The Facts: The Colts have found their new general manager. Chris Ballard is coming over from the Chiefs to replace Ryan Grigson in the Indy front office.
Diehards Line:Ballard served as the director of football operations in Kansas City since 2013. He turned down an opportunity to interview for the G.M. job in San Francisco but was interested in the job in Indianapolis. That may signal that he wanted to go to a place that already had its franchise quarterback in place. With Andrew Luck in town, the hardest part of building a roster is already done. Still, the Colts have missed the playoffs two years in a row and have plenty of holes in their roster. That’s why Ryan Grigson was fired, and why Ballard has a big job ahead of him.
