INDIANAPOLIS — The work has already begun.
The moment the Colts players left the facility and scattered to their offseason homes, head coach Frank Reich and general manager Chris Ballard began the long, painstaking process of thoroughly evaluating a season that crumbled down the stretch.
The reality is this offseason will feature more change than the last offseason the Colts went through, when Indianapolis brought back almost every starter from a team that made the playoffs. A 7-9 finish ensured there will be more turnover.
“When times like this happen, change occurs,” Ballard said in his annual State of the Colts news conference last week.
