Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard, who is entering the final year of his contract, revealed that he will not be signing an extension before his deal expires. WISH-TV relayed Ballard's remarks when asked if he expected an extension before the season. The 57-year-old Ballard has been the Colts' general manager since 2017, and he signed a five-year extension in 2021. Last year's team showed tremendous potential in the first half of the season, going 7-1 and leading the AFC after eight weeks. The Colts are going back to Jones, who was largely excellent in the Colts' first eight games.
