The Indianapolis Colts are one of the teams expected to make some noise in free agency this year. General manager Ryan Grigson has to address a couple of needs during the offseason, in particular he has to find a wide receiver and a running back to keep up with the established rhythm on offense.
There are a few attracting names when it comes to free agent running backs but today I’m focusing on the wide receivers since the Colts are reportedly in the hunt for an experienced no. 2 wideout to play opposite of T.Y. Hilton while sophomore Donte Moncrief continues his developement. Even if Reggie Wayne decides to play one more year in Indianapolis his age won’t allow him to serve as a true “Z” receiver and his production last year showed exactly that.
Here are three players that could fill that no. 2 spot at wide receiver for the Colts, starting with the short-term solution and finishing with a potential superstar that could be Andrew Luck’s new best friend.
