It appears the Anthony Castonzo era in Indianapolis is coming to a close.

This offseason Castonzo nearly called it quits and hung up his cleats before returning to the Colts, but it was not without concern from the front office. They restructured the contract of Castonzo to add the rest of his guaranteed money to this year, making him expendable after this season should he decide to retire again or should the Colts decide to move on.

Offensive tackle will be near the top of the draft boards in Indianapolis, if not at the top, as Chaz Green has been a less than desirable fill in for Castonzo in his absence throughout this season after an MCL injury. Another team who could also be in the market for a quarterback as well, the Colts will move on an offensive tackle should they be out of reach of a future quarterback.

Darrisaw fits like a glove as the Colts will look to squeeze potentially the last year of Phillip Rivers’ career out of him in 2021. The only concern the Colts should have if they want Darrisaw is if he will be on the board or not by the time Indianapolis comes on the clock.
