Ryan Grigson's Colts fade away as Chris Ballard adds 26 new faces

INDIANAPOLIS -- Getting Andrew Luck healthy was not the only issue Chris Ballard faced when he was hired as general manager of the Indianapolis Colts back in January.

It likely didn't take long for Ballard to realize the Colts not only had an old roster, but a bad one, too. For years under former general manager Ryan Grigson, Indianapolis felt Luck was talented enough to be a band-aid for all the flaws on the roster. That worked for his first three seasons, when the Colts made the playoffs. But the more Luck started to get banged up, the more the band-aid started to come off and reveal the scabs on the roster.
