The safety position might be the most unpredictable spot on the Indianapolis Colts’ roster this offseason.
The starting strong safety, Julian Blackmon, is slated for free agency next month. And the free safety role was split between youngsters Rodney Thomas II and Nick Cross in 2023.
The latter spot is targeted for improvement by general manager Chris Ballard.
“I do think we’ve got to get more consistency out of the free safety position,” Ballard said.
“That’s not quite a knock because they’re both young players. Thomas had some good moments. Cross had some really good moments, but we need more consistent moments from that position.
