Chris Ballard and Indianapolis Colts are rumored to be looking at Offensive Tackle in Round 1 (No, this is not an April Fool’s prank). This news is likely shocking to many Colts fans, but we’ll talk about why it may not be the worst thing. Additionally, I want to talk more about Anthony Richardson - this time in a positive light. There’s been so much negativity surrounding his future with the Colts, but there is some reason to be optimistic. Let’s talk about it!

The Indianapolis Colts have more free agency updates, as EJ Speed has gone to the Houston Texans. This loss furthers the case that the Colts take a linebacker early in this draft, as you can argue this is the biggest hole on the team at this point in the offseason. Will Jihad Campbell become the favorite option in Colts mock drafts? We also spend a good bit of time talking about Anthony Richardson and his future with the Colts. All the great work Chris Ballard and the Colts have done this offseason will be for nothing if he doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain, but here’s the ugly truth: It doesn’t seem all that likely that he will. Let’s talk about it!

Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin has yet to record an episode of the Trenches this offseason, which is an observation that may be music to the ears of many Colts fans. With that said, I feel there’s an interesting discussion to be had here about the dynamic between NFL players and NFL fans, or in this case, Zaire Franklin and Colts fans. Let’s talk about it!

The Indianapolis Colts Offensive Line is something a lot of fans seem to be talking about, and dare I say - be concerned about. While to some degree I can understand feeling uncertain, paticularly in a critical season for Anthony Richardson, the idea that Chris Ballard and the Colts NEED to bring in help is misguided if you ask me. With all of the things to worry about this Colts offseason, this is not one of them. Let’s talk about it!

The Indianapolis Colts have had a very active offseason and free agency so far, with one of the prize acquisitions being Charvarius Ward. I was listening to his media availability on the Colts Youtube page, and the way he spoke to the Indianapolis media prompted me to get behind the mic and talk about the upside of this Colts secondary and ultimately, the Colts defense. As an added bonus, I figured I’d tell you guys how I became a Colts fan. Enjoy!

The Indianapolis Colts are in the market for a tight end, and most Colts fans are clamoring for Tyler Warren. That being said, recent Colts rumors suggest that Dallas Goedert is trade candidate for the Colts, but Chris Ballard may not even have to give anything up... Let's talk about it!

The Indianapolis Colts news cycle has started to slow down just a bit after a huge start to free agency - such is natural for this time of the year. That being said, the conversation about the QB battle between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones has only just begun. I want to take some time to talk about Anthony Richardson and his role in it today, because one thing is clear - the Colts and Chris Ballard have done their part. Now, it’s time for Anthony Richardson to do his. Enjoy!

The Indianapolis Colts continue to be active in Free Agency, this time with some lesser profile moves, but ones that address positions of need nonetheless. Khalil Herbert and Neville Gallimore are the newest members to the team; we’ll discuss how I feel about those signings. Additionally, we will take a deeper dive into where Anthony Richardson stands after the Colts signing Daniel Jones, as this is a PIVOTAL time in his life and career. Enjoy!

The Indianapolis Colts continue to have a steady flow of news to talk about during Free Agency, with the most notable of which being signing Daniel Jones to a one year deal. They also lost Will Fries, who joined Ryan Kelly on the Vikings. What are the implications of these moves for the team - more specifically Anthony Richardson and the Offensive Line?
