Duron Carter is close to an agreement to sign with the Indianapolis Colts.

Carter played for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League last season.

The 6-foot-5 receiver was very productive in the CFL last season with 75 catches for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns were also interested in Carter.

Carter is the son of Cris Carter.

Rob Chudzinski has decided to remain with the Indianapolis Colts on a new contract and title.

Chudzinski will now be associate head coach.

Chudzinski was a prime candidate to become offensive coordinator of either the San Francisco 49ers or St. Louis Rams.

"We're excited to keep Chud in our family," Chuck Pagano said. "He's been a critical part of our operation and we're looking forward to sharing even more success in the future."

The San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams both figure to interview Rob Chudzinski for their offensive coordinator vacancies this week.

Chudzinski was with the Indianapolis Colts this season as "special assistant to the head coach" and they blocked inquiries to interview him.

Chudzinski has appeared to be the 49ers’ top candidate all along to take over the post Greg Roman held the past four seasons.

The 49ers' top in-house candidate is Geep Chryst.

Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts were reportedly discussing a new deal before the AFC Championship Game.

Luck can sign an extension for the first time this offseason.

“There’s nothing there right now,” Luck said, via the Indianapolis Star. “I didn’t think about it all during the season and it’s only been a few days since it ended. I haven’t thought about it. I will have conversations with my agent just because you have to prepare, but I’m not sure where that report came from.”

the Indianapolis Colts suspended Trent Richardson for two games, though it is unclear if it is for the final games of 2014 or will carryover to 2015.

Richardson was deactivated for Sunday’s loss to the Patriots after not traveling with the club. He missed the club’s Saturday walk-through, though Richardson indicated it was for a “serious family emergency,” per ESPN.

The Colts traded a No. 1 pick in 2013 to the Cleveland Browns for Richardson.

Andrew Luck was the first overall pick of the Pro Bowl Draft on Wednesday and was asked how he felt following the Indianapolis Colts' loss in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

"You do feel a little deflated," Luck said.

Luck appeared to unintentionally make that reference to the New England Patriots' deflated footballs controversy, but that of course is a Freudian slip of epic proportions.

D'Qwell Jackson's interception on Sunday led to the NFL investigation into whether the New England Patriots deflated balls during their victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Newsday, citing a person familiar with background of the matter, reported that Jackson, following his second-quarter interception, gave the ball to a member of the Colts' equipment staff, who noticed it was not fully inflated and informed Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano.

According to the Newsday report, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson was alerted about the ball in the Gillette Stadium press box. Grigson contacted NFL director of football operations Mike Kensil, who then told game officials during halftime.

Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts have been working on a new contract that could be the richest in the NFL.

Luck was the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and has helped lead the Colts to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons.

Trent Richardson did not make the trip with the Indianapolis Colts to play the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game for personal reasons.

Richardson was a healthy inactive last week against the Denver Broncos.

Richardson has struggled since coming to the Colts in 2013 from the Cleveland Browns for a first round pick.

"I'm dealing with a very serious family emergency," said Richardson to Mike Wells of ESPN. "I'm still at the hospital. I wouldn't purposely just miss walk through."

Indianapolis Colts backup linebacker Josh McNary has been charged with rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury.

According to the probable cause affidavit, two Indianapolis police officers said a 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man they later determined to be McNary of attacking her in the early morning hours of Dec. 1. Police, according to the report, determined the man was McNary after investigating a cellphone the woman claimed she took from the man's apartment.

In the report, police said the woman also picked McNary's image out of a group of photos.

The police also wrote that when they arrived at McNary's apartment to investigate, McNary said: "I know why you're here." The report said McNary claimed to have preserved evidence because he expected the police would be coming.
