What will happen next? We should look at how the team can get a new star. There are two main ways to get a new player in the summer. The first way is called free agency. This is when a player does not have a team. He is free to join any team that gives him money. The second way is a trade. This is when the Colts give some of their players or future draft choices to another team, and that team gives them a star player in return.
Right now, the Colts have a lot of money saved up. In the NFL, this money is called cap space. The NFL has a strict rule. Every team has a limit on how much money they can pay their players. This limit is like a giant bucket of money. If your bucket is full, you cannot buy new players. But the Colts have a very big bucket with a lot of empty space inside. They have more than twenty million dollars that they can spend right now. This means they can buy almost any player they want.
So, who will they get? Many people who watch the games think the Colts will look for a defensive back. A defensive back is a player who runs very fast to stop the other team from catching the ball. The Colts have a lot of young players in this position, but young players sometimes make big mistakes. A veteran player, which means a player who has played for many years and knows all the tricks, would help them a lot.
Another option is to get a wide receiver. A wide receiver is a player who runs fast and catches the balls that the quarterback throws. If the Colts get a big, strong wide receiver, it will make Anthony Richardson's job much easier. He can just throw the ball high in the air, and the big star will catch it. The fans are very excited. They are waiting to see which star player will put on the blue and white Colts helmet this summer. We will likely see a decision before the players go to training camp in late July.
