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.

Nice work

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:

Huh?

I just went to Spotrac and added and subtracted. Not much to it.

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 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.
