Colts fire GM, trades coming SOON for Vikings?

So first the Indianapolis Colts this morning, they relieve Chris Ballard of his duties as general manager.

There's a long statement from Carly Ursae, who is the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.

It says, we still want to keep winning.

There is no chance that you fire your general manager because if you think you're going to keep winning.

You fire your general manager because you're going to do a fire sale.

And there is recent history to back this up, which is last year, the Miami Dolphins fired their GM, sold off everything they could get rid of, and then went from there, got rid of Mike McDaniel.

He's a disaster with the Chargers, yada, yada, yada.

And the same thing is probably going to happen to Shane Steichen, Although, you know, I don't know if maybe they don't think that it's Shane Steichen's fault, but I think it's probably everybody's fault.

This is more likely than not a kiss of death for him as well.

It's just a lot harder to fire your coach in the middle of the season.

But either way, they fire the GM, this team he put together, the money he spent.

the quarterback that he decided to bring back after a very, very small sample of success.

I saw someone tweet today where it was like, yeah, I mean, Daniel Jones had played 70 games outside of Indianapolis, but that nine was probably the truth, right? I mean, Daniel Jones has turned right back into the, Daniel Jones for the Colts.

And then the final straw is them losing to the Titans, which basically said, you are not a contender.

It's not coming.

It's not on the way.

It's not just a few bounces here or there.

You can't even beat the most pathetic franchise in the NFL.

You had a punt block.

Your quarterback played terribly.

You are just a team that needs to be torn all the way down and built all the way back up.

That's what this signals.

You don't fire your GM at this point.

Unless that is what you're planning to do.

So, why is this relevant to the Minnesota Vikings? They are 5-0.
