Five veteran free agent right guards for Colts to still consider this offseason

The Colts are still evaluating all viable options through free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft at starting right guard.

The Indianapolis Colts still have an opening at starting right guard, and the team’s top brass is still evaluating all potential options this offseason:

“We’re working through that right now, (Chris Ballard) and his staff, just looking at what’s out there, obviously, through free agency, possibly the draft,” head coach Shane Steichen recently said at the NFL annual league meeting last week.

While the upcoming NFL Draft is still a few weeks away, there are a few notable veteran free agent guards still available on the market:
