According to The Athletic’s Zak Keefer (subscription), Indianapolis Colts team owner Jim Irsay plans on extending his general manager Chris Ballard’s contract at some point before training camp begins next July:
“It’s why Irsay intends on extending Ballard’s contract at some point before training camp begins next July, [Irsay] said Monday night. Ballard is currently signed through May 2022; Irsay expects the deal to get done without any snags several months before the contract is set to expire.
He likened the impending negotiations to what he used to do with former team president Bill Polian, who was with the Colts from 1998 through 2011.
