1 HR AGO - Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Which Colts players could still get contract extensions before the season starts? The Colts have done a lot of work with contract extensions so far this offseason. Cornerback Kenny Moore II was made the highest paid slot corner in the NFL with an extension that is set to pay him 33.3 million dollars over the next four seasons. Punter Rigoberto Sanchez signed a four year 11.6 million dollar contract a few days later to make him one of the highest paid punters in the league. Lastly, the Colts signed long snapper Luke Rhodes to a four year 4.85 million dollar contract as well. The Colts signed these players well before they needed to this offseason as Ballard is locking up his guys. Who could potentially be next this offseason? In this article, I will be looking at which players could get contract extensions from the team before this upcoming season. To help me with the finer details of potential contracts that each of these players could get, I Collapse

4 HRS AGO - Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images Week two of the preseason is now in the books. Once again, Coach Frank Reich’s play-calling was very limited, since there is no need to show his opponents what the team can do right now. So, until the regular season begins and specific plays have a much bigger impact, instead of analyzing specific plays, I will analyze decisions made by Frank during the game. Best Decisions Giving Jacoby Brissett a real chance to show what he can do. Against the Bills, the Colts “starting” offense looked completely out of sync, without any creativity or explosiveness, and could not execute a single play correctly. This week, that changed a little bit. After going 3 and out on the first two drives, backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett orchestrated a 10 play, 85 yard drive that ended in an Eric Ebron touchdown. It was evident that Reich was allowing Brissett and the offense to take more risks, and that he called more aggressive plays instead of just running it up Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images In a move that was expected, the Colts have decided to place second year wide receiver Reece Fountain on injured reserve ending his 2019 season after a brutal dislocated and broken ankle which took place on the last day of training camp. Reece Fountain, per Frank Reich, had a dislocated ankle AND a fracture. He'll go to IR.— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) August 18, 2019 Fountain was drafted in the fifth round with pick 159 in the 2018 draft, and spent most of the season on the practice squad before working his way onto the active roster by season’s end. His 2019 off-season was one of immense growth, making himself a standout receiver in practice who consistently made highlight catches and showed how far he had come from his arrival with the team as a rookie. One-handed catch by Reece Fountain with tight coverage from Nate Hairston in 1-on-1. Fountain is making plays every day. #Colts— George Bremer (@gmbremer) Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Rookie linebacker E.J. Speed has been a revelation during Colts training camp and off-season work. With his athleticism, intensity, and physicality, the 5th Round pick has shone bright and is already looking to play key snaps once the season begins. He may not have been on many draft analysts radars, but Speed is already looking like another Chris Ballard steal - just a year after Darius Leonard shocked the NFL world. For Tarleton State’s linebacker Coach Marc Martinez, however, Speed’s initial success doesn’t come as a surprise. At all. “I haven’t had a player like him,” Martinez remarked when I asked about Speed’s game. “You know a kid with that much talent, length and aggressiveness. Typically you don’t get those kids at the Division 2 level. He had a situation in high school with his brother that led him to Tarleton State, so we were just blessed to have a kid of his talent choose to come here.” That situation Martinez refers to, of course, involves both Speed and his adopted Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Despite a last minute comeback attempt, the Indianapolis Colts fell short to the Cleveland Browns 21-18 at the friendly confines of Lucas Oil Stadium. However, the ultimate outcome isn’t as important as how the team actually looked and continued to progress in preseason from a week ago. So without further ado, here are a few key takeaways: Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Jacoby Brissett While the latest news on Andrew Luck is encouraging regarding the increasing likelihood of his availability for the regular season opener, it’s still not a given. The Colts needed a strong showing from Brissett with the first-team offense, and the young quarterback emphatically delivered. Brissett was 8 of 10 (80%) for 100 passing yards—including a laser 12 yard touchdown pass to Pro Bowl tight end Eric Ebron in the back right corner of the end zone. He finished with a sparkling passer rating of 141.7, and even flashed his Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Andrew Luck looked good in a preseason game warm up Saturday afternoon. No one truly knows if Andrew Luck is going to play in the Indianapolis Colts season opener September 8th... Right? You’ve probably heard the story by now. First it was a calf strain, then it was “a little bone issue.” Finally, general manager Chris Ballard said in a conference call that they think they finally have identified the problem: “We tested his ankle yesterday with a specific scan. He went and saw a specialist, and it led us to the area at the front of the ankle that needs to be addressed. It’s kind of high ankle-ish. That’s potentially referring to the pain he’s getting in the posterior ankle, kind of by the calf and why it’s happening.” Ballard also cited that Luck isn’t expected to play this preseason. Fast forward to pregame warmups against the Cleveland Browns, and that’s when things get interesting. Luck was running through quarterback drills, and he looked Collapse
