INDIANAPOLIS — The season is officially over. The Super Bowl champion has been crowned. Now it’s on to the offseason — which will be a more pivotal time for some teams.
The Indianapolis Colts are one of those teams.
The coaching staff and front office were likely thinking about this offseason long before owner Jim Irsay arrived back in Indianapolis to meet with general manager Chris Ballard and coach Frank Reich after his team lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18 and missed the playoffs.
The player who will be talked about the most on the Colts’ roster is quarterback Carson Wentz, the man handpicked by Reich to be his starter last season.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported on Super Bowl Sunday it looked “bleak” for Wentz to return to Indianapolis for a second season.
“Yes, the Colts did not give him support verbally after the season,” Mortensen said on ESPN. “Said that they weren’t guaranteeing him anything. Well, right now, it looks bleak. … So, for Carson Wentz and the Colts, it looks like it was a one-year marriage that went wrong.”
