2024 was a frustrating season for fans of the Indianapolis Colts. They fell short of their goal of winning the AFC South for an eleventh straight year.
A division the Colts once dominated has now seen each team win it twice since the last time the Colts could call themselves the AFC South champions. One high-ranking NFL official believes their bad luck could finally come to an end in 2025.
"They've drafted pretty well, so the roster isn't barren,
Adding a few more pieces and supporting the quarterback (Anthony Richardson) could go along way. And that division is very winnable."
- High ranking NFL offical to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler
Expecting the Colts "to add a few more pieces" during the offseason sounds reasonable. However, the passiveness of general manager Chris Ballard in the past makes fans skeptical.
Their recent decision to move on from Gus Bradley and drastically change their defensive identity by hiring Lou Anarumo should give fans some optimism. However, to provide Anarumo a fair shot to install his defense effectively, they need to give him more talent in the secondary. I don't think the Colts would have gone this route unless they were willing to do just that. It seems some of those speaking to Fowler have a similar belief.
"Evaluators believe the Colts could become more aggressive in free agency this year, which is needed."
