With free agency rapidly approaching, here’s a look at where the Indianapolis Colts top free agents: safety Mike Adams, defensive back Darius Butler, tight end Jack Doyle, and outside linebacker Erik Walden rank right now among the mainstream media:
- Mike Adams, Safety:
- NFL.com Top 101: N/R
- PFT’s Free Agent Hot 100: 99th
- NFL Trade Rumors: N/R
- Darius Butler, Defensive Back:
- NFL.com’s Top 101: 101st
- PFT’s Free Agent Hot 100: N/R
- NFL Trade Rumors: 85th
- Jack Doyle, Tight end:
- NFL.com Top 101: 66th
- PFT’s Free Agent Hot 100: 65th
- NFL Trade Rumors: 39th
- Erik Walden, Outside Linebacker:
- NFL.com Top 101: 87th
- PFT Free Agent Hot 100: 79th
- NFL Trade Rumors: N/R
Of course, it looks as though Doyle is the Colts most highly regarded free agent this offseason, while veteran players such as Adams, Butler, and Walden also received some recognition from the top free agent lists.
It presumably holds true in real life too, as Doyle should be the team’s top priority to re-sign among the Colts free agents, whereas Indianapolis could ultimately elect to get younger defensively over re-signing some of the aforementioned veterans.
