The Colts struck a deal to get Matt Ryan in exchange for a third-round pick. There is a time and a place for it. This is what all chips in look like for the Indianapolis Colts these days. Matt Ryan is a soon-to-be 37 year old quarterback who will likely have a couple of more years left in his NFL career. The Colts have fallen over time. This isn't all chips in, as owner Jim Irsay said. 🏈💪🏈 pic.twitter.com/43C0Z4zdVb The Colts are using another Band-Aid to cover up the wound they have had at quarterback since Andrew Luck retired in 2019. That approach sounds familiar? They did the same thing two years ago when they signed Philip Rivers after the one-year experiment didn't work out. The Colts are in a position to continue their search for a long-term answer at quarterback after the trade of Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders and the acquisition of Ryan. It was a risk for Indianapolis to move on from Wentz. The front office was displeased with him in a season of poor decisions and questionable leadership. The quarterback landscape on the outside was bare before the Colts traded Wentz to the Commanders. There weren't any franchise-changing quarterbacks available on the market. Jimmy Garoppolo had shoulder surgery. The last thing the Colts need is another quarterback coming off shoulder surgery, as they did with Luck, with no definitive return date. The Raiders don't want to trade Carr now that Josh McDaniels and Davante Adams are there. McShay's rankings are:

The Colts don't have a first-round pick in this year's draft because they gave up a first-round pick to acquire Wentz. The Colts wanted to cut their losses quickly.
Ryan should be as effective for the Colts next season as Rivers was in 2020. He has two years left on his contract.
Ryan's future beyond next season will be a serious question.

While the Colts are looking for the next Manning or Luck, the rest of the AFC is still looking for a quarterback.
There is a person named Watson. A man named Joe Burrow. Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen. Russell Wilson. Patrick is the quarterback. A man named Justin Herbert.
The quarterbacks who have led their teams or have the ability to lead their teams to the Super Bowl are from the AFC.
Indianapolis isn't in a position to overtake the TennesseeTitans in the AFC South based on what it has done so far in free agency. The Colts still have some important pieces that need to be filled, including depth at receiver, a new starting tight end, and a left tackle.
The Colts have their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, but they are far away from making a run.
