The Indianapolis Colts saw their season go up in flames in Week 17 after suffering an embarrassing loss to the New York Giants.
Since the loss, the talk surrounding the team from fans, current players, former players, and the national media has been about the potential for big changes to come.
Now NFL insider Albert Breer shares that a "murmur" he's heard might be music to the fan base's ears.
Albert Breer has heard murmurs of the Colts potentially making a change at GM
"On the GM side, there have been at least murmurs of front-office shuffling in Indianapolis and Miami."
Breer's newest piece was titled "NFL Coaching Carousel 2025: Who Could Get Hired and Where." Interestingly, he also chose to include this statement on the possibility of "shuffling" in the Colts and Miami Dolphins front offices.
There has been a group of the Colts fan base that has wanted Chris Ballard fired as the team's general manager for quite some time. This most recent loss knocked them out of playoff contention for a fourth straight year, and it also seems to have united the fan base into believing that the time to fire Ballard has officially come.
Ballard became the team's GM in 2017 and has been in the role for eight seasons. During that span, the team has only been to the playoffs twice and has won the AFC South zero times, while every other team in the division has won it at least twice. Ballard's tenure was hit with a gigantic bump in the road when the team's star quarterback retired ahead of the 2019 season.
That event bought Ballard and the Colts a lot of grace around the NFL, as no one knows how someone could find a way to replace someone like Luck in the blink of an eye. The problem is a blink of an eye turned into six seasons, and the Colts continue to fall short. If Luck hadn't retired, there's a chance we would be discussing this era of Colts football in a very different light. But it did happen, and it's time Ballard and others pay the price for the team's failure to get past it.
Even current Colts players can sense change is coming after their epic failure in Week 17 vs. the Giants
The Indianapolis Colts' latest loss in Week 17 to the New York Giants has morale around the team at the lowest point of the season. Fans, former players, and those in the media are calling for major changes to occur so that the Colts can be put on the right trajectory. And current Colts seem […]
Former Colts players sound off on the team’s embarrassing performance vs. the Giants to eliminate them from playoff contention
The Indianapolis Colts' Week 17 loss to the New York Giants was the latest example of the team's failure to perform when the stakes are high.This loss is up there with the team's final week loss to an, at the time, league-worst Jacksonville Jaguars team in 2021, which just so happened to also keep them […]
