The Indianapolis Colts once again missed the playoffs. The team hasn't made the postseason since 2020. But what did the ownership group decide to do? Bring general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen back, of course.
Maybe Ballard and Steichen aren't the true problems. Perhaps, many of the players simply didn't live up to their contracts. Even though the team suffered many injuries, three of the players below were counted on to be productive starters (or key backups) and stayed healthy only to fail.
Hopefully, 2026 will bring better health for the Indianapolis Colts. However, even if that happens, highly-paid players need to do their jobs better.
