6 bargain signings Colts can still make to improve roster

Colts add star power play in the secondary

Alright, Tyrann Mathieu isn’t a bargain signing, but with the way the cap can be manipulated, it is a possible signing that Indianapolis can create more room for.

Any Colts fan that I’ve talked to wants Ballard to sign Tyrann Mathieu to a deal to pair him with Julian Blackmon. This move would likely move Khari Willis into a cornerback role, which could happen.

Willis is also in a contract year and will be an unrestricted free agent next year if he does not get an extension. Adding Mathieu this year would create one of the most feared defenses in the NFL.

Adding him would also cost the Colts a pretty penny and would likely take the rest of the remaining cap space. His market value has him listed at $14.4 million per year. Without restructuring any more contracts, that would take all but about $7.6 million of the remaining cap space.

Keep in mind, the Colts still have to add their draft picks to the cap space, which should account for almost $5 million.

Ryan’s contract has been restructured to add more money and now the Colts can add Mathieu and even more talent to this Indianapolis roster.

In addition to Mathieu, the Colts could add Trae Waynes from the Cincinnati Bengals. A proven veteran corner that could slide right into a starting role in the Colts’ secondary. This would add much-needed depth to that position as well.

With these two additions to the Colts roster, that gives an Indy secondary of Blackmon, Mathieu, Willis, Facyson, Rodgers, Moore, and Waynes. That’s already an improvement over last season.

Will Dolphins adding Tyreek Hill make DeVante Parker a trade candidate for Colts?

The Indianapolis Colts could have a new receiver target in DeVante Parker after the recent blockbuster moves around the NFL.
