The Colts have already made a number of significant moves this offseason, including the acquisition of Matt Ryan. While his arrival is expected to help the team’s offense, Indianapolis may not be done adding to their defense. 
In an interview with the team’s website, owner Jim Irsay hinted at the possibility of a splashy move on that side of the ball. The Colts already added edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue via a trade with the Raiders earlier this month. They also have, of course, the likes of Darius Leonard and DeForest Buckner as high-profile members of the unit. The Colts ranked ninth in scoring defense in 2021.
“There could be – it would have to be at the right price – an addition that excites some” Irsay said. “But we’ll see. [General manager] Chris Ballard is looking hard at that. It has to be the right guy at the right number. One more veteran to come in and make a big difference.”
After Bobby Wagner signed with the Rams yesterday, the list of established stars who are still available is even shorter. If the team is eyeing an upgrade in the secondary, options could include safety Tyrann Mathieu and cornerback Stephon Gilmore, both of whom should remain productive throughout any short- or medium-term deals that they sign.
The Colts currently have some of the most flexibility in the league from a financial standpoint. With over $20MM to work with in cap space, affordability shouldn’t be an issue in terms of landing a free agent. As they look to rebound from the disappointing end to 2021, then, they could be in store for another significant addition in the near future.
Colts rework some comtracts, add gilmore mathieu and some veteran depth like Chris Harris and/or Janoris Jenkins to the secondary plus add a receiver and pass rusher in the draft theyd increase their contender chances.
Maybe round 2 they add a receiver like David Bell
Maybe round 3 they add an edge rusher like myjai sanders, sam williams, drake jackson if they are there.
If they add ANOTHER edge after drafting two last year and trading for another this year then Ballard has to go.
You can never have enough pass rushers. Esp in a pass happy league. Plus depth gives guys rest if you can rotate them through.
Already
Another trade with the Falcons but this time for Grady Jarrett? His extension talks have been slow and he might not want to be part of a rebuild.
Colts Don’t need another inside lineman.
Colts don’t pay big money to anyone outside their organization (QBs not withstanding)
I find it comical that the Colts are being coy here. Their “splashy” move of trading for Wentz was a disaster by their own admission. They better pray they have a positive result with the next one or Ballard will find himself unemployed.
Hopefully Reich and Irsay join him.
Irsay is a babbling drunk like his father, who knows nothing about running a football organization and knows zilch about evaluating football talent.
You’re an idiot.
236 Wins – 165 Loses = 4th Best Record in the NFL over the past 25 years since Irsay became owner of team….I guess I’ll have what he is drinking.
I’m more curious as to why that picture was used. It’s hilarious.
I’d get Mathieu and try pinch Harris or Haden on a cheap deal to come play CB
