Don’t expect the Colts to sign any more free agents until after the draft. This shouldn’t come as any surprise to Colts fans though.

The Colts know that all of their focus needs to be on this week’s draft. That is why you shouldn’t expect any players to be signed in free agency until after the draft is complete. It really makes a lot of sense when you think about it. They should wait to see who they draft until they look to see if they need to sign anyone.

There isn’t any official word out that the Colts won’t sign anyone before the draft, but this is just my personal opinion. It wouldn’t make any sense for them to sign someone if they can get that guy for a cheaper price via the draft in a later round.

Because of the draft being this week, I wouldn’t expect anyone to be signed to the Colts for a few weeks that isn’t an undrafted free agent. I don’t think they are done signing free agents from this free agent class, but they need to focus on the draft with all of their power.

Typically I would say this would be the case with most teams in the league. But there have been other teams who have signed players very recently. That is a little bit surprising considering that could change their draft board a few days before it starts.

If the Colts do sign a free agent before Thursday, it would likely be someone who they are very familiar with.
