Jim Irsay Says Colts Still Looking For Left Tackle As Villanueva Remains Available

It is something of a surprise that two-time Pro Bowl Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Alejandro Villanueva not simply remains unsigned, but has had very little interest so far on the open market. To date, other than Pittsburgh, the only team reported to have shown interest is the Baltimore Ravens, who may be looking for a right tackle to replace Orlando Brown, who is looking to be traded.

The team that many expected would target a player like Villanueva this offseason was the Indianapolis Colts, who weathered the surprise retirement of Pro Bowl left tackle Anthony Castonzo. One option they have considered is moving All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to tackle, but recently, Colts owner Jim Irsay has admitted they would like to avoid that.
