Who could be the replacement to Anthony Castonzo? Ben and Evan go over five prospects who could be intriguing options at No. 21 or No. 54: Samuel Cosmi, Christian Darrisaw, Teven Jenkins, Liam Eichenberg, Alex Leatherwood. Who would Ben bet on most to succeed next to Quenton Nelson?

Moving over to tight end, three names stand out from the rest as realistic fits: Pat Freiermuth, Brevin Jordan, and Tommy Tremble. Don't be surprised if Indy addresses their need for a vertical tight end early in the draft.

Colts get busy re-signing Xavier Rhodes; sign Isaac Rochell + Sam Tevi Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Evan and Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed go over the flurry of Indianapolis Colts news over the last few days.

First up, the most important addition was re-signing Xavier Rhodes to a 1-year, $6.5 million deal. Compared to the cornerback market, GM Chris Ballard pulled off another steal with Rhodes. In total, a two-year, $9.5 million commitment to a strong fit within their zone-heavy scheme.

Next, we go over two former LA Chargers landing in Indy. Isaac Rochell was the first outside signing on a 1-year, $2.5 million deal. Is Rochell more of an Al-Quadin Muhammad replacement than Denico Autry. Sam Tevi was signed as a cheap swing tackle on Monday evening. Tevi provides much-needed depth for the Colts' offensive line.

Closing out the show, Sammy Watkins will be visiting Indy on Wednesday. Will Watkins can replace T.Y. Hilton or be a top-rated depth option? Also, with the WR market dried up, will Hilton return to Indy?

Will T.Y. Hilton Return to the Colts at a Discounted Price? Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed returns to go over Day 2 of NFL free agency. Once again, the Colts remained quiet outside of restricted tags given out to Zach Pascal, Mo Alie-Cox, and George Odum.

Outside of that, the wide receiver market is the biggest storyline thus far. With everything moving slow, and cheaper, than expected, what does this mean for T.Y. Hilton? Marvin Jones and Emmanuel Sanders, two players in Hilton's expected tier, both signed for less than $8 million per year. Will Hilton now fall in the range, too? Evan and Stephen believe so, with a projected contract around 2-years, $15 million being the sweet spot.

After Tennessee made big moves with Bud Dupree and former Colt Denico Autry, Jacksonville stepped up on Tuesday signing some names of their own. Will Jacksonville push Indy at all in the AFC South race?

Closing out the show, we go over Jacoby Brissett signing with the Miami Dolphins. How should Brissett's tenure with the Indianapolis Colts be remembered?

All of this, plus so much more, in a loaded podcast even for a quiet day in free agency!

Colts Remain Quiet on Day 1 of Free Agency Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Evan Sidery is joined by Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed to recap the first day of 2021 NFL free agency. Not surprisingly, the Colts stayed quiet. However, the movement outside of Indy was robust.

First up, a former Colt is now off the open market. Denico Autry signed a 3-year, $21.5 million deal with division rival Tennessee. How will Autry signing with the Titans impact Indianapolis? Is Tyquan Lewis about to break out in Year 4 in Autry's role next to DeForest Buckner?

New England was the big spender on Monday. The Patriots were spending all of their salary cap space on Jonnu Smith, Matthew Judon, and Nelson Agholor. Will New England make a push in the AFC after these moves, or will they be the latest team to disappoint after splurging in free agency?

EDGE rushers are all gone for Indianapolis. All of the top names are already gone after the first 24 hours: Shaquille Barrett, Carl Lawson, Yannick Ngakoue, Bud Dupree, and Romeo Okwara are signing elsewhere. Indy is now positioned to bargain shop once more, or they could be targeting pass rush at No. 21 overall next month.

Closing out the show, we go over how the market is looking at left tackle, wide receiver, cornerback, and tight end. Will the Colts make a move at one of these positions very soon?
