The Indianapolis Colts are facing a critical offseason as several notable free agents prepare to hit the market. On the defensive side, safety Julian Blackmon and linebacker E.J. Speed are prominent names, while center Ryan Kelly and tight end Mo Alie-Cox lead the offensive contingent. However, veteran right guard Will Fries could be the most sought-after player after an injury-plagued season.

Despite only appearing in five games during 2024, Fries is expected to generate significant interest for teams looking to bolster their offensive lines. Reports suggest he ranks among the top 20 free agents this offseason, with analysts indicating he will attract serious offers as he regains his health. The Colts, with over $20 million in cap space available, may consider retaining Fries, but competition from other teams looms as a potential hurdle.
