Agreed. Ebron was a good signing and is a good player with more upside, but if the reports are true that he made a "business decision" and IR'ed himself in preparation for free agency, he won't be returning to Colts nor should he. I like the guy as a player, but you don't need that kind of attitude. Someone will pay him though.

My guess is that Sheard is probably gone. Another good signing, but the guy is over 30 and that means, statistically speaking, he'll be on the downside of his career. I can't imagine the Ballard will be willing to give him any sort of long term, high dollar contract unless it has lots of team escape clauses. Sheard can probably get a better deal elsewhere.

I have to think that Castonzo will be back. The guy has been rock solid and OL continuity is important. Yes, he's 31, but OL careers are longer and they peak later. I could see a franchise tag here if a contract can't get worked out.

TY Hilton is under contract for 2020 already, and I can't see why he'd be cut or moved. Yes, he's had a few injuries, but the guy performs, he's a playmaker, and we are very thin at WR already. Also, he'll be in his contract year in 2020, so he'll have further incentive to perform.
