Free agent cornerback Charvarius Ward and the Indianapolis Colts reached an agreement Monday on a three-year deal, worth up to $60 million. The Colts opened free agency aiming to rebuild the secondary by agreeing to terms with two starting defensive backs.
At the Colts’ end-of-season news conference in January, GM Chris Ballard told reporters he would commit to changing his free agency approach in 2025. Not just searching for outside help to fix the emanating issues on defense, but searching for leaders to change the entire culture inside the locker room.
“We’ve had moments where we’ve brought outside free agents in and done really good with it,” Ballard said.
