The Indianapolis Colts are searching for a new head coach once again after getting rid of Frank Reich during the 2022 season and naming Jeff Saturday as the interim.
And, once again, the Colts are in the market for a quarterback.
A few years ago, it was Philip Rivers.
In 2021, it was Carson Wentz before he was traded in the offseason to the Washington Commanders.
In 2022, it was Matt Ryan, then Sam Ehlinger and Nick Foles, and the QB purgatory just continues to swirl in Indianapolis.
With the offseason here and the Colts locked into a top-5 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, GM Chris Ballard got honest about the future.
Asked if there is a QB at the top of the draft they want, would he give up heaven and earth to trade up and get him?
Ballard: "Yes. I’d do whatever it takes."

“Yes. I’d do whatever it takes,” Chris Ballard said, per Zak Keefer.
The Colts have to find a young quarterback this offseason, and with CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson all projected as first-round picks, they should have a couple of choices when they are on the clock.
Indianapolis has also been a rumored destination for Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr, who has likely played his final snap with the franchise after being benched for Jarrett Stidham.
The Colts finished with a 4-12-1 record and lost to the Texans in Week 18.
They finished 30th in the NFL in points scored (17 per game) and in the bottom half of just about every offensive category in another disappointing year.
Between all three QBs this season, they finished with a combined 17 touchdowns and 20 interceptions, and something needs to change in Indianapolis.
