Link to storyColts | Alex Tanney set to join Indianapolis Wed Feb 7, 12:46 PM
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Alex Tanney is expected to join the offensive coaching staff of the Indianapolis Colts, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Tanney gets to work with potential franchise QB Anthony Richardson. After working with Eagles' QB Jalen Hurts, Tanney should be able to help Richardson as he enters his second season. Richardson is incredibly talented, but he plays with no regard for his safety. Thus, Richardson is banged up quite a bit. We'll see if that can change in 2024 under Tanney's guidance. |

Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent WR Michael Pittman Jr. likely will be a candidate for the franchise tag if the two sides are not able to reach a long-term contract, in the opinion of ColtsWire's Cody Manning.
Footballguys view: Pittman is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2024, but we don't think he gets to the open market. Instead, the Colts should work diligently to get Pittman a contract that makes him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. We'd imagine Pittman will get a contract that pays him more than $25 million annually. |
Colts | Gardner Minshew would like to settle with a team Sat Feb 3, 10:06 AM
Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent QB Gardner Minshew said he would like to find a team that he can stay with for a while after playing with three teams in his first five seasons in the NFL.
Footballguys view: Minshew is a good backup quarterback who can start - and win games - if need be. The Colts have Anthony Richardson as their starter and potential franchise quarterback. However, we learned in 2023 (with 60 different starters at quarterback league-wide) that every team needs two quarterbacks. The Colts have almost $59 million in cap space, so keeping Minshew is an option. |

Colts | Zack Moss open to returning Fri Jan 26, 03:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent RB Zack Moss said he is open to re-signing with the Colts this offseason, according to The Indianapolis Star's Nate Atkins.
Footballguys view: Moss was among the league leaders in rushing while Jonathan Taylor was on the PUP list at the beginning of the season. He upped his profile in both fantasy and NFL circles and should be at least a trusted backup, if not a committee back somewhere next season. If he returns to the Colts, he'll be draftable in typical leagues as a high injury upside bench stash. |

Colts | Two coaches will not return Wed Jan 24, 05:40 PM
Indianapolis Colts defensive line coach Nate Ollie and assistant defensive backs coach Mike Mitchell will not have their contracts renewed this offseason, according to a source.
Footballguys view: The Colts want more from their defense in 2024. They were pushing for the postseason, but they were doing that with QB Gardner Minshew under center. With potential franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson returning in 2024, the team will want to take that next step - which is a playoff run. To do that, they want some changes on defense. |

Link to storyColts | Jim Irsay update Wed Jan 17, 09:12 AM
Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was found unresponsive, with a blue skin tone and struggling to breathe when he was taken to the hospital by ambulance Dec. 8. Paramedics administered a dose or Narcan, and he responded slightly. 'He is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible,' the Colts said. 'We'll have no additional information at this time and we ask that you respect the privacy of Jim and his family as he recovers.'
Footballguys view: Irsay has not been seen publicly since December as he continues to recover from this incident. The next time he would be scheduled for public appearance is the NFL's league meetings at the end of March. Let's hope for his continued recovery. |
Colts | Anthony Richardson won't change style Fri Jan 12, 11:26 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder) said he doesn't need to overhaul his style of play despite suffering an injury last year. 'But I don't think I have to change the way I play,' Richardson said. 'Just being a little smarter.'
Footballguys view: He's going to have to play with safety in mind. Richardson plays with no regard for his safety, and that's not going to last in the NFL. He can still be a dangerous runner, but he's going to have to slide more as a runner and sometimes "self-sack" if the pressure is too much in the pocket. He's an exciting young player, but durability is certainly a concern with the way he plays. |

It seems like he's right on track to return at some point this offseason with a plan of being a full participant when training camp opens in the summer. |
