IndyStar insiders Joel A. Erickson and Nate Atkins break down Chris Ballard’s revelation that the Colts will hold an open competition for the starting quarterback job next season, pitting Anthony Richardson against a quarterback Indianapolis hasn’t acquired yet.

The Matthew Stafford chase is on. According to multiple reports, the Giants met with Stafford's representatives while in Indianapolis for the Scouting Combine this week. The Rams have given the quarterback permission to talk to other teams about a trade as he looks for someone offering the new contract that the Rams appear to be hesitant to give him.

Joe Schoen wasn’t kidding about “swinging” for a quarterback. The Giants met with Rams QB Matthew Stafford‘s representatives on Tuesday here in Indianapolis at the NFL combine, according to a source.

The Rams have given Stafford permission to speak with other teams and assess his value before they determine how they will proceed. He is due to make $26 million this season.
