing of the Colts salary cap table

As we prepare for rookies and veterans to report for the start of the Colts' training camp, I wanted to take a look to the future to gain a better understanding of the Colts' current financial situation, specially by looking at how they stack up compared to the rest of the league. What positions are they spending more than league standard on? What positions are they spending less on? And most importantly, why is this the case and how is it bound to change as we go into the future. Offense Fir

Colts agree to contract with their last remaining unsigned rookie

Finally, after much ado, all eight of the Colts most recent draftees have officially been signed. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, 2nd round pick J.T. Tuimoloau, the most recent addition to the Colts' formidable defensive line, has signed to a 4-year, $9.95M deal. Tuimoloau was the 45th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, coming by way of Ohio State. A former 2024 CFP National Champion, JTT is bound to be in the mix for consistent playing time during his rookie season, as his physical gifts make

What does the data say about Jonathan Taylor?

Jonathan Taylor remains one of the NFL’s most productive backs, but some stats paint a mixed picture. For example, a recent chart showed Taylor’s yards after contact (YAC) per carry at ~2.7 – well below leaders like Saquon Barkley (3.3) or Derrick Henry (3.6). On its face, that low YAC might seem at odds with Taylor’s talent. However, this statistic only tells part of the story. YAC measures how many yards a runner gains after first contact with a defender, and is widely used as a stat that neu

Colts Receiver Hierarchy: Who Will Be the Colts’ Alpha WR in 2025?

As the Indianapolis Colts gear up for the 2025 season, one pressing question is who will emerge as the team’s top wide receiver — the so-called “alpha” of the corps. Veteran Michael Pittman Jr. has long been Indy’s most reliable target, but young players Josh Downs and Alec Pierce broke out last year, and rookie Adonai Mitchell flashed tantalizing upside. As NFL.com notes, GM Chris Ballard has built “a solid receiver corps featuring a productive, underrated veteran in Pittman and young players w

Forecasting Bernhard Raimann’s Next Contract Extension

As the Indianapolis Colts look to secure long-term stability for their young core, few players have risen in value as dramatically as left tackle Bernhard Raimann. Drafted in the third round in 2022, Raimann has quickly established himself as one of the NFL’s most consistent and well-rounded offensive linemen. In a league where elite tackle play comes at a premium—and where the margin between protecting a franchise quarterback and collapsing an entire offensive strategy is razor-thin—Raimann’s p

Trey Hendrickson Trade: Cost-Benefit Analysis for the Colts

The Colts have been linked to Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, but Cincinnati’s price tag is steep. Rumors suggest Indy might offer something like DE Kwity Paye plus a mid-round pick (perhaps a third-rounder). However, insiders say the Bengals won’t settle for such a low return. Cincinnati is “angling to keep” Hendrickson – teams he’s spoken to believe the Bengals want “either a first-round pick or a strong Day 2 package” to trade him. In other words, a third-rounder plus Paye likely falls

Indianapolis Colts 2025 Draft Class: Rookie Stat Projections & Role Breakdown

With Anthony Richardson's future as the Colts' potential franchise QB up in the air, the Indianapolis Colts entered the 2025 NFL Draft with a clear mission: build around their 22-year-old QB to be able to truly evaluate him while adding plug-and-play talent throughout the roster. During the draft, General Manager Chris Ballard stayed true to his identity—prioritizing physicality, versatility, and long-term roster balance. From a tight end built to thrive in Shane Steichen’s play-action-heavy sc

Colts Draft Kansas State’s DJ Giddens: Esteemed Prospect Joins Indy’s Backfield

In the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft (pick No. 151), the Indianapolis Colts bolstered their running back room by selecting Kansas State standout DJ Giddens. General Manager Chris Ballard praised the pick in the team’s post-draft press conference, saying, “We think he’s pretty talented… I’m a big DJ fan. I think he’s got a chance to help us in a lot of different ways” . The Colts view Giddens as a versatile, hard-nosed runner who can complement star tailback Jonathan Taylor and add depth to a

Colts Fill Tight-End Void with Penn State’s Tyler Warren

The Indianapolis Colts kicked off their 2025 draft by finally addressing a glaring need: a do-it-all tight end. With their first-round pick (No. 14 overall), Indy selected Penn State’s Tyler Warren – a 6-foot-6, 257-pound “unicorn” at the position. According to ESPN analyst Stephen Holder, Warren was “targeted … for months” by the Colts and considered one of their most coveted prospects . It had looked uncertain whether he’d fall to pick 14, but when Chicago surprisingly chose Michigan’s Colston
