The Colts opened up their offseason workout program without linebacker Jerrell Freeman last week with Freeman’s absence reportedly related to his desire for a longer commitment than the one-year restricted free agent tender offer the Colts extended before the start of free agency.
By not signing his tender, Freeman kept open the possibility that a team other than the Colts might want to sign him to such a deal but the need to hand over a second-round pick as compensation for signing the three-year vet may have kept suitors at bay.
