INDIANAPOLIS — The primary player-adding portions of the NFL offseason have now come and past, as the high-surf waves of free agency, and now the 2020 NFL Draft, are finished.
Now we've reached the point in the offseason in which front offices keep tabs on the rest of the league, trimming their 90-man rosters and adding players at a modest rate in order to improve their lineups.
For most teams, they've done their part to try and address their team's biggest needs, whether it was through spending in free agency, or in the draft.
The Indianapolis Colts didn't have any dire needs when the offseason began, but they did have some areas to address. They've done a good job tending to those needs, whether it was by re-signing their own talent or bringing in competition for certain position groups.
As we sit here at the beginning of May, right before rookie minicamps could get started leaguewide (even if in a virtual format), the Colts do not have any pressing needs. There are certain things that need to be addressed at all times, like making sure you've got depth on the offensive and defensive lines, as well as solid backup plans at critical positions like quarterback. However, the front office has put the team in position to not immediately need anything at a starting level.
Anything the Colts do need is current depth or for future purposes, as they've got quite a haul of potential 2021 free agents. Here's a comprehensive look at what "needs" the Indy roster could address from this point forward.
