A promising season for the Colts was derailed in the final two weeks, with losses to the Raiders and Jaguars costing the team a playoff spot. With the year now over for Indianapolis, speculation is abound regarding the future of quarterback Carson Wentz. Colts general manager Chris Ballard addressed the situation during a lengthy press conference Thursday.
Ballard defended trading the quarterback before the 2021 season, though he would not make any commitments for Wentz or any other Colts player for next season.
“After Philip [Rivers] retired, and we made the decision to make the move on Carson, at the time of the decision we felt good about it," Ballard said.
