Veteran offensive tackle Eric Fisher has agreed to a one-year, $9.4 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The Kansas City Chiefs released the 30-year-old along with their other starting tackle, Mitchell Schwartz, in March. Together, their departures freed up $18.3 million in salary-cap space with the salary cap falling from $198.2 million to $182.5 million in 2021.
Along with the cost-savings, the front office had to weigh what kind of return Fisher would provide on the field for the upcoming season.
