- He said his father wants him to retire and noted that one more concussion would likely end his career.
- The 29-year-old remains under contract through 2027, with $5 million guaranteed in 2026 and a $7.98 million roster bonus due in March.
- Over The Cap’s analysis indicates the Colts could seek to recoup part of Ward’s $20 million signing bonus if he voluntarily retires.
- Despite playing only seven games, Ward earned strong performance grades, while injuries — and the hoped-for pairing with midseason addition Sauce Gardner — never fully materialized.
