Will the Colts re-sign Clayton Geathers?

There have been reports that the strong safety has been meeting with other teams, including Dallas. Will the Colts opt to keep him?

Clayton Geathers has been the starting safety for the Colts the last couple of years. But there is a chance he ends up playing for someone else come next season. He has been meeting with a plethora of other teams, even though he doesn’t have a deal just yet.

The Colts seem interested in re-signing Geathers and have expressed that numerous times this offseason. But they also haven’t tried super hard to bring him back either. Both sides seem content to let the market cool a little bit before a decision is made.

Geathers would be the first starter that the Colts would have lost in free agency if he decides to sign somewhere else. He has had his injury problems though, missing various games with various injuries such as neck and knee problems. That is a concern for teams.

That concern might be what ultimately brings him back to Indy. They know him and he knows them. That familiarity can help in a situation like that. The Colts have always been intrigued by his potential at that position. But obviously his potential doesn’t help them right now.

Will the Colts ultimately decide to sign someone else though? There aren’t that many good options left. Eric Berry is a big name, but he has been slowed by injuries in recent years, and his age is starting to catch up to him. Once you hit your 30’s everyone starts to slow down.

There should be a resolution to this issue relatively soon. We will know whether or not the Colts like Geathers enough to give him one more shot.
