Report: Colts held players-only meeting as front office tension continues

According to the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Holder, the Colts held a players-only meeting last week as the tension between the front office and coaching staff continues to weigh on the locker room.

Earlier this offseason, the Indianapolis Colts only extended a small, one-year contract extension to head coach Chuck Pagano, something he justifiably turned down. Since that moment, things have continued to escalate, perhaps most notably with the tension between general manager Ryan Grigson and Pagano that has led to a mess internally as the team has struggled to a 3-5 record.

The Colts have said that the tensions between Pagano and Grigson haven't had an effect on them as they tune out the noise, but that has always been hard to believe.
