Favorite Free Agency Fits for the Indianapolis Colts: On today's episode, Evan and Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed go over their favorite fits for the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. Who makes the cut? Not surprisingly, a couple of frequent names make an appearance, but also notice the trend. Pass rush and adding weapons for new quarterback Carson Wentz. Before we dive into all of this, though, we quickly go over more veteran cuts around the NFL. Who makes sense for Indy? After signing Xavier Rhodes and Justin Houston as former cuts, keep an eye on Indy doing this again for a third straight year. Evan believes stealing one or maybe two offensive weapons from division rival Tennessee makes so much sense. Jonnu Smith and Corey Davis are names to watch out for once the legal tampering period officially opens. Curtis Samuel is another underrated option if Indy decides to let T.Y. Hilton walk in free agency. Pass rush is crucial for Indy to take the next step in 2021. Who makes sense for th by Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts
