Colts Stay Active in Free Agency, Eyeing Top Talent

0:00On March 15th, we're almost one week into the NFL free-agency period, and the Indianapolis Colts have stayed pretty active. General manager Chris Ballard resigned several of their own free agents and brought in a few outsiders to bolster the roster. They still have plenty of salary cap space left, but the top tier talent is thinning out fast. Earlier this week, the Colts added depth at defensive end, with signings like Quittie Pay and Arden Key, focusing on rotation players rather than stars. That leaves them hunting for a high-end guy to team up with Laetu Latu on the edge. Meanwhile, they've got cap room to chase more deals before options dry up completely. The biggest roster gaps right now hit linebacker hard, especially after trading away Zaire Franklin, leaving them short on vets with Jalen Carly's as their most seasoned option. Defense of Line Depth is another worry, even if the starters are set, and wide receiver could use a boost without Michael Pittman locked in yet. Looking at top available names heading into Sunday, defensive ends like Joey Bosa,

Interior offensive linemen, including Wyatt Teller and Kevin Zitler, offer solid depth, while wide outs like Juan Jennings or even Stefan Diggs remain. On the board, though a draft pick might feel that spot instead, Ballad has time to plug these holes before turning to the draft, so expect the Colts to keep monitoring the market closely, as free agency rolls on.
