Colts owner Jim Irsay says the thing the entire fan base is thinking out loud ahead of NFL free agency
The glory years of the Indianapolis Colts with players like Peyton Manning, Dwight Freeney, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and so many other greats seems like forever ago at this point.

The glory years of the Indianapolis Colts with players like Peyton Manning, Dwight Freeney, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and so many other greats seems like forever ago at this point.
The team's recent years have lacked the success the franchise was known for during that span, which included the team lifting the Lombardi trophy in the air as Super Bowl champions. Losing causes a lot of frustration for fans and the players, but the team's owner, Jim Irsay, also knows they have not been good enough.
Jim Irsay weighs in on the team's lack of success in recent years
The Colts have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons, with the last time the team punched their ticket to the postseason being in 2020. To put into perspective how long ago that was, their starting quarterback that season was Phillip Rivers.
The team hasn't won the AFC South since 2014, which means they are on a ten-year drought of accomplishing that feat. Each team in the division has at least won the AFC South twice in that time. So Irsay's statement that the team's recent standard is not good enough is exactly what is on the mind of Colts fans everywhere.
The team is entering a pivotal offseason with more questions than answers regarding the state of their roster from top to bottom. Their trio of head coach, general manager, and quarterback are all entering make-or-break seasons where another failure to reach the postseason could result in all three being without jobs by the 2026 season. It is interesting that Irsay decided to share this statement just ahead of NFL Free Agency, which kicks off Monday with the legal tampering period. If the team follows this statement up with a quiet free-agency approach, fans will have pitchforks and riots on their mind.
