After somewhat of a dead period, the NFL will bring about plenty of news with the legal tampering period set to begin Monday.
At noon, teams can contact the representation of an unrestricted free agent set to hit the market. They can discuss “all aspects of an NFL player contract” but cannot execute a contract until the new league year begins on Wednesday.
Teams can only talk to unrestricted free agents. The Colts have roughly 19 players set to hit free agency, with the majority of them being unrestricted. Players like Mo Alie-Cox and George Odum cannot be approached by other teams just yet because they are restricted free agents. The Colts have yet to extend an offer sheet to either player.
The Colts have plenty of salary-cap space to work with during free agency with a few big needs to address. How active they will be isn’t clear but it’s a good bet that they will find value and plug holes where they see fit rather than splurging as some are predicting.
There are some interesting names on the market for the Colts this offseason and they can finally begin approaching players at noon on Monday.
