The Indianapolis Colts aren’t a team that is expected to splurge in free agency. That’s just part of the process that general manager Chris Ballard has instilled over the last three offseasons.

Even with an abundance of salary-cap space—the second-most in the NFL—the Colts are likely to add more depth players while continuing to build through the draft. Even with some potentially strong fits out on the market, the Colts shouldn’t be expected to be major players in free agency.

Regardless, it is still important to look at who the best fits might be for the Colts on the market. Most of these players won’t sign with the Colts. Some of them won’t even be pursued by the Colts.
