Report: Colts and OT Bernhard Raimann agree to huge contract extension
The Indianapolis Colts and left tackle Bernhard Raimann have agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension, according to Mike Garafolo.
Of that $100 million, $60 million of it will be guaranteed. According to Spotrac, with an average annual value of $25 million, Raimann is now tied as the fifth-highest paid left tackle in the NFL this season.
A third-round pick in 2022, Raimann was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal this season.
In 2023, he put together a breakout season and then improved upon that performance in 2024. Out of 83 eligible tackles last season, Raimann ranked 24th in pass-blocking efficiency.
In the run game, Raimann ranked 12th in PFF's run-blocking grade. In addition to that, running back Jonathan Taylor averaged nearly 5.0 yards per rush when running between Raimann and left guard Quenton Nelson last season.
'The progress that Berny has made from year one to now, it's been pretty incredible,' GM Chris Ballard said at the NFL Combine.

Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin making training camp debut
Colts' LB Zaire Franklin is set to make his training camp debut on Saturday. Indianapolis Colts' linebacker Zaire Franklin was on the field and warming up prior to Saturday's training camp practice. Franklin has yet to practice during training camp up to this point as he continued to recover from offseason ankle surgery. Earlier in the week, Shane Steichen expressed his optimism that Franklin would be able to return fairly soon. It appears that time has now come. Now, there may still be a ramp-up period for Franklin. Just because he's warming up may not mean that he goes through team drills today. We will have to wait and see what the practice plan is. Franklin is coming off a career year in which he led the NFL in tackles, while also setting career highs in sacks and interceptions. He made his first Pro Bowl and was named a second-team All-Pro as well. Being paired with Jaylon Carlies, who brings a coverage element to the position as a former safety, and operating in Lou Anarumo's defensive back-heavy scheme, should all benefit Franklin, who could, as a result, see added opportunities near the line of scrimmage this season, which is where he's at his best.

Why the Colts are an ideal landing spot for Micah Parsons
Cowboys star defensive end Micah Parsons has requested a trade out of Dallas. His frustration with the organization over a new contract has boiled over, and it's possible he's played his final snaps in Dallas. The Sporting News' Dan Treacy named six potential landing spots for the flustered star, with the Colts being one of those destinations. 'The Colts have gotten a combined 16.5 sacks out of Kwity Paye over the last two seasons and have second-year edge rusher Laiatu Latu set for a large role this season, but the pass-rush has been lacking in Indianapolis for a number of years — and neither of those pieces rival the kind of impact Parsons can make,' he writes. Parsons would, in fact, take an Indianapolis pass rushing unit from good to elite status. Having achieved double-digit sacks in all four seasons he's played, he's the kind of player to completely change the dynamic of a defense. Parsons paired with the rotation of Latu, Paye, Samson Ebukam and rookie JT Tuimoloau (plus veteran Tyquan Lewis, who the Colts love) not only creates likely the deepest edge rotation in football, but elevates the entire defense to a level Indianapolis hasn't seen in years. Especially if the offense can sort out the passing game, Parsons could turn the Colts into an AFC juggernaut overnight. But that is a big 'if.' Given the uncertainty on offense, plus the steep price a trade for Parsons would require, selling the farm (or close to it) for an elite pass rusher is risky business. History suggests that the return package would consist of multiple first round picks plus more. And that's only half of it. General manager Chris Ballard would have to come to an agreement on a new contract with Parsons. The Colts have a lot of money invested on defense already in guys like DeForest Buckner ($26.6 million cap hit in 2025), Grover Stewart ($14.2 million) and Kenny Moore II ($10.6 million). The safe and more practical decision would be to stay out of discussions for Parsons. Knowing Ballard, that's the way he's likely to lean. But there is no ignoring that adding Parsons makes the Colts a legitimate contender in the AFC, even if it requires having to jump through a few hoops to make it work.

Former Packers starting cornerback available after release: Could he help Green Bay?
A former defensive starter for the Green Bay Packers is available after being let go by his previous team. Cornerback Corey Ballentine was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday, after the team signed another corner in Chris Lammons. Ballentine spent three seasons with the Packers between 2022 and 2024, leaving the team at the conclusion of last season before signing a one-year, $1.338m deal with the Colts on March 14, which included a $167,500 signing bonus and $482,500 of guaranteed money at signing. A sixth-round pick of the New York Giants out of Washburn back in 2019, Ballentine bounced around the league, spending time with the Jets, Lions, Falcons and Cardinals before arriving in Green Bay, where he spent by far the longest stretch of his career. He was a fairly prominent part of Green Bay's defense in 2023, playing 534 snaps and starting six games. Ballentine earned a 60.8 overall PFF grade for that season, ranking 78th out of 127 qualified corners, and had a 62.3 coverage grade. Ballentine notched his lone career interception in 2023 and played more defensive snaps that year than in the rest of his NFL seasons combined (497), and now 29 years old, is looking for a new team. There could be an argument for the Packers having an interest in bringing him back to Green Bay. After jettisoning Jaire Alexander and signing Nate Hobbs this offseason, there is some clarity of their top three corners of Hobbs, Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, with Javon Bullard also expected to contribute in the slot. The back end of the depth chart is far from settled though, with current or former late-round picks Kamal Hadden, Kalen King, Micah Robinson and Gregory Junior fighting for roster spots alongside former wide receiver turned corner Bo Melton. Ballentine was a special teams regular in Green Bay, playing 450 snaps on teams in his three years with the team between the kick return, kick coverage, punt return and punt coverage units. He would be a known commodity in the cornerback room, although lacks the potential upside of the Packers' younger options at the position. The Packers did not see fit to re-sign him in the offseason and are likely to want to see what they have in their gaggle of young corners as they battle it out during camp before adding someone like Ballentine to the mix. However, he could be an option closer to the season depending on how the next few weeks play out.
