List of every 2026 offseason roster move by Indianapolis Colts

Although Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen are returning for the 2026 season, the Indianapolis Colts' roster has undergone its share of changes this offseason. During the free agency period alone, we saw the Colts make nine outside additions. Players who have had key roles on this team, like Kwity Paye, Samson Ebukam, Tyquan Lewis, Nick Cross, and Braden Smith, are not returning.

Ballard has also traded away Michael Pittman and Zaire Franklin. It now looks like Kenny Moore will end up elsewhere as well. The big question facing the Colts right now is how much the current iteration of the Colts has improved over last year's version.
