As the NFL gears up for the next offseason, left tackle Bernhard Raimann of the Indianapolis Colts has emerged as a potential star free agent for 2026, according to an early list from The Athletic. Raimann, who has become a cornerstone of the Colts' offensive line since being drafted in 2022, showcased his exceptional skills in both pass protection and run blocking during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

With a remarkable pass-blocking efficiency ranking him among the top tackles in the league, Raimann has also proved to be a significant asset in the run game, helping star running back Jonathan Taylor achieve impressive yardage. His continued development has captured the attention of general manager Chris Ballard, who noted the impressive strides Raimann has made in his young career. As he becomes extension-eligible, the Colts face the challenge of retaining a player poised for a breakout contract year.
