Arik Armstead | Age: 26 | Free Agency

Was it a flash in the pan because of his supporting cast or did Armstead actually make a big jump in production in his fifth season? That’s a question and a risk the Colts—and other teams—will have to consider when pursuing Armstead.

Likely a cheaper option than Clowney and Ngakoue, Armstead is coming off of a season in which he recorded a career-high 10.0 sacks, leading the entire 49ers defense in that category. His 11 tackles for loss and 18 quarterback hits were second-most on the team behind Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa.

There is plenty of risk involved with signing Armstead, but he had a productive season in 2019 and has the versatility to work all along the front for the Colts.
