Every year there are a few surprise roster cuts from every team in the NFL. Most happen around late-August as teams prepare to trim the roster from 90 to 53. There are also surprise cuts that happen in early-March before free agency starts as teams try to clear cap room going into free agency.

The Indianapolis Colts aren’t strapped for cash, they’re projected to have the second-most cap space in the NFL at around $93 million come March if they don’t re-sign any of their in-house free agents.

People could look at examples including 2018 when the Colts cut veteran John Simon, or in 2019 when they let go of Krishawn Hogan. With that being said, let’s look at a few players that could Colts could release this offseason:

RG Mark Glowinski

Chris Ballard really values offensive line play, and he mentioned in his end-of-season presser that the right side of the offensive line needs to be better in 2020. While Braden Smith is still making the transition from guard to tackle, and struggled a bit last year, Glowinski was arguably worse this year.

After signing a three-year, $16 million contract last offseason, he underperformed in 2019. If the Colts were to let Glowinski go before June 1, it would cost them $2.8 million, but they would save $3.35 million.

If the Colts sign or draft someone and they out-played Glowinski and Indianapolis wanted to release him after training camp, it would cost them $1.4 million for the 2020 and 2021 season, but they would save close to $5 million.

Right now, Glowinski is the starter and that could be the case heading into 2020. But the Colts need to upgrade at the position moving forward.
