Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts - MOVING ON?: How Indianapolis Colts Can Replace Potential Departing Stars

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Indianapolis Colts could be set to replace some key contributors this off season. Let's get to it. You are Locked on Colts, your daily Indianapolis Colts podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to Locked on Colts, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network. Now, the number one sports podcast network around. Hello, everyone. My name is Zach Kixier, resident Phil nerd of horseshoe huddle.com. And I'm joined, as always, by Jake Arthur.

Starting point is 00:00:37 The boots on the ground over at Roundtable Sports. Today, we're going to be diving into a couple potential departures for the Colts this offseason. Two notable free agents and one wide receiver who, look, the contract's got to be touched in some way. So we'll see what could happen. If the Colts move on from these three players, though, what are some potential options to replace them? Whether it's in-house, whether it's a draft, whether it's free agency, we're going to go through it all today. but Jake, we're going to kick it off with the veteran wide receiver. Michael Pittman Jr., who is set to make $29 million against the cap this next season.

Starting point is 00:01:14 We've talked about this at length already this offseason. He's not going to make that against the cap this next season, whether it's restructure, cut, extension, trade, whatever it's going to be. Pittman is not going to make $29 million against the cap, especially with the pending Alec Pierce Free Agency coming up. and what the Colts are going to pay him. So if they do move on from the veteran wide receiver, Jake, which direction do you think this team could go in terms of replacing that value

Starting point is 00:01:44 or just replacing his role in the lineup? Yeah, I think doing it by committee at receiver can be pretty tough because I think you have to have like, I think you have to have dudes that can win. And you do have that in this instance where we're projecting Alec Pierce to be resigned, Tyler Warren, but if you're just simply replacing Pittman in-house with like Ashton Doolin, Doolin's your only other really outside receiver. Like technically Anthony Gould can do it, but they usually use them at slot during training camp. Same with like Coleman Owen.

Starting point is 00:02:19 I'm sorry to break it, but I don't think Coleman Owen is going to be the guy out there replacing Michael Pitman Jr. Eli Pankle, neither for him either. The receiver market, I don't love it. I don't love a lot of free agent. positions anyways most years but this year receiver just really isn't it there's guys who are going to make even more than alec Pierce or i guess just george pickens you got some guys who are going to be pretty expensive pierce george pickens juan jennings like there's expensive guys out there

Starting point is 00:02:49 mike evans there's no way they they let him leave tampa and i'm sure he doesn't want to leave uh he's also quite old i looked at like romeo dobbs if you're looking for someone who's going to make like half of what Pittman was worth, around 15 million maybe AP, APY. Maybe you could roll with Romeo Dobbs because I'm trying to get guys that have some size and playmaking ability to them. Otherwise, if you want to go real cheap and kind of piecemeal it, Jalen Naylor from the Vikings or Jalen Tolbert from the Cowboys, around four or five million APY. But when I looked at that, I was like, that just all shows me that you have to go

Starting point is 00:03:28 through the draft to do that, really. and there were some guys that I thought could fit, you know, in the top 75 or so. Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Surrott, the IU tandem, of course, we've talked about them. Malachi Fields from Notre Dame, love him, height, weight, speed, playmaking ability. And you could say the same thing for Chris Brazzell from Tennessee as well. Those are some guys who I thought might fit a little bit to replace Pittman specifically, if you're looking for that. Yeah, and kind of to start off with the internal options, though. I do agree with you that, like, from a one-to-one,

Starting point is 00:03:59 perspective. Like Ashton Doolin's probably your only guy on the roster right now that A.D. Mitchell plays for the Jets. And, you know, I don't think that Doolin projects super well as like an every down full time, like full time wide receiver and all the time. But one other aspect that could lead to replacing some of that value just a little bit is one, the, the, what we're expecting the increase in snaps to be with Alec Pierce in terms of like when we go to 12 personnel, we're going to get Pierce out there as much as possible instead of what Pittman would be in a lot of these situations as well. But also when you go to these two wide receiver look, you know, when you're going into 12 personnel with two tight ends and two wide receivers, I think you could have Josh Downs

Starting point is 00:04:44 out there. It's just, it would work in a different way. You know, you'd want to have him avoiding press coverage as much as possible, having maybe the two receivers to one side on more stacked looks to get him away from that press. But I think Downs could use a bigger. roll. We saw Downs as snaps come down quite a bit this past season because the Colts went to more 12, because they went to more 13 personnel. So we could see, you know, Dooland take it when they're in more 11 personnel. But then you could also see Downs getting an increase in 12 and 13 personnel reps, just to get him on the field a little bit more this next season. So I don't think it has to be like a one-to-one replacement. I think you could, you know, replace Pittman kind of in the aggregate with

Starting point is 00:05:26 downs and duel in rather than just, you know, one player doing that. But I do agree with you that you still probably want to add another body because like behind those guys, you don't really have another body. And I'm way out on free agency for it. Like when do we really see free agency being this great avenue for free agent wide receivers? Like it's never really the place to go, especially in this era where so many like draft wide receivers are coming in and being productive in different ways, like early and often, I don't think I would ever, like, pay an outside free agent to come in here. It's one thing to pay your own guy who knows the system,

Starting point is 00:06:04 who you know what they can bring. But taking that risk on a guy in free agency at a position where the draft is always so full of players that can come in and produce, I just don't think I'd ever really pay an outside free agent unless it's like a top tier guy, like a George Pickens, but those guys don't hit the market. Like, guys at Alec Pierce's level don't hit the market. because Pierce isn't going to hit the market, you know?

Starting point is 00:06:27 So, yeah, I think in general I just wouldn't pay. Like, sure, like a Jaylen Naylor who's played a little bit could be fine on like a low-end deal, but knowing how desperation works in free agency, he could get up to $10 million a year, and it wouldn't shock me. So I think going the draft route to just fill out that wide receiver room makes the most sense. Yeah, and I think it also gives you, I think it gives you security number one to have a capable player step up, case of injury, which we know always happens, but to also have like a future plan in place. Like the AD Mitchell thing, it really was working actually in the Colts favor just to at least like have that option.

Starting point is 00:07:08 It just specifically him, you know, he found his way in the doghouse with the, you know, the Gaffs and the Rams game. Like, but having that like young developmental guy who was like a top 75 pick and like is a legit prospect, not just a Mike strong type. guy that you picked late who may one day become something. But like E.D. Mitchell already was something, you know. So I think you get somebody like that. Unfortunately, earlyish in the draft, probably like second or third round, as much as I just want to dump the draft on defense, basically. But, yeah, you probably need to get someone relatively early in the draft,

Starting point is 00:07:51 by round fourth the latest, I would say. But by doing that, because I'm cool with having Ashton Dooland with an increased role in Josh Downs as well, I think they're good players in specific roles. So you allow them to do that. You get, you know, Tyler Warren out there more often. Maybe that opens something for Will Mallory. But you also have this guy who can play five snaps a game, which it doesn't seem sexy very much, obviously. But they're developing behind the scenes and they can move into a greater role beyond this year. into the next one and shoot maybe if they're surprisingly productive or like surprisingly good i'm not

Starting point is 00:08:31 saying pukinakua because it's annoying to be looking for the next pukinakua every year but like someone who is surprisingly productive more than you know you draft them in the third round and they go out there and catch 30 balls 30 to 40 balls or something you know what i mean like more a little more productive than you would initially anticipate or that they're playing time you had initially like lotted for him. I just think it's good to have that option kind of waiting in the wings behind everybody else. Now, like you trying to get more Will Mallory mentions on the show. I think we have to lead the NFL and Will Mallory mentions for an episode. We need to know what a Will Mallory opportunity looks like before the experiment ends.

Starting point is 00:09:14 You know what I mean? We have to know first. Look, Jake, he's a six-rounder who's been on the roster for three years. That's as big an opportunity as you're going to get as being a six-round pick. All I know. I think is what he was. Is the guy can get separation and make tough catches. I just want to see. In practice.

Starting point is 00:09:31 No, in games. In games. I want to know what it looks like. Yeah, but I don't even disagree with you. I'm just making fun of you here. But, like, yeah, I think a lot of this work. I will also say, I think the best case scenario here,

Starting point is 00:09:43 if there's any avenue for it, is just getting some kind of pay cut or restructure on that contract. Because, like, if you can get Pittman down to, like, $15 to $16 million per year, that'd be awesome, but it's hard to convince a guy to take less money, you know, to play for you. So if that's on the table, 100% take it. But I agree with you. I just think the best case scenario for this is just replace him kind of in the aggregate,

Starting point is 00:10:08 duel in a little bit more snaps, downs more snaps. And then a drafted rookie anywhere, you know, it could be as high as a second round pick. It could be as low as a fifth, fourth or fifth round pick, preferably maybe a little bit higher than that. But I think you can replace him in the aggregate more than you could, Alec Pierce, at least, in this offense. But coming up, we're going to talk about another potential replacement needed, and that is at safety with Nick Cross hitting the market, there have been conflicting reports on how much he could make this all season. But if the Colts lose him, what could they do at that safety position? If you've ever hired someone who looked good on paper, but they just weren't

All right, welcome back, everybody. We are kind of putting a few Colts prominent players under this spotlight here, guys who, it makes a lot of sense that they're not going to be back for one reason or another in 2026. We started out with Michael Pittman Jr., although the Colts could look. to rework that deal. $29 million in 2026 is just unrealistic for a player.

Starting point is 00:12:54 That's not giving you $29 million per year worth of productivity. And we're going to move on now to safety knit cross. So so far as that, Cross has been kind of a true draft and developed success story for the Colts and Chris Ballard. They drafted him at 20 years old out of Maryland. He was super raw. Didn't have a lot of experience there at Maryland. yet, you know, super athletic guy who was just kind of learning to become a sum of his parts. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:13:24 Took him a couple years in Indy to catch on. They didn't really have great answers at safety, but he could not step forward and really grasp that spot in Gus Bradley's defense, at least. But now for a couple years, he's been a starter, has had well over 100 tackles, been very productive both times, had like three or four picks two years ago. so he could do a bit out there. Now, we're at the point where he's still very young and has been very productive. But we have seen the safety market like last year, for example.

Starting point is 00:13:58 We used Trouin Mourg as a good example, where if you're getting to be like $15 million per year, Nick Cross, I'm not saying he wouldn't be worth that to someone, but like for the Colts, that's a hard pill to swallow because you're already paying Mooney. Ward 20 million a year. Sauce Gardner has a huge contract. You just signed Cam Bynham, a fellow safety last year to a big deal. So it's really hard to justify putting another big contract in that starting secondary. And if you're looking to justify it with just play, like he's great against the run and he's great at defending what's in front of him for the most part. But there are some lapses in coverage, especially like when you get closer to the red zone,

Starting point is 00:14:44 you know, when it looks like there's a blown coverage, he seems to kind of be tied to it. And a lot of times it results in a touchdown. So there's plenty of reasons to bring Knit Cross back, but, you know, you could talk yourself out of it, mostly based on price. Yeah, they're going to be allocating so much cap already to the secondary. And if you want to make this defense better,

Starting point is 00:15:05 you have to reallocate some of it to the defensive line. So they need to make that kind of adjustment there. And unfortunately, I think Nick Cross will become a casualty of that unless again, Spotrack hasn't projected to make, or Spotrack or ESPN or whatever it was, hasn't projected to make like $6 million per year. If it's that, sure, sure. But if it, I think it's going to be more than that. I think it'll get over like 10. And then I think it's a little too much for the cold. So yeah, I think that they not only need the one safety to kind of replace him in the starting lineup, but I think they could also use a second safety as well. I mean, as of right now, you have

Starting point is 00:15:39 the listed guys on here. Hunter Woller, Daniel Scott, Rubin Lowry, and Trey Washington, Washington. Waller and Scott have been injured more than they've been healthy in their times in the NFL at this point. Lowry has been inactive more than he's been active in his time in the NFL at this point. And Trey Washington has spent more time on the practice squad than on the regular roster in the NFL. So I think that it leaves a lot to be desired the rest of that safety room.

Starting point is 00:16:04 I think ideally I would like to have, like even in the most optimistic worldview where we're putting Hunter Waller as like this box safety, third down. like third safety type guy you can play in the middle and be like a sub linebacker type player you still need an over-the-top safety to replace rodney thomas and nick cross in that role but ideally i think i'd want to grab like two guys before that like whether one is like a low-end free agent and the other one is a draft player i think they need multiple safeties to this room because honestly outside of bind them i don't think any of these guys are a given i want wooler to be good but coming off of a pretty brutal injury that ended his first year and he was a seventh round pick for a reason.

Starting point is 00:16:46 I'm not going to have my hope super high for him, but I think Bynum's really the only got you can count on in that safety room right now. Yeah, even if they bring crossback, it's still a little bit of a need because, again, free safeties play a lot in the system. Rodney Thomas was a guy that got plenty of run and he could certainly be upgraded over. And then we mentioned Hunter Woller, like if he plays a bit this year, great, but he didn't even make it into his rookie year last year because of the Liz Frank issue. So you need more. The free agent market is a little more forgiving and a little more appealing than the receiver one was for

Starting point is 00:17:23 sure. A lot of safeties, a lot of startable safeties are not very expensive at all. And I don't think you need a star. You just need someone who's not necessarily a liability and they could take advantage of opportunities when they're given like the ball comes to you intercept it. Can you make a tackle in the open field. Like my standards for the strong safety are not. So you look at some guys out here, read Blankenship from the Eagles. Now, I, this is, the APY as I'm collecting, it's a bit of a blend of like Spotrack, ESPN, PFF, just to kind of come up with what might be the most realistic.

Starting point is 00:18:00 It looks like about $7 million per year for Blankenship. Your boy, Dane Belt and Zach, about $6 million. And then a few other guys we've mentioned. on the show before. Anywhere from four to six-ish million here, Eloy Gilman, Andres, and Andrew Wingard from the Jaguars. Those are some guys that you could start them.

Starting point is 00:18:21 They won't make a big dent, really, at all in your salary cap. And you don't really have to worry about what's going on back there next to Gambine him. Yeah, no, I completely agree. I think a guy like a, like Gilman or Cisco, make a lot of sense. And then you pair that with a draft pick. And it doesn't even have to be one of the high-end,

Starting point is 00:18:39 draft picks. Like you have the Toledo safety on here, Emmanuel and McNeill Warren. He might go in round one though. Like his stock is crazy high at this. Tanneman too. Yeah, Tanneman as well. Like he might go round one or like early round two. So those are very good players. This doesn't have to be someone at that degree, but a Genesis Smith or a Bud Clark or VJ Payne you have on here. There's another safety over at Penn State that I don't even dare try his name right now without learning. Is a key Wheatley? Is that what it is? Okay. It's a key Wheatley. I was like, I don't know if there's a different way to pronounce it and mess it up, but, like, any of those type of guys in, like, the round four-ish range paired with, like, a bi-low-free agent, like Gilman or Wingard

Starting point is 00:19:20 or something, I think that's the route I would take. I do like Belton as well, but I think around six is a bit much for me, but, you know, if he were in that same tier with, like, a Gilman, I think I would go that route, plus, like, a round four safety, I think makes a ton of sense with this team. Yeah. So AJ Halsey is another one from LSU. Big dude, you could put him in the box there. I believe he's like 6-1-2-20-ish or something like big guy.

Starting point is 00:19:48 I think a lot of people like him wouldn't be shocked if he winds up going top 50-ish or so. So that's probably a guy that Colts might have to pull the trigger on with their first or their second round pick. But this, I don't, I don't dislike this safety. by any means this year in the draft. Like a lot of years, I, you know, get kind of icked about it. But this is a really good year for safeties, especially if you need two of them. We've seen the Colts double and triple dip on positions before, whether it's O-line

Starting point is 00:20:20 corner, which they keep striking out when they draft a million corners, it seems. But if they grabbed a couple safeties out of here, I would not hate that. It would be very cheap, even if it is one of the bigger guys that you have to take in round to like McNeil Warner, Tannerman, or even Halsey. You get that guy and then you get like a BJ Payne later on like round four or so. Like you've got a good safety position group and it's cheap. And then that doesn't even include what a guy like Wooler might be able to offer you. There's got to be a reason they picked up.

Starting point is 00:20:56 Ruben Lowry. Ruben Lowry off waivers and then never did anything with him. You know what I mean? They never waived him again and put him back. out there trying to get him on the practice squad. So we never saw him, but there must be something redeeming about him. That's the kind of scouting report I've ever heard. I can't tell anything about him because I don't know. Yeah, maybe he's just a great guy to have in the locker room. But coming up, guys, we have another potential position to replace. And that is former first round pick,

Starting point is 00:21:22 Quitty Pay, hitting the open market. We don't expect the Colts to bring him back. So how do the Colts replace this need at edge rusher? That's not only really filling the void that Quitty Pay leaves behind, but also every other edge rusher in this room, potentially leaving in free agency. The winter games are officially here. And if you're anything like us, you are locking in for the events that you only get to see on the biggest world stage every four years. And that's why following the winter games on Fendell just makes sense. From metal counts to individual events, to finding your angle on the sports that you care about the most, Fandle gives you more ways to stay connected to the action. Just take at the drama of curling matches that starts,

Starting point is 00:22:04 slow and somehow get super intense, really fast. Speed skating races decided by inches. There was a figure skating upset that blew everyone's minds recently. Hockey games that feel different right from the opening face off. Bandwool keeps the entire Olympic experience engaging from start to finish. The winter games are on and there's no better way to follow them than with Bandw. Bandwil. Play your game. All right.

Starting point is 00:22:32 Welcome back every dayers. We are bidding adieu to some. Colt stars here, some long-established players where it seems more likely than not that they might be walking, whether it's in free agency or their contract situation just isn't realistic. So we've talked about Michael Pittman Jr. We've talked about Nick Cross. Now let's talk about Quitty Pay. This is one, I feel bad hammering this one, Zach, because pay is a great guy, but like you look at the numbers this year. It's the most games he's played. It's the most snaps he's played. it's his worst numbers pretty much across the board though since his rookie year some of them

Starting point is 00:23:11 even worse you look at his pro football focus grade it is his worst of his whole career 59 the Colts had picked up his fifth year option too so this was his last opportunity and it just like the just probably the the least productive season you can imagine in that you get one more shot at it for us to lock you into a multi-year deal opportunity. But like you mentioned, it's not just him. Even if they were bringing him back, they still would need edge rush help. So no quity pay in this scenario. You say by the Tycho and Lewis and Samson Ebikam.

Starting point is 00:23:49 And then suddenly you're just looking at Lyotu Latu, JTu and Malau. And for because it's us, Dorel and Chami. Because it's you. Stop lumping me in with all of your stuff. You love Dorell and Chami. Face the facts. But no, I mean, realistically, it's lot to and to him a low-out. I don't think it Trammy really factors in, although he did get a few call-ups this year because they absolutely needed warm bodies.

Starting point is 00:24:15 But, yeah, even if you were bringing payback, you would need like three more dudes to bring into this room. And this is one where we are not going to be subtle about the price. If you want to spend big as a group on Edge Help on one guy and then some cheaper guys, sure. but like you need to throw dollars at the edge room. So obviously, Trey Hendrickson is a guy we've talked a bit about. For us, we're cool that for the right price.

Starting point is 00:24:42 He's not the young and fast option they've been talking about, but try and tell me that Trey Hendrickson doesn't improve the room significantly. He does. You're looking at, I don't know, between the numbers I've seen, 21 to 25 million per year. He signed a one-year rework deal for 29 million Cincinnati to play this year

Starting point is 00:25:01 for like half the year because he wound up having core muscle surgery, I think, that ended his season. He lasted until like late October, I think, seven games, I believe. But, you know, as long as he's healthy, the Colts just, the Colts have his defensive coordinator from Cincinnati. They have his D-Line coach from Cincinnati. It makes sense if the Colts want to pull that trigger. It does make sense.

Starting point is 00:25:26 My only fear is I, now because of the Mooney Ward situation, I'm terrified. to think of just like, oh, he wasn't healthy this past season, but don't worry, coming to Indianapolis, he'll be healthy now. And then spending all that money on him. But, yeah, as a player, a very good football player, obviously one of the most productive, inefficient stack producers of the last, you know, four to five years in the NFL since he got to Cincinnati under Lou Anuramo. He's been a consistent force.

Starting point is 00:25:53 So, yeah, he's a very good player. He's going to have a lot of suitors. And ultimately, to pick the Colts, I think it would come down to. taking a smaller term deal, like one to two years with the Colts, over probably getting three to four years with a very desperate, like, Raiders team or something like that that has a billion dollars to offer. And he values playing under Lou again rather than going to Vegas and partying it up with his $400 billion that could offer him.

Starting point is 00:26:21 But I think it could happen for sure. There's obviously that connection and that does play a part when it comes to free agency. I'm more so looking at, like, again, I know we've said, this for a lot of the segments, but I guess more so with edge because you need more, more bodies here, but just looking and adding, like, many capable guys rather than just one, you know, like I like Tray Henderson, but Arnold Epiquiti, Malcolm Coons, Joseph Osai, like if you can just add multiple players that I think that can give you a waves of pass rush or at least something different in waves as a pass rush, I think that could be more beneficial

Starting point is 00:26:56 for a Colts team that wants to be aggressive. They want to blitz. They want to play man coverage. I think just having a waves of past rushers that you can keep fresh makes a lot of sense for this Colts team. So I'm, I mean, we've said it a lot recently. I'm a big fan of going out and getting an Ebikidi or Coons, like those more athletic speed rushers for around, you know, seven, eight, nine, $10 million per year contract. I think one or two of those guys make a lot of sense for the Colts. Yeah, you have to every avenue you have other than you probably don't need to trade for anyone, but obviously free agency and the draft, go ahead and do it. We just talked about double dipping at position groups in the draft.

Starting point is 00:27:35 Please do it at edge. Looking at some guys who might be available to them at 47, if that's where they wind up picking in the second round. Akeem Mesidor from Miami, the other Miami pass rusher. He may not still be available there, but, you know, the age and not having, like, elite measurables could make him available. So Akeem Mesidor, our Mason Thomas from U.S. Oklahoma, who reminds a lot of people about another former Oklahoma edge defender, Nick Bonito,

Starting point is 00:28:03 who turned out pretty okay for the Broncos. Zion Young from Missouri, we've talked about, Gabe Accus from Illinois, had a good week down in the Senior Bowl, and then Derek Moore from Michigan. Those are guys you can see pop up as options for the Colts in round two, round three. The Colts could draft them, and I wouldn't feel like they would necessarily have the Chris Ballard kiss of death as being Chris Ballard, edge rush draft picks because I can, I feel confident saying those guys have good prospects in the NFL. You know, I have to say this every time Akim Messador is talked about though, but he is older than some other player that we've talked about on this episode. He's older than Nick Cross. That is crazy to me. 25 year old draft prospect,

Starting point is 00:28:51 Nick Cross 24 years old hitting free agency. But Akeem Messador, very, very great player on film. I just get so scared with older players like that. Like how good were they in college because they were 25 playing against 19-year-olds or because they're actually good players? You know, like it's the same thing with like a Ramello height in what Texas Tech as well. I think he's 25 as well. So that's another edge rusher in this class who it's a good player could fit the Colts. Older than Nick Cross though.

Starting point is 00:29:19 It's just insane how young Nick Cross was coming out of college and how old some of these edge rushers are. but yeah, good news. It does look like this is a pretty, like, deep edge class in terms of just a lot of productive type of players. And while it would be awesome to find the next Miles Garrett somehow in round three or four, right? I think you can find, like, quality players that can work in a rotation. So if you go get a Hendrickson or you even aim lower and get an Evakiti

Starting point is 00:29:45 or a boy, Mofé, right? And get that, like, true starter alongside Layatu Latu, and then you get guys who can just be athletic energizer bunnies off the bench. I think that can work just as well too. So, yeah, like I like guys like Derek Moore or Zion Young as potential like athletic rushers to come off behind these free agent additions. But it needs to be multiple steps with Edge because they just have nobody in the room right now. Like we mentioned, it's Laotu, Latu, JT2Molo, Derella and Chami.

Starting point is 00:30:13 And then me and Jake, I think, are next up after that. So we're going to need. I don't know if we got the pen. did have the bin. But yeah, they're going to need some help for sure at edge rush of this offseason. Yeah, without question. So there are obviously other guys we have mentioned that there's plenty of reason they might be parted with from the Colts. But these were three that we felt were probably the most glaring when you look at contract situation and in free agency.

Starting point is 00:30:42 So actually, this is a good opportunity for us to let you guys know, obviously it's the offseason, draft season, and free agency. starting Monday, we're going to have a lot more content coming out to you. We're going to be adding in some shorter episodes. So you'll probably notice if you're in audio, you'll be noticing your feeds beefing up with locked on Colts content even more. We're going to make it specific stuff, though. So it's not just random coming at you. Zach and I as two guys who love the NFL draft.

Starting point is 00:31:14 Obviously, that's kind of how we fell in love with the NFL in general was through the draft. we're going to be spotlighting a lot of the draft prospects that we really, really like into these shorter kind of bite-sized episodes. So you'll see regular episodes coming out normally as we do, and then shoot the squad show as well. And then as well as these little draft ones, we'll fill some in with free agent prospects as well, just to kind of keep it fresh and keep new stuff coming.

Starting point is 00:31:42 So if you notice a lot more coming through your feeds, that is intentional and we hope you like it. Yeah, and thank you guys, as always, for tuning in to Locked on Colts.
