18 HRS AGO - Robert Scheer/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK Pro Football Focus released a list of the most underrated player for each NFL team, and cornerback Kenny Moore II has been chosen for the Indianapolis Colts: “Moore has been arguably the best slot cornerback in the NFL over the past several years, or at least he is always in the conversation with other players who have had that claim. Moore has never had a bad season for the Colts and consistently makes plays on the football. 2021 was a relative down year for him. Still, his 66.6 PFF grade was above average and he recorded four interceptions and nine pass breakups. Moore is a very tough player to beat and has a knack for making plays from the slot.” A waiver claim by the Colts back in 2017, Moore has been quite the find for their defense. It didn’t take long for Moore to find his way into the starting lineup after securing four interceptions, 16 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and 1.5 sacks through each of his first two Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox has been named the team’s most underappreciated player by NFL Network analyst Cynthia Frelund. Frelund spoke highly of Alie-Cox’s expanded role, who’s entering his fifth season within Frank Reich’s offense, writing: “It certainly doesn’t show up in a traditional box score, but run-blocking for tight ends, especially in run-first offenses, is extremely important — and Alie-Cox ranked 12th best in the NFL in 2021, per computer vision. Alie-Cox also hauled in four touchdowns last season, which doubled his career total prior to 2021. Look for the recently re-signed veteran to be a frequent target of Matt Ryan, as the Colts’ new quarterback is at his best when working with a dominant tight end.” Alie-Cox has played a significant role within the Colts’ offense over the last few seasons, and he’s got the numbers to show for it. In 2021, Alie-Cox caught a career-high four touchdowns on 24 receptions for 316 yards Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images According to the Indianapolis Star’s Joel A. Erickson, Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II is attending, but not participating in this week’s OTAs—as he looks to renegotiate his current contract for greater pay: Moore II is on the field but not participating https://t.co/MXkJtWCWOe— Joel A. Erickson (@JoelAErickson) May 25, 2022 Moore II initially signed a 4-year, $33.3M contract extension with the Colts in June of 2019, but given the current ‘inflation’ of NFL contracts on an annual basis and his ascension into arguably the league’s top slot cornerback—and he’s now fairly underpaid by league standards. Some of that was expected though, as Moore II traded in some potential extra earning power in future years for long-term stability (and insurance against a career-threatening injury), as his initial extension already meant he was set financially for life with a guaranteed very well-to-do livelihood for his family Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports The Indianapolis Colts are bringing in more competition at the running back spot, signing former Baltimore Ravens running back Ty’Son Williams, according Ari Meirov. The #Colts signed former #Ravens RB Ty’Son Williams.— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) May 24, 2022 To make room for the signing of Williams, the Colts released center Alex Mollette. A former undrafted free-agent, Williams signed with the Ravens in 2020 and saw some playing time in 2021 after injuries to starter J.K. Dobbins and others. Williams had 185 rushing yards on 35 carries and averaged 5.3 YPC in his limited action with the Ravens last season. In addition, Williams had 84 receiving yards on nine catches. Both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines are clearly the No. 1 and No. 2 backs for Indy, but the additions of both Philip Lindsey and Ty’Son Williams indicate the Colts want to explore several options for their No. 3 back. GM Chris Ballard has always preached competition at Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent veteran quarterback Nick Foles to a two-year deal—after the two sides were close to officially agreeing to a new contract entering this past weekend: Nick Foles and the #Colts have now agreed to terms on a two-year deal, source says. Foles and Frank Reich officially reunited, this time with Foles as Matt Ryan’s backup.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) May 23, 2022 That momentum fully carried over to a freshly inked deal, as Colts head coach Frank Reich reunites with Foles—who he helped coach to a Super Bowl championship with the Eagles back in 2017, in what was an improbable run by the former backup, suddenly turned starter. The pair were just together a few weeks ago when Reich presented Foles with the ‘Call to Courage’ Award in Buffalo, New York. This time, their latest rendezvous won’t be nearly as short-lived—as Foles Collapse

Woods brings rare size at 6’7” and is perhaps the most athletic tight ends Frank Reich has had to work with since Eric Ebron back in 2018. Raimann, meanwhile, certainly has the capability to be the long-term answer at left Collapse

5/20/2022 - The chances just increased that Morocco Brown will return to the Colts for at least one more year in the front office. According to NFL Insider Josina Anderson, Indianapolis Colts director of college scouting Morocco Brown is no longer considered a candidate for the Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager job—despite being thought of as an initial frontrunner: Morocco Brown, more than qualified for the team-described* #Eagles Assistant G.M. job and who I've heard was on track for the position as a 'no-brainer' hire, is now a no-go as of now per league sources. What happened and who's being hired instead?— IG: JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) May 19, 2022 Regarding Brown: “Brown joined the Colts in 2017 and just finished his fifth season as the director of college scouting for Indianapolis. He previously worked for the Cleveland Browns as VP of player personnel (2014-15), Washington Football Team as director of player personnel (2008-13), and Chicago Bears as an Collapse

5/19/2022 - Photo by Bobby Ellis/Getty Images Could ‘Matty Ice’ turn back the clock with the Colts—all the way back to 2016, when his initials were M.V.P. According to NFL.com’s Adam Schein, Indianapolis Colts veteran starting quarterback Matt Ryan is one of his top ‘2022 NFL MVP dark horse’ sleeper candidates—coming in at the second overall spot: 2. Matt Ryan Indianapolis Colts · QB MVP odds: 60-1 Indianapolis missed the playoffs last season with an inexplicable Week 18 loss in Jacksonville, understandably sent Carson Wentz packing to Washington, and traded for the former NFL MVP. Onward and upward, Colts! Ryan is up in age — in fact, today is his 37th birthday — but I believe the four-time Pro Bowler has plenty of gas left in the tank. The fresh start will help. So will having Jonathan Taylor in the backfield, as well as a great offensive line and a fantastic defense. Ryan sorely missed those ingredients last year in Atlanta. Indy had ‘em, but lacked leadership and stability at Collapse
