Colts

Colts GM Chris Ballard said the franchise tag is a tool, “but not one they want to use,” as they have to make big decisions this offseason regarding QB Daniel Jones and WR Alec Pierce.

“We’ll continue to work this week and see if we can get something done,” Ballard said, via PFT. “Look, when both sides are driven to get it done, it usually works out in the right way. I know four or five days doesn’t seem like a long time, but it can be in these situations.”

Texans

Texans GM Nick Caserio shot down any speculation that QB C.J. Stroud could be on the trade block.

“We are not trading the guy. He’s our quarterback,” Caserio said, via ESPN. “He’s going to be playing quarterback for the Houston Texans in 2026.”

Caserio has taken Stroud’s full body of work into account and said that he’s had a solid start to his career, even if it hasn’t always been pretty.

“He’s been a good player and won a lot of football games,” Caserio said. “Quarterback is the hardest position to play in sports. He had some ups and downs — that’s natural for a position, but overall, he’s had a pretty significant impact on what we are as a program. … He’s not going anywhere.”
