Indianapolis Colts salary cap update before first preseason game
admin_news
With the Indianapolis Colts' first preseason game already on the horizon, let's take a step back and take a look at where Chris Ballard's team stands from a salary cap perspective at this time.
The Colts currently have $19.046 million in available cap space, according to Over the Cap. Compared to the rest of the NFL, this ranks as the 19th-most.
While all major spending when it comes to roster-building is well behind us, there will be a few additional salary cap expenses coming down the road for the Colts.
One of which is they'll need available space to assemble the practice squad, and they'll want to make sure they have in-season reserves available for any spending that might take place at that time. This could include making a trade, a free agent signing, or practice squad elevations on game days.
But every team potentially has those expenses--not just the Colts. Overall, they are positioned well salary cap-wise, and Ballard has the flexibility to continue tweaking the roster if needed. It's also not as if any free agent signing at this stage of the offseason will break the bank.
Colts' five largest salary cap hits in 2025
- DT DeForest Buckner: $26.60 million
- WR Michael Pittman: $23.00 million
- LG Quenton Nelson: $22.76 million
- RB Jonathan Taylor: $15.38 million
- QB Daniel Jones: $14.45 million
