Mike Florio and Chris Simms discuss what the Indianapolis Colts will do next at quarterback with reports circulating that the team is likely to trade or release Carson Wentz this offseason.

The Colts may be bringing in one of the best players in franchise history to take over a position group.

According to Zak Keefer of TheAthletic.com, Indianapolis is strongly considering hiring Reggie Wayne to be the team’s receivers coach.

Wayne played for the Colts from 2001-2014, with Indianapolis selecting him at No. 30 overall. He’s second to Marvin Harrison on the franchise list in receptions (1,070), yards (14,345), and touchdowns (82). A six-time Pro Bowler, the Colts inducted Wayne into their Ring of Honor in 2018.

Wayne also served as a volunteer coach for the Colts back in 2018 training camp and said he enjoyed the process.

“I think coaching is in my blood, I think it’s something that I would want to do,” Wayne said, via Keefer. “It’s just got to be the right time.

Apparently, that time could be now.

The Colts need a receivers coach to replace Mike Groh, who departed the organization to become the Giants’ receivers coach under Brian Daboll.
