Indianapolis Colts 2024 Season Preview

The Indianapolis Colts made very little movement in the off-season electing to re-sign players they already had. Very few key pieces left the team as they have the shortest departure list in the entire league.

They re-signed star receiver Michael Pittman to a three-year $70-million dollar deal with $41-million in guaranteed money, saving Pittman from having to play on the franchise tag. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner got a two-year extension worth a whopping $46-million dollars keeping him on the team through 2026.

The team also brought back Danny Pinter, Tyquan Lewis, Gerard Avery, Grover Stewart, Taven Bryant, Kenny Moore II, Zaire Franklin, Julian Blackmon and Ronnie Harris among others.

Anthony Richardson showed a lot of flash and promise in his rookie season. If he can stay healthy this Colts offense should be deadly. One things the Colts did pay for in free agency was a strong veteran backup quarterback in Joe Flacco to help teach Richardson, and fill in if necessary.

Jonathan Taylor is fully healthy and ready for a big season. General manager Chris Ballard believes that and was quoted as saying “Jonathan Taylor will have a big year.” Zach Moss moves on to the Cincinnati Bengals but Trey Sermon quietly re-signed with the team and could play a much bigger role in 2024. The former third round NFL Draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers appeared in 14 games for Indianapolis in 2023 earning the trust of the coaching staff.
