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:

Low pay, low risk guys whom I would like the Colts to sign to round out the roster heading into the draft:

1. Jadeveon Clowney. Yeah, this is a pipe dream unless we get someone desperate to trade for Jacoby Brissett but he would be a great "stud" to put opposite Houston in 2020. A front four on passing downs of Houston, Autry, Buckner and Clowney? Money. But, it is probably not happening.

2. Jabaal Sheard. If not Clowney, then I would want to bring back Sheard. The DE rotation of Houston, Sheard, Turray, Muhammad and Banogu is what we had last season but with better DT play and, hopefully, a step forward from Turray and Banogu, that group would have better performance in 2020.

3. Mike Person or Evan Boehm. Both former Colts. Both started games for us in either 2017 (Person) or 2018 (Boehm). Both are solid depth choices for the interior of the O-Line. Both are looking for work and would give us a veteran inside presence to have a safety blanket.

4. Eric Berry. Safety is thin, IMO, and a veteran presence with the experience and former play making ability of Berry would be a welcome addition. I would be much more confident in playing a 3-Safety look with Hooker, Willis and Berry than Hooker, Willis and Odum. I don't know his asking price but if reasonable, he would be a good add to fill out quality depth.

5. And if not Eric Berry, 35-year old Antonie Bethea is still available and played pretty darn well for the Giants over the past couple of seasons. The Mike Adams effect, anyone?

I don't know how much more Ballard will do in free agency prior to the draft but these are guys whom I think could help the squad and would not break the bank (with the exception of Clowney).

Id bring back Sheard. He holds the edge, plays good run D, and pushes on pass rush. No, he’s not Freeney. He plays tough run D, always in his gap

I would suspect low but my guess is that Ballard is waiting to see what the draft brings and then will try to fill holes after...just like every other NFL team.

sherck did this for several years via his own spreadsheet before the Sportrac and Overthecap websites and before the national and local NFL beat writers were reporting all the contracts by Twitter.

When Sportrac and Overthecap debuted, there was a lot of incorrect information on the websites. They are both a lot better now - but they usually contain a few contract errors per team. These errors are revealed when fans send questions about a contract guarantee or detail to the local reporters and the reporters check with the team for the answer.

The Colts are expected to sign Fullback Roosevelt Nix today.

The #Colts are expecting to sign FB Roosevelt Nix to a one-year deal later today, per source. The 28-year-old earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2017 with the #Steelers.

The Colts are signing former Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix, a source confirmed. Schultz_Report had it first.

Nix is a lead blocker, but a good one. Made the Pro Bowl in 2017.
