Colts post-free agency position review: Evaluating the special teams unit

With NFL free agency at a near standstill, we will be evaluating the current state of each Indianapolis Colts' position group, specifically, where things stand and whether or not more moves need to be made. GM Chris Ballard has now made nine outside free agent signings over the last week-plus, along with re-signing a number of the Colts ' own free agents. However, there is still work to be done, as the Colts still have several roster holes to address.

The good news is that the Colts have a good amount of salary cap space to work with. In the draft, the Colts are without a first-round pick and have a modest seven selections in total. Rounding out our review is the special teams unit.

What is the need on special teams for the Colts after free agency?

There is no need here. Grupe and Spencer Shrader will be competing for the Colts' kicking job, but no other additions have to be made to this unit. One thing to watch is that Rigoberto Sanchez is in the final year of his deal and is a candidate to receive a contract extension prior to next offseason's free agency period beginning.
