Does this mean we're approaching cap hell again?!

No, not at all. Once we move on from Brissett and Autry after this season things will even themselves out.

We could also move on from TY and Houston after this season, depending on their level of play, so...many options.

I do think that we have to prioritize getting a Ryan Kelly deal done though. Possibly Marlon Mack as well.

Buckner's deal is a 5-year deal.
Castonzo was a 2-year deal.
Everything else has been a 1-year deal.

Using Spotrac, the Colts currently have $21m unspent in 2020 and will need to use about $6m for 2020 expenses so would be able to roll over around $15m to 2021 if they make no more moves.

2021 cap is expected to be around $209m. Added to the roll-over, this would give the Colts around a $224m cap.

Current obligations are only $100m in 2021 including both the 2020 and 2021 draft class.

This would mean that the Colts would have $124m in free cap space for 2021.

However, while this is a huge number, Colts starter and quality depth free agents in 2021 include:

Phillip Rivers
Jacoby Brissett
T.Y. Hilton
Justin Houston
Denico Autry
Ryan Kelly
Qunicy Wilson
Marlon Mack
Grover Stewart
Anthonly Walker Jr.
Al-Quadin Muhammad
Xavier Rhodes
Sheldon Day
Malik Hooker (5th year option)

Kelly and Mack would need new deals and perhaps Walker and Stewart as "young" home-grown talent on the roster.

Older talent in Rivers, Hilton, Houston, Autry and perhaps Rhodes would need decisions on their value to the team going forward.

In good shape but lots of decisions needing going forward.

sherck used to be a regular poster on this forum. He kept a constant eye on the Colts salary cap and wrote up regular updates such as below:
