2026 NFL Offseason: Free Agents, Draft Notes, Predictions

(Multiple Contributors)

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ft-predictions



*********************************



Indianapolis Colts


2025 record: l 8-9

Final FPI Ranking: l No. 21 (Out of 32 Teams)

Estimated 2026 Cap Space: l $36.3 Million

2026 1st-Round Draft Pick: l None (traded to the New York Jets)


What is their top offseason priority ??? ) Resolve their quarterback situation ...... Daniel Jones lit it up in his first season with Indy, but he'll be a free-agent in March, when he'll still be recovering from a torn right Achilles. The Colts seem inclined to run it back with Jones, but they've got to reach a deal and confirm his injury progress.

What is one secondary priority to watch ??? ) Re-tool the defensive line ...... the Colts have stuck with this group for years, but the results have been too intermittent to assume this group returns en-masse. This will be tricky with no 1sst-round pick, but the Colts need more juice on the edge.

Latest on the head coach situation: ) The Colts lost their final 7 games to complete a historic collapse after an 8-2 start ...... but the team's ownership has decided not to make significant changes, with the Colts announcing less than 3 hours after a season-ending loss to the Texans that General Manager Chris Ballard and Head Coach Shane Steichen will return for the 2026 season.

I like Jaelan Phillips, just not his injury history. The Senior Bowl is supposed to be loaded with Edge Rushers. If that turns out to be true, let's get one.

A blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally, that's my hope.

Well, the hope is, that he has learned from his previous mistakes.
