$189.000m = Estimated 2019 NFL Salary Cap
$049.594m = Roll-Over of unused portion from 2018 Colts Cap ========= $238.594m = Colts 2019 Salary Cap $114.512m = Current 2019 Colts Obligations $001.125m = 2019 Dead Money (Basham, Green, Morrison most of it) $002.145m = Estimated Draft Class (8 picks) $003.000m = In-Season "Churn" Space $001.300m = Practice Squad ========= $122.082m = Colts 2019 Obligations $116.512m = Cap Space Available to Sign Free Agents (our own and others) 2019 Colts Unrestricted Free Agents: PK Adam Vinatieri, 45 years old OG Matt Slauson, 33 years old DE Marqus Hunt, 32 years old NT Al Woods, 32 years old FS Mike Mitchell, 32 years old OT J'Marcus Webb, 31 years old LB Najee Goode, 30 years old WR Dontrelle Inman, 30 years old WR Ryan Grant, 28 years old CB Pierre Desir, 28 years old TE Ryan Hewitt, 28 years old SS Clayton Geathers, 27 years old OG Mark Glowinski, 27 years old DE Jihad Ward, 25 years old I was going to go into a LONG explination of whom I think needed to be re-signed before free agency starts and how much but I decided that was a conversation for later. Right now, I am hanging a price tag to re-sign: Glowinski, Desir, Geathers and Vinatieri to starter level contracts and Hunt, Inman and Ward to depth level contracts for a total of around $28m cap hit for 2019. Restricted Free Agents = CB Chris Milton, LB Luke Rhodes, SS Corey Moore, OC Evan Boehm, OC Josh Andrews, RB Jonathan Williams, WR Chester Rogers, SS Matthias Farley and TE Ross Travis. The RFA tag for 2019 will range somewhere from $1.6m - $1.8m and my guess that a few of those guys will get the RFA tag. Call it $5m for 3 of them. Total we can spend on other teams free agents = $83.5m As for Ryan Kelly, he has, thus far, been paid $8.575m over the first 3 years of his career including his signing bonus. Year 4 of his rookie contract (2019) will pay him an additional $1.875m for a total of $10.450m. If the Colts exercise the 5th year option on him for 2020 (which they should), that will pay him the average of the 3rd - 25th paid players at his position which for 2018 would be $5.78m. $10.45m for his first four years in the league. Around $6m for year five alone. That sound pretty darn fair in my book. In year six (2021), he will probably start making north of $10m a year but that is how the contracts are structured; both the NFL and players union wanted to stop paying so much to rookies and more to seasoned veterans who have shown they have earned it. NO NEED to re-sign Kelly two years early. Walk Worthy,

"Malik Hooker tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee and missed the final 9 games of the season."
Usually take a full season to recover such a big injury....can we wait for next season to see a fully recover ??

If it's true that any old JAG back deep would have a similar effect to the way we're utilizing Hooker, I don't see much reason to not continue to let him be that JAG. He's on a rookie contract, and I'm unaware of anyone likely to be sitting at whatever round of the draft we'd get for him that would address any of the pressing needs we have. Might as well wait and see.

I think Hooker is a case of great being the enemy of good. Hooker is not the problem of this team. He's good now and will be much better next year with a full year under his belt since the injury and Eberflus having an offseason to put him in better situations.
On another not how about those hands on Hines? Reich continues to find ways to use guys to their best ability.

My thoughts on Hooker. Yes he has been schemed out a little, but I think that is likely to change. I think early in the season, Flus et al knew they had a lot of young/new guys and they played it conservatively: a lot of soft zone and cover 2. But as the season has progressed, the zone is tightening up, we blitz a little more, and overl the defensive play calling has got more aggressive as the players have learned the system. This may end up making Hooker relevant again.
