I strongly suspect that Rivers will be back, and my guess is that neither Rhodes nor Autry will return. Nothing wrong with either player, and I'm not saying we wouldn't want them back, but both will probably get better offers elsewhere, and I just don't see Ballard matching a big dollar multi-year deal on a 30-year CB or DT (not that Autry will get a mega deal or anything, just that I'd expect it to be more than the Colts would offer)
As far as free agency, I'd expect a similar approach to what we've seen in the past. However, I don't think that what happens with Rivers, Rhodes or Autry will really dictate whether or not we sign someone in free agency.
