2022 free agents
 

Before we get excited about any projected $100 Million in cap space, consider the list of free agents that Chris Ballard is facing…

Darius Leonard
Eric Fisher
TY Hilton
Mark Glowinsky
Xavier Rhodes
TJ Carrie
Zach Pascal
Mo Alie Cox
Al Quadin Muhammad
Marlon Mack
Kemoko Turay
Nyheim Hines
Matthew Adame
Zaire Franklin
And 39 others

Only 39 others?

The Colts have 53 free agents next year???

Out of 89 players currently on roster, yes, there are 52 free agents and 37 players under contract for 2022. That 89 will be cut down to 53, at which point the list shown will likely be the total list of free agents.

Well I don't know about those 39 others, but the following will almost surely not be offered FA contracts:
Eric Fisher (clearly a temporary fill in)
TY Hilton (this is his last year as a colt)
Marlon Mack (same as TY)

The following are likely not being re-upped, but there's a chance they might be:
Xavier Rhodes
Al Quadin Muhammad
Kemoko Turay (depends entirely on his production this year)
Matthew Adams (good but replaceable)
Zaire Franklin (good but replaceable)

The following I would hope are kept but are still likely to be replaceable:
Mark Glowinsky
TJ Carrie
Zach Pascal
Mo Alie Cox
Nyheim Hines

That leaves only 1 that you gotta keep:
Darius Leonard

Fisher may be long term.

I agree if things go well overall for the Colts and Fisher rediscovers his prior form, we would be looking to sign him to a 2 year deal.

I also think that if Hilton were to have a 1000 yard season we would look to try to re-sign him as well. Depends on performance throughout the season, which could in theory be said of any of the players, but at least Hilton has shown history of proven performance.

The other guy I would like to think has a good chance of being re-signed is Turay. Although if he bursts out and ends up getting 12 sacks, it might prove difficult for us to be able to afford his new contract.

I would guess hines comes back unless he gets some crazy offer from another team
