LOCKED ON COLTS 3/16/20: Colts open free agency trading No. 13 pick for DeForest Buckner, Philip Rivers rumors intensify

Will T.Y. Hilton Return to the Colts at a Discounted Price?: On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed returns to go over Day 2 of NFL free agency. Once again, the Colts remained quiet outside of restricted tags given out to Zach Pascal, Mo Alie-Cox, and George Odum. Outside of that, the wide receiver market is the biggest storyline thus far. With everything moving slow, and cheaper, than expected, what does this mean for T.Y. Hilton? Marvin Jones and Emmanuel Sanders, two players in Hilton's expected tier, both signed for less than $8 million per year. Will Hilton now fall in the range, too? Evan and Stephen believe so, with a projected contract around 2-years, $15 million being the sweet spot. After Tennessee made big moves with Bud Dupree and former Colt Denico Autry, Jacksonville stepped up on Tuesday signing some names of their own. Will Jacksonville push Indy at all in the AFC South race? Closing out the show, we go over Jacoby Brissett signing with the Miami Dolphins.

Crossover Special with Locked On Bears: On today's episode, Lorin Cox of Locked On Bears joins for our latest crossover special previewing Sunday's matchup between Indianapolis and Chicago. Who will come out on top in this key game for both sides? First off in Chicago, why did the Bears make their change at QB from Mitch Trubisky to Nick Foles? With the Trubisky era officially over, how will Foles look in Matt Nagy's offense? Tarik Cohen is out, so now David Montgomery will take on a bigger role in their offense as well. Former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is the Bears' defensive coordinator. Why has their defense taken a step back under his control after Vic Fangio left for Denver? In Indy, a lot has gone right for them after a disappointing opener. From the dominant defense to Mo Alie-Cox and Philip Rivers establishing a legit passing connection, are these sustainable long-term outcomes?

Colts 2021 NFL Draft Preview with The Draft Network's Jordan Reid: On today's episode, Evan is joined by The Draft Network's Jordan Reid to do a quick preview of the 2021 NFL Draft class before free agency officially kicks off next week.

Starting off the show, Evan and Jordan go over possible Anthony Castonzo replacements in the first-round range. Sam Cosmi, Tevin Jenkins, and Liam Eichenberg go under the microscope. Also, could Christian Darrisaw somehow slip to Indy? The EDGE class isn't as robust, but there's plenty of intrigue. We go over all of the following names who could be selected by Indy: Kwity Paye, Jalen Phillips, Gregory Rousseau, Jayson Oweh, and Azeez Ojulari. How about adding weapons for Colts QB Carson Wentz?

Philip Rivers silences critics in 31-27 comeback victory over Bengals: On today's episode, Evan is joined by Anthony Smith of Coast To Scouting to discuss the Colts' 31-27 win over the Bengals. After trailing 21-0, Indy went on a 31-6 run to close this one out. What were the key ingredients to pulling it off? First, Philip Rivers played like a star quarterback. Especially in the second quarter when Indy scored 21 points, he was absolutely on fire. Outside of Rivers, what else was working? Julian Blackmon looks like a blossoming star safety, while DeForest Buckner continues to wreck havoc. How will this defense look once Darius Leonard and Kemoko Turay return after the bye week? Closing out the show, what's the assessment of the 2020 Colts through six weeks? Sitting at 4-2, this November stretch will prove whether Indy is a contender or pretender.

What will the front office do with the QB position this offseason? Philip Rivers continues to be linked to Indy, so is this interest real or not? Rivers would be an upgrade, but that means Brissett would have to leave via trade. The draft continues to be a realistic option with options like Justin Herbert and Jordan Love at No. 13 overall.

What type of player are the Colts actually getting with Buckner? Analyzing the move for both sides, why did San Francisco decide to do this? Will they replace Buckner with Derrick Brown or Javon Kinlaw? Trading back is also on the table, too. Colts landing Buckner for No. 13 is their pseudo 1st-round pick now. How does Buckner fit in the Colts' zone-heavy scheme? As a penetrating 3-tech, Buckner should wreck havoc and free up players like Darius Leonard and Justin Houston even further. Also, Buckner the person fits the Colts' culture even more than the player. Indianapolis paid a hefty price for the star defensive tackle because he checks every box as a foundational building block.

Favorite Free Agency Fits for the Indianapolis Colts: On today's episode, Evan and Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed go over their favorite fits for the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. Who makes the cut? Not surprisingly, a couple of frequent names make an appearance, but also notice the trend. Pass rush and adding weapons for new quarterback Carson Wentz. Before we dive into all of this, though, we quickly go over more veteran cuts around the NFL. Who makes sense for Indy? After signing Xavier Rhodes and Justin Houston as former cuts, keep an eye on Indy doing this again for a third straight year. Evan believes stealing one or maybe two offensive weapons from division rival Tennessee makes so much sense. Jonnu Smith and Corey Davis are names to watch out for once the legal tampering period officially opens. Curtis Samuel is another underrated option if Indy decides to let T.Y. Hilton walk in free agency. Pass rush is crucial for Indy to take the next step in 2021. Who makes sense for th by Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts

Colts Remain Quiet on Day 1 of Free Agency: On today's episode, Evan Sidery is joined by Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed to recap the first day of 2021 NFL free agency. Not surprisingly, the Colts stayed quiet. However, the movement outside of Indy was robust. First up, a former Colt is now off the open market. Denico Autry signed a 3-year, $21.5 million deal with division rival Tennessee. How will Autry signing with the Titans impact Indianapolis? Is Tyquan Lewis about to break out in Year 4 in Autry's role next to DeForest Buckner? New England was the big spender on Monday. The Patriots were spending all of their salary cap space on Jonnu Smith, Matthew Judon, and Nelson Agholor. Will New England make a push in the AFC after these moves, or will they be the latest team to disappoint after splurging in free agency? EDGE rushers are all gone for Indianapolis.

Is the Colts' defense for real?: On today's episode, Evan is joined by Stephen Reed from Stampede Blue to go over the Colts' win in Chicago and look ahead to Cleveland. Also, stay tuned for a lot of talks surrounding Indy's No. 1 ranked defense. Is the Colts' defense for real? It sure seems that way over the last three weeks, but now this is the portion of the schedule we will truly find out. DeForest Buckner and Justin Houston have been huge keys to their early success, but don't forget about rookie safety Julian Blackmon. These three with Darius Leonard form a fearsome foursome that could rock the AFC in 2020. How has Philip Rivers been through the quarter poll of the 2020-21 season? The efficiency is there, but the points on the scoreboard have dipped a little bit. What should we expect moving forward from Rivers? We close on the Browns game. What will happen in Cleveland?

From a tough loss in Houston to Eric Ebron's season-ending ankle injuries, we run through it all with our analysis. First up, this offense is letting down one of the most improved defenses in the NFL. Could the Colts have a top 5-10 defense in 2020? There's only a few missing pieces in our opinion. Moving on to more discussion of the offense, what exactly has gone wrong? Unfortunately, a lot has to do with the QB spot. Brissett missed multiple easy reads vs. Houston, which resulted in an anemic passing attack. With that being said, is it time to critically evaluate him? Absolutely. Colts GM Chris Ballard flew out to Logan, Utah on Saturday to watch 2020 QB draft prospect Jordan Love. Ballard has long been connected to Love, so this is very important.

Xavier Rhodes had a career resurgence in 2020, but will that continue elsewhere? Rhodes proved he can still be a top-caliber cornerback in the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers Load Up Defense with Myles Jack, Shot at Tyrann Mathieu, Georgia Pro Day Stars: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers Podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Myles Jack in free agency to address their linebacker position next to Devin Bush, but also to maybe be the answer to their linebacker problems if Bush doesn't work out. It's clear Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin are aiming to build an elite defense, and that with Jack's contract details, they're not done adding to the defense. The Steelers also cut Joe Schobert and Zach Banner, opening up salary cap space for potentially another big signing. Rumors are still floating the safety Tyrann Mathieu is in the mix and Cam Heyward is pushing to turn that into a reality.
