4 free agents Colts should watch in AFC, NFC Championship games

There are some free agents to watch in the championship games.

The AFC and NFC Championship games kick Sunday afternoon between the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.

The Colts are still two months away from NFL free agency being an actual thing, but there are still players they can keep an eye on during the playoffs that might intrigue them when March rolls around.

Here are four pending free agents the Colts should watch on Sunday:

49ers DE Arik Armstead

After a career of being labeled mostly as a bust, Armstead had a career campaign in 2019. It came at the perfect time as the former first-round pick is set to hit free agency following the expiration of his rookie contract.

Through his first four seasons in the NFL, Armstead recorded 9.0 sacks combined. Things weren’t looking good for the Oregon product until he exploded for 10.0 sacks in 2019, which could intrigue teams more when he hits the market.

Armstead (6’7, 292) could play both on the edge and the interior for the Colts. They certainly need some help in the latter area.
