Colts' Offense: Questions and Upgrades

0:00On March 5th, as free agency kicks off soon for the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts projected starting offense looks pretty set right now, based on their current roster. At quarterback, Riley Leonard steps in as the starter. Jonathan Taylor holds down running back. The wider receivers would be Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and Ashton Dullin. Tight in goes the Tyler Warren. And the offensive line features Bernhard Raymond at left tackle, Quentin Nelson at left guard, Interboard Alini at center, Mack on Kovez at right guard, and Jalen Travis at right tackle. This line up skips all the Colts free agents, who might sign elsewhere. The team already moved on from some linemen last offseason, and they could do the same again, with a few key spots open. At quarterback, they're pushing to resign Daniel Jones after placing the transition tag on him, but a trade of Anthony Richardson leaves Leonard as the top option for now. Fans and analysts see some real question marks here, especially without more depth behind

1:00Taylor and at receiver. The Colts lean heavy on two tight end sets, so they need a solid blocker to pair with Warren. Pittman carries a big cap hit down the road, making him a possible cut candidate. Recent developments point to the defense as the main offseason focus, but the offense still needs upgrades like competition at running back and receiver reinforcements. Those expect the draft to shake things up too, especially along the line where depth is thin. Expect this group to change a lot by training camp as the Colts bill competition, and fill gaps to push for wins this year.
