According to ESPN, the Indianapolis Colts will not be in the “upper quartile of winners,” and certainly not in “the top quartile of that upper quartile,” as they’re projected to be near the bottom quarter of the league in their ‘early 2025 NFL power rankings’—coming in at just 23rd overall to begin the offseason:
23. Indianapolis Colts
2024 record: 8-9
Describe this offseason in three words: Change in philosophy?
The Colts, under general manager Chris Ballard, have adhered stringently to a philosophy of using free agency sparingly and relying almost exclusively on draft picks.
