I’m curious when will be the Colts time? I feel like the can keeps getting kicked down the road. To me it’s now, this should be the start of a 3 yr window. I keep hearing that AR (and some development from other young players) is going to make all the difference and why Ballard doesn’t need to do anything other than resign his guys. So if AR is who we think and hope then you have a small window to compete with one version of the team (more balanced) before his 5th yr option and extension. Then it becomes a more AR centric team. If he isn’t who we think / hope then it’s all irrelevant anyway - a large number of the key players will be gone before we ever acquire the right QB. So waiting and slow rolling make absolutely no sense.
I question the Texans logic in wiping out all the extra years on Diggs contract, but they are absolutely right to be looking short term. Stroud will keep them competitive as they revamp the team around him longer term. I believe the Colts timeline should be exactly the same.
