Colts’ Jim Irsay on Ongoing Contract Talks: ‘We Would Really Like to Get It Done with Darius and Braden’

According to team owner Jim Irsay, the Indianapolis Colts remain in ongoing contract negotiations with 2020 NFL All-Pro Darius Leonard and ‘should’ve been’ 2020 Pro Bowler Braden Smith—hopeful that new lucrative multi-year deals will get done for both former 2018 2nd round picks (via The Athletic’s Zak Keefer):

The Colts are equipped with a projected $83.0M of available cap space in 2022, and a significant chunk figures to be eaten up by Leonard and Smith’s new mega-deals—both of whom are expected to be among the highest paid players at their respective positions (presumably the highest now in Leonard’s case).
