2020 likely Free Agents the Indianapolis Colts should pursue
By Daniel Davis
Chris Ballard made it clear the front office wasn’t satisfied with the season, nor that Jacoby Brissett will be the starter for the Colts in 2020.
Leading up to this press conference – more so after – there have been many rumors of quarterbacks the Colts may pursue, but not much other than that. The Colts need more help than just a quarterback to be a contending team once again.
Rock Ya-Sin had growing pains, and the Colts secondary was tested due to their lack of depth besides Pierre Desir and Malik Hooker. Even though the defense built upon their success of last season and Bobby Okereke stood out as well as Anthony Walker and Darius Leonard having historic back to back seasons, they still struggled against the pass.
The offensive line held strong for the second straight year, but Anthony Castonzo will be a free agent once March 2020 comes along – I highly doubt the front office will allow him to test the market – but a deal should be done by the time the official league year opens.
The Colts also learned a hard lesson they learned last year: T.Y Hilton can’t carry this passing game and neither can Jacoby Brissett. There also have been rumors of the Colts looking to let Eric Ebron walk after the disappointing sophomore season he had for the Colts filled with drops and injury issues. Stating “we’ll probably move on,” Chris Ballard made it clear they wouldn’t pursue the tight end who scored 14 touchdowns in 2018.
I recently did an in-house free agent list who we should pursue to being back in 2020, but this article I will be focusing on the Colts getting into the free agency market with players who played on different teams in 2019.
