With the Indianapolis Colts on their bye week, let’s take a peek ahead to the 2025 offseason with the best players slated to become free agents.
For the Colts this past offseason, GM Chris Ballard opted not to utilize free agency all that much, with only Raekwon Davis and Joe Flacco as the only outside additions made to the roster. Instead, Ballard prioritized re-signing his own.
However, that approach and faith in his roster has left the Colts with some underperforming position groups.
With the growth we’ve seen from Richardson, the 2025 offseason with be crucial in helping the Colts go from a fringe playoff team to making that the expectation rather than just a hope.
The Colts are currently set to have $49.765 million in available cap space in 2025, according to Over the Cap. League-wide, this ranks as the 16th-most next offseason.
Will we see Ballard be more aggressive in free agency this offseason? If you’d like to keep that hope alive, here are some of the top pending free agents at each position group with help from Pro Football Network:
