Indianapolis Colts recently announced that they have fired their general manager, Chris Ballard, after a disappointing 2-4 start to the 2026 season. This decision was made while Ballard was in his tenth season in this role, and his efforts to improve the team this season did not yield results.
Details of the firing
This decision came after several consecutive losses and the team's poor performance in the early season games. The Colts found themselves in this situation despite expectations that the new additions made during the offseason would lead to stronger competition. However, poor results and the inability to meet set goals ultimately led to Ballard's firing.
