With the 2025 NFL draft concluded, eyes are already shifting toward the Indianapolis Colts' unrestricted free agents set to hit the market in 2026. Key players include left tackle Bernhard Raimann, who has emerged as a top-tier lineman, and wide receiver Alec Pierce, who had a breakout 2024, totaling 824 yards and seven touchdowns. Their performances in 2025 will be pivotal for their future with the franchise.

Defensively, Kwity Paye continues to be a strong presence, and his future could be influenced by the team's recent draft picks. Braden Smith's revised contract for 2025 also positions him as a potential departure candidate if the season does not go as planned. The Colts' quarterback situation, particularly the development of Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones, will also heavily influence the team’s direction moving forward.
