The Indianapolis Colts are attacking the offseason with gusto, assigning priority levels to all of their own in-house free agents while looking at the developing open market for potential upgrades.
With just under $20 million of projected cap space for Indy to work with at the present moment, we're here to look at the best out-of-house options with our list of the Top 3 Realistic Free Agents Fits For The Colts.
RB Bilal Powell
Want a speedy third-down back who can help to easy veteran Frank Gore's workload and add an extra dimension to the offense going forward? Powell's the guy, and he'll come on the relative cheap.
Powell averaged over seven yards per touch as a backup for the New York Jets last year, and he'd become one of Andrew Luck's favorite targets as a receiver out of the backfield.
OL Alex Boone
Boone could be a plug-and-play replacement for the disappointing Hugh Thornton at left guard. He also can shift anywhere else on the offensive line, providing both grit and versatility in equal does.
He's reportedly engaged with the San Francisco 49ers front office in regards to a return, but the quarterback situation is such a toss-up in SF that it could end up hurting Boone's future value by proxy. That's where the Colts and Andrew Luck enter the picture...
CB Sean Smith
Greg Toler is likely on his way out of town, leaving a starting spot for Smith to fill. While he's not one of the "marquee" names on the defensive back board, he's a consistent force who quietly emerged as one of the game's most underrated cornerbacks during his last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Colts are in need of a secondary boost, and Smith could come at the right price.
