For those who lack patience, faith, or just wanted more from their team, it took the Indianapolis Colts a while to get satisfactorily involved in the offseason roster grooming.
When free agency began, they mostly focused on re-signing their own players rather than distributing their ample salary cap space to outside playmakers.
After the draft passed, however, concerns about the major roster holes seemed insignificant as the Colts had finally satisfied their needs.
Now that we re about to enter one of the biggest lulls of the NFL offseason, what does the Colts roster look like now?

INDIANAPOLIS The Colts have a long and storied history of finding diamonds in the rough.
Gary Brackett. Jack Doyle. Kenny Moore. Rigoberto Sanchez and Rodrigo Blankenship. All five went undrafted and made the opening-day roster in Indianapolis anyway, part of a remarkable streak of 22 years with an undrafted rookie on the squad.
The streak is the longest in the NFL, such a part of Colts lore that the team uses it as a marketing pitch in the frenzied battle for undrafted free agents after the seventh round has come to a close.
Deon Jackson knows. He’s heard the pitch.
SHORT, MIDDLE, OVER THE TOP - A Look at Our WR Room By BertAlert! on May 5, 2021, 1:19pm EDT +
As of May 5th 2021 this is the CURRENT Colts Wide Receiver Roster (Avg, Age:24.5)
I almost gave this group a B-, but I am intrigued by the combination of Wentz and the Ghost. That seems like the most excited he has been since Luck. I am not implying Wentz is Luck, but T.Y. has someone who can throw a deep ball with some pace and accuracy. T.Y. was extremely excite after catching with Wentz. Yes, he has lost a step but I believe he could break 1,000 once more if Wentz has a big year. With T.Y., Pittman Jr., Campbell, and Pascal all healthy currently we have our Top 4 who compliment each other. They all have different traits unlike the usual 6 4 225 WR s we always target. Pittman looks to build on last year and survived a scary COMPARTMENTAL LEG issue. It looks like Ballard has his big man now. Ballard continues to add players like Paton and this year s Strachan.
