Colts | High-profile players not of interest to Colts? Thu Feb 14, 06:43 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown and Steelers impending free-agent RB Le'Veon Bell are not expected to be intensely pursued by the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. The Colts will have the most salary cap space in the league this offseason and will do their due diligence, but Brown's off-field drama and Bell's asking price may be too much for the Colts.
| Footballguys view: The Bell non-interest seems a bit....odd. The Colts have over $100 million in cap space and Bell could put them over the top. Having Bell take handoffs and catch passes from Andrew Luck is like a dream come true. We'll see if they actually want to spend that money on a back who held out of the 2018 season entirely. |

Link to story Colts | Deon Cain may push for starting job Mon Jan 14, 08:56 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Deon Cain (knee) could be an option for the No. 2 receiver job next season if he can recover from his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Cain was a very intriguing prospect last year coming out of Clemson, and that's why the Colts selected him in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft. Measuring in at 6'2" 205 pounds, Cain has a great size/speed combination. He gets into his routes quickly and looks to be smooth in and out of his breaks. If he's healthy and plays up to his potential, Cain can be a capable no.2 receiver. Dynasty GMs need to keep an eye on him. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett appears unlikely to be traded during the offseason, as general manager Chris Ballard admitted Monday, Jan. 14, that 'it would take somebody doing something that would blow me away, and it has to be the right thing for the kid, too.'
| Footballguys view: Ballard revealed he turned down offers for Brissett during the 2018 season. The Colts have Brissett under contract through the 2019 season, so they may not be trading him now...but that doesn't mean he might not be available before the 2019 trade deadline. |

| Footballguys view: Undrafted out of Marian University in 2017, Hogan is one player we've been monitoring in crazy deep dynasty formats. He's fought through injuries as a pro, but Hogan has a nice size/speed combination at 6'3" 223 pounds. |
