An NFL analyst has proposed that the Indianapolis Colts should consider trading for running back Jerome Ford from the Washington Commanders before training camp. The Colts are looking to enhance their running back depth, as they currently rely on Jonathan Taylor and have inexperienced players like DJ Giddens and rookie Seth McGowan. Ford, who is currently the No. 3 tailback on the Commanders' depth chart, could provide both a solid backup option and add value to the passing game. There is speculation regarding the Colts' desire for a veteran presence in their roster.
