Colts | Jonathan Taylor able to find room in 2024 Fri Feb 7, 02:58 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ranked third in the NFL with 859 rushing yards before contact during the 2024 season.
| Footballguys view: Taylor had some ankle issues during the season, but resumed the dominant form that had him in contention to be the #1 overall pick in fantasy drafts in 2022 by the end of the season. Despite that development, he may go lower next season than the late first/early second round ADP he carried into 2024 fantasy drafts. |

Colts | Ryan Kelly expects to test market Sun Feb 2, 04:49 PM
Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent C Ryan Kelly said he would like to re-sign with the Colts this offseason but expects to talk with other teams during free agency.
| Footballguys view: Quenton Nelson is the better known name, but Kelly has been a cornerstone of an above average line in his nine years with the Colts. He expressed disappointment when the team didn't offer him an extension last offseason, and then they drafted Tanner Bortolini, a center from Wisconsin, in the fourth round of last year's draft. Kelly could be a big veteran addition for an offensive line, but he'll need to be able to play more than the 10 games he did last year because of missed time with a knee injury. |

Colts | Lou Anarumo locked in as Indy's DC Tue Jan 21, 02:46 PM
Updating a previous report, Lou Anarumo officially signed an undisclosed contract to become the new defensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
| Footballguys view: Anarumo joins the Colts after spending the last six seasons (2019-2024) as the Cincinnati Bengals' defensive coordinator. With the Bengals, Anarumo fielded defenses that consistently made things difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Cincinnati's defense in 2024 finished top 10 in the NFL in interceptions, pick-sixes, and passes defensed; defensive end Trey Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks. Anarumo's Bengals defense in 2022 held opponents to 20.1 points per game and a 58.9 completion percentage, the lowest rate in the NFL. In 2021, Anarumo helped push the Bengals to the Super Bowl by holding Cincinnati's opponents to 20.5 points per game. He'll replace Gus Bradley, who was fired after a complete collapse against the Giants in the regular-season finale, highlighting an overall failure to develop drafted talent. |
Colts | Anthony Richardson set to work with biometric expert Tue Jan 21, 02:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson told ESPN.com's Stephen Holder that he expects to work with biometric expert Chris Hess this offseason. Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen recently credited Hess as being 'the most influential person in my mechanical career' after Hess refined some parts of Allen's throwing motion during the early part of his pro career.
| Footballguys view: It's all part of a bigger effort by Richardson to demonstrate he can be the quarterback the Colts need him to be. According to ESPN.com's Stephen Holder, no one, including the Colts, wants to consider the alternative. Improvement is imperative after Richardson regressed as a passer in 2024. Though he had only a small sample size as a rookie (four games), his completion percentage dropped more than 11 percentage points from his first season (59.5 percent) to his second (an NFL-low 47.7 percent). His turnovers jumped, too, with his interception rate rising from 1.2 percent to 4.5 percent. There were also ambiguous issues with Richardson's off-field preparation, which GM Chris Ballard acknowledges contributed to the QB's midseason two-game benching. Given the circumstances, bringing a legitimate contender in to compete with Richardson makes sense. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Colts | Lou Anarumo to be next DC Mon Jan 20, 03:42 PM
Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has been hired by the Indianapolis Colts to be their new defensive coordinator, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Colts fired Gus Bradley after the end of the regular season. That's also when the Bengals dismissed Anarumo. He was hired in Cincinnati along with head coach Zay Taylor in 2019 and helped the team make it to the Super Bowl after the 2021 season, but the Bengals defense struggled the last two years. The Colts hope a change of scenery leads to a return to better results for Anarumo. |

Colts | Wink Martindale to interview with Indy Tue Jan 14, 12:27 PM

Martindale will also interview for that same position with the Falcons, and he's also drawing "interest" from the Cincinnati Bengals, which ranked 24th out of 32 NFL teams in total defensive output this past year, according to the report. The Colts, which were fourth-worst this year, parted ways with former coordinator Gus Bradley. Martindale has experience coaching in the NFL, working for the Denver Broncos in the 2010 season, the Baltimore Ravens from 2018 to 2021, and the New York Giants in 2022. |

| Footballguys view: Ballard needs to make the right moves to put this team into the postseason. Richardson has a ton of physical talent, but he needs to stay healthy, focused, and be more consistent as a passer. We imagine the competition added should be more than Joe Flacco was in 2024. |

Without surgery, Pittman will give his back rest and recovery this offseason. The Colts could ease him into action during mandatory workouts and then in training camp later this summer. |
