Colts Target Saints Free Agent Tight End Juwan Johnson

The New Orleans Saints are facing a challenging free agency period with 18 players set to hit the market and limited cap space, making it unlikely they can retain all their talent. Notably, tight end Juwan Johnson, coming off a career year with 50 catches and 548 yards, is expected to be a sought-after free agent. The Indianapolis Colts have emerged as a prime candidate to sign Johnson, as they look to bolster their tight end position amid uncertainty around current players Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. Johnson's experience and production could provide significant support to young quarterback Anthony Richardson as he develops. With projections suggesting Johnson could command a three-year deal worth around $29 million, the Colts may need to act decisively to secure him. The Colts are also exploring other free agent options to address their roster needs more broadly as they aim for a turnaround next season.
