A look at where the Colts stand
* Gary Brackett, MLB, Unrestricted Free Agent. Polian said late last week that Brackett is the first off-season priority, with one of the reasons being his status is already known. No matter what happens with the CBA, Brackett will become a free agent on March 5 unless he and the team reach an agreement before then. Because Brackett is a team leader and a better player than some observers sometimes give him credit for, Polian said the Colts don’t want to see that happen and will do whatever is possible within reason to re-sign him. Look for this to get done unless Brackett is wanting big-, big-time money. That could be the case, but Brackett may be smart to consider slightly less than what he perceives to be market value to stay with the Colts. He is a perfect fit for the Colts’ system and the team knows precisely what he brings. Whatever contract he signs, he likely would have a good chance to play out the deal, something that doesn’t always happen when a player signs with a new team.
