INDIANAPOLIS — The sheer amount of money that will be available is staggering.

When the NFL’s new league year begins March 13 and the free-agent market opens, the Colts likely will have more than $100 million in salary cap space, even after Indianapolis locks up a few of its own before they can hit the open market.

Because of all that space, the Colts will be the speculated destination for just about every big name available at a position of need and a few who play positions already stocked deep in Indianapolis.
