Colts Consider Free Agency Moves, Face Key Player Decisions

As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for the 2025 offseason following a disappointing 2024 season, they are focusing on free agency to address roster gaps. The hiring of defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, along with his former Bengals staff, may enhance the team's appeal to potential defensive free agents, particularly in the secondary where they struggled last season. Key targets include defensive backs like Hilton and linebacker Davis-Gaither, who could significantly improve the Colts' defense. Additionally, the Colts face tough decisions regarding current players, notably edge rusher Samson Ebukam, who had a breakout season in 2023 but missed all of 2024 due to injury. General manager Chris Ballard's approach to free agency will be scrutinized as he seeks to revamp the roster, potentially making cuts to create cap space while addressing critical needs. The team's quarterback situation remains uncertain, as recent performance issues with Richardson may prompt them to explore competition for the starting role in the upcoming season.
