In recent weeks, we’ve heard from many that the Colts are saving their cap space this season so that they can have more than enough money to retain the services of some of their megastars on the team.
A few weeks ago, I projected that the Colts would need to carry over about 20M in cap space this season in order to carry over a good amount for the extensions next offseason. They’ll use the money on players like Quenton Nelson, Darius Leonard, Braden Smith and Nyheim Hines. Those are the four biggest free agents next summer and the ones I’ll be focusing on for this article.
