how much do we think mike jenkins will cost?

Not sure but we need a corner to battle with big receivers but we need to look at some safety's Beathea had a bad year and is not really a play maker we need at saftey after his contract might be time to move on

1.  O-line

 

2.  Secondary help (number two corner plus safety)

 

3.  OLB to replace Freeney

 

4.  DT and DE if we don't keep Moala

 

5.  WR, we have three guys in Wayne, Hilton and Brazil that we know will be on the roster next year but we have nothing proven behind them.  Also after the last two years are done on Wayne's contract I think he will be gone one way or another so the Colts need to at least start thinking about his replacement rather that be a free agent or a draft pick.

FYI...Nice Information:

Possible cap casualties: In his first season at the helm of the Colts, general manager Ryan Grigson made the decision to part ways with several veterans, many of whom had recently signed multi-year extensions. As a result, the Colts had around $40 million in "dead" money on last year's cap. Cap Space: (43.79 million)

With over $40 million in available space in 2013, the Colts won't have to make similar cuts. However, if Grigson really wants some additional space, a quick way to do that would be to convert Robert Mathis' $3 million roster bonus, which is due on March 14, into a signing bonus. By prorating that amount over the three years that remain on Mathis' current contract, the Colts would gain an additional $2 million in cap space in 2013, but would add $1 million to his 2014 and 2015 cap numbers. With this much cap space, though, there's no reason to push cap dollars into future seasons.
