Colts’ biggest 2022 salary-cap hits amid free agency
The Indianapolis Colts are getting through free agency with the rest of the league and while they’ve been relatively quiet in terms of the number of moves they’ve made, they have been some splashes.
The trades in acquiring quarterback Matt Ryan and defensive end Yannick Ngakoue hold a lot of weight when it comes to the moves general manager Chris Ballard has made this offseason.
They’ve been quiet outside of that, but those two moves are going to have immediate impacts on both sides of the ball. With their quarterback in two, we should see the Colts go after a veteran pass-catcher in free agency while the addition of Ngakoue goes a long way for the pass rush.
With some moves made and new contracts signed, here’s a look at the biggest salary-cap hits for the Colts in 2022 amid free agency, per Over The Cap:
