Jabaal Sheard | Indianapolis Colts | Age: 30

When it comes to options on the market, Sheard has to be considered. A staple in the defensive line since he arrived in 2017, Sheard has been a leader in the locker room and a steady contributor for the Colts. But there is a high chance his time has come to an end in Indy.

Sheard is going to be 31 in May and while he has been a solid asset for the Colts, he would provide more of a stable option rather than an upside play. Sheard had 15.5 sacks over the last three seasons with the Colts and no season with more than six in a single campaign.

Sheard would be a signing to add veteran leadership to the locker room and keep some of the mentality fresh in the minds of the younger players, but he can’t be relied upon to be the game-changer the Colts are hoping to add at some point this offseason.
