We'll start with the biggest story regarding the Colts so far in early 2024,  the owner:  https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2024/01/18/jim-irsays-ongoing-addiction-fight-means-giving-up-control-of-colts/72270415007/

Jim Irsay is believed to have overdosed again, which would be the second time for the owner of the Indianapolis Colts. It’s too soon to say what comes next, but if he’s headed to rehab, this would be at least his 16th time.

I’m saying it: Jim Irsay should never again run the Indianapolis Colts.

Thoughts?

Very sad for any individual to be 64 years of age and can't handle this demon.  In this case, a 64 year old billionaire.

While I feel for him and his battle with addiction, I would hope the NFL would demand that he hand over the keys until he can demonstrate he is healthy and on the right track.

Michael Pittman Jr. will be sticking around Indianapolis for a few more years.

The Colts have reached an agreement on a new deal with their star wide receiver, which Pittman confirmed with an Instagram post captained "HOME."

The deal is for three years and $70 million with $46 million guaranteed, a source confirmed to IndyStar. The $23.3 million average annual salary ranks eighth at the wide receiver position, sandwiched between the 49ers' Deebo Samuel and the Commanders' Terry McLaurin.

The first move the Colts made in free agency this offseason was one they did not have to make.

But it was a chance to reward a player who has outplayed the last deal he signed by leaps and bounds.

Indianapolis signed middle linebacker Zaire Franklin to a three-year extension, a source confirmed to IndyStar on Monday morning, that is worth up to $31.3 million, although full details of the contract have not been reported yet.

Colts sign Comeback Player of the Year Joe Flacco as backup quarterback

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2024/03/13/colts-sign-comeback-player-of-the-year-joe-flacco-as-backup-quarterback/72964500007/

 The Colts have found a quarterback to replace Gardner Minshew as Anthony Richardson’s backup.

Another quarterback who ended up surprising everybody when he was thrown into the lineup in place of an injured starter last season.

Indianapolis has signed Joe Flacco, the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year, to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million in guaranteed money and up to $8.2 million in incentives, a league source told Indy Star on Wednesday night, handing head coach Shane Steichen a backup quarterback he already knows he can trust.

Flacco spent half a season with Steichen in Philadelphia in 2021, serving as the backup to Jalen Hurts until the Eagles traded Flacco to the New York Jets halfway through the season. A starter In Baltimore for a decade and a Super Bowl MVP for the Ravens in 2012, Flacco has spent the past six seasons as a sometime starter and a mentor in a backup role for the Broncos, Jets, Eagles and Browns.

Interesting signing.
