According to NFL Media’s Jim Trotter, the Indianapolis Colts have internally discussed signing former Kansas City Chiefs safety, now free agent Eric Berry:
“Now one of the things I’m hearing is that a team that may be the most likely landing spot for him is the Indianapolis Colts,” Trotter said. “I reached out to Colts GM Chris Ballard yesterday, and he declined to comment on it, but I have been told that there at least have been discussions.”
“One of Berry’s best friends is Justin Houston, his former teammate in Kansas City, who’s now with the Colts,” Trotter added.
Originally the 5th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, Berry became one of the league’s best safeties in Kansas City—as he was a 3x First-Team All-Pro and 5x Pro Bowler.
However, he has largely missed all of the last three seasons, having suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in 2017—which led to a subsequent year-ending heel complication in 2018, and he sat out all of last Collapse

Stampede Blue has had boots on the ground this week at the NFL Combine. Chris Blystone has been able to sit in on player, coach, and general manager interviews. I was able to join a group of journalists to sit in on last night’s quarterback and wide receiver throwing drills. Chris shared his observations from the interviews for this group earlier this week and here are my observations from watching their players live.
Henry Ruggs III
There was little doubt watching Ruggs III run the 40-yard dash that he had blazing speed. What surprised the group is that the hand times were so consistently lower than the official times. On his best run, which was officially 4.27 seconds, the journalists sitting together independently recorded 4.15, 4.15 and 4.17.
If Ruggs chooses to run again before the NFL Draft, it wouldn’t shock me at all to see him post a lower time by hand than he did in Indianapolis.
Unfortunately, Ruggs chose to sit out most of the Collapse

According to ProFootballNetwork’s Tony Pauline, the Indianapolis Colts are among the suitors that have already expressed interest in Tennessee Titans soon-to-be free agent quarterback Marcus Mariota:
“The former first-round pick is being courted by several teams who may have an open competition at quarterback. I’m told the Indianapolis Colts have also shown interest in Mariota – just in case.”
Originally the 2015 2nd overall pick of the NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans, Mariota had some early success in his career, throwing for 26 touchdown passes in 2016. However, he’s been pretty underwhelming the past few seasons—at least partially because of injuries.
Mariota completed 95 of 160 passing attempts (59.4%) for 1,203 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and a passer rating of 92.3 in 6 starts—before being benched in Week 7 in favor of Titans backup quarterback Ryan Tannehill—who then won the starting job outright and helped lead Collapse

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s representation, Don Yee and Carter Chow, have reportedly met with the Indianapolis Colts among other teams at the NFL Combine this week:
That seems to be inching closer toward becoming a reality. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday Brady’s representation is meeting with clubs this week during the NFL Scouting Combine, and the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts are among those clubs.
This report comes the same day after ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported that there’s a growing sense that the legendary longtime Patriots quarterback will shockingly leave New England in free agency.
While Brady’s agents meeting with other clubs before he’s formally a free agent could be considered tampering right now, it appears the NFL and teams are willing to look away.

My understanding is that the #Giants and #Colts are among teams that could potentially have some interest in impending UFA Jadeveon Clowney, per sources.— ig: josinaanderson (@JosinaAnderson) February 27, 2020
Now, Anderson’s report itself should be taken with a grain of salt.
Armed with a projected $86.2 million of cap space, the Colts are expected to be linked to a lot of free agents this time of year because agents will throw their name out as a potential suitor as a way to generate buzz for their clients and drive up the market price with made up competition.
That being said, general manager Chris Ballard recently stated at the NFL Combine this week that he believes the Colts “are ready for a big name free agent”—meaning this one might not be Collapse

The NFL Scouting Combine is upon us as teams and draft evaluators get another piece to their scouting puzzle. While we will know more about these prospects after the combine, I wanted to give you all a quick look where I am in regards to my overall grades this draft season. These grades are far from final as interviews, the combine, and final film grades will give a better picture of my final thoughts on these players.
As of right now, here is how I would rank this 2020 NFL Draft class. One thing to note is that this big board does not include positional value. This is simply where I rank players with how confident I am in their ability to reach their potential. With that said, here is my Pre-Combine Top 100 Big Board:
1.) Chase Young, Defensive End, Ohio State
2.) Jeffrey Okudah, Cornerback, Ohio State

1 DAY AGO - The Indianapolis Colts are in a unique position this offseason in which they really have to consider multiple options to shore up their quarterback position. Additionally, the Colts need another legitimate weapon for whoever is under center in order to improve their overall offensive situation heading into the 2020 season.
The Colts and Philip Rivers have been linked since the day after the Super Bowl, and we’ll discuss who benefits most from that marriage. Also, the Colts “like” Jacoby Brissett, but there’s some exciting quarterback prospects in this year’s draft. So, how do the Colts navigate this entire situation?

2 DAYS AGO - The Colts have a huge offseason ahead of them, and this week marks another step in the decision-making process. While the combine is by no means an end-all be-all in the process of whittling down prospects ahead of the draft, it is certainly an important part of the path to draft day.
With uncertainty at the quarterback position, that is naturally the focus for many Colts fans. Fortunately for them, with tight ends, quarterbacks, and wide receivers available to the media Tuesday, it was certainly the focus as the combine got underway.
I heard from Jacob Eason, Justin Herbert, and Jordan Love Tuesday, as each attempted to manage a barrage of questions from the scrums that formed around them, and comport themselves with dignity and poise throughout a process that could see each of them potentially joining rosters in the first round of the draft. Here are my takeaways from each of them.

This news is big for the Colts, as it will keep one of the best offensive lines in the NFL intact for at least another year. Ballard explained that the team is working on a new deal for Castonzo, but he also indicated that this will be a “year-to-year thing”, so the team will likely still need to draft an eventual replacement for the long-time starter.
