The Indianapolis Colts have had a busy 2024 free agency if you account for the re-signings to keep talented players on the roster.
However, often fans and pundits label a successful free agency for an NFL team as grabbing new names and outside skillsets.
While Indianapolis has done what it feels is necessary and general manager Chris Ballard has spent money, has it been enough to make a serious impact?
With this in mind, it’s time to discuss how Ballard has succeeded and failed in the free agency period. We’ll rip off the bandage and start with the failures.
Indianapolis began the 2024 offseason as a top-10 team for available salary cap space, totaling over $70 million.
While it was a necessity to retain the services of notable names like wide receiver Micheal Pittman Jr., cornerback Kenny Moore II, and defensive tackle Grover Stewart, the Colts still could have used some of the outside talent on the market.
