The Indianapolis Colts are clearly pleased with what they saw from Julian Blackmon during his rookie year, as they’ve allowed both Tavon Wilson (who signed with the 49ers) and Malik Hooker to negotiate with other teams in free agency.
While it remains to be seen if GM Chris Ballard, much like he did with Wilson last offseason, looks to add a veteran safety for insurance purposes, fans would be hard-pressed to be upset with the prospect of Blackmon and Khari Willis being locked in as the starters in the secondary.
