Colts Ranked 27th in NFL Free Agency Moves

0:00On March 25, ESPN analyst Ben Solak recently ranked all 32 NFL teams on their free agency moves, placing the Indianapolis Colts at number. 27. He approved of their work to keep wide receiver Alec Pierce on a new deal and slapped the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones. Solak called Pierce a young star worth his $28.5 million a year, especially with receiver salaries climbing fast. The two-year pack for Jones stays flexible, letting the team cut ties after one season while he heals from an Achilles tear. Pierce brings big play speed and sharper route running now, and the Colts bet on Jones repeating his strong play before the injury. Still, Finn Depp, that wide receiver and along the offensive line, leaves some gaps that worry fans. Defensively, they grabbed Arden Key and Michael Clemens for rotation duty, but no standout end to team with Lai-A-2 La-2. General manager Chris Ballard kept cap space open, yet with no first round pick and just two in the top 100, splashy fixes look slim.

1:04Overall, the Colts stayed active, without major leaps, explaining their spot near the bottom of Solak's list as training camp nears.
