Hidden Gems or Risky Bets? Colts’ Surprising Free Agent Options That Could Change the Season
Unfortunately, ascending 3rd-year linebacker Jaylon Carlies didn’t seem to fall into favor with Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo last year, even when he finally returned healthy. This figures to be a position that Indianapolis also addresses in the upcoming NFL Draft, regardless of what they do the rest of the way in free agency:
–LB Bobby Okereke (30), *New York Giants
–LB Germaine Pratt (30), Indianapolis Colts
–Jahlani Tavai (29), New England Patriots
-Jerome Baker (29), LB Cleveland Browns
Wide Receiver
The Colts retained their lead wideout from last season, Alec Pierce, but his new lucrative multi-year contract came at the expense of veteran Michael Pittman Jr. remaining on their roster. While Pittman Jr.’s receiving production had fallen off recently and didn’t warrant his high cap hit any longer, he’s a ‘football player,’ who helps his team win in ways that doesn’t always show up on a box score or with fantasy points. In particular, the Colts may try to find another possession target, who excels at blocking along the perimeter. Realistically, Jennings may be the only logical option listed below, but just for fun, I’ll list some other big names here.
