The Indianapolis Colts have been a team in strong standing with the salary cap throughout Chris Ballard's tenure, which is a continued theme going into 2024.
With $25.93 million in salary-cap space as of this writing, the Colts rank 10th in the NFL. There's always a chance they add a veteran to the roster before training camp, but it's more likely they roll with what they have.
With quarterback Anthony Richardson still on his rookie deal, the Colts have been able to invest more heavily in other positions. They rank inside the top 10 in positional spending at running back, offensive line, defensive line and kicker.
We'll be using the figures from Spotrac to see where the Colts stack up in position spending (including dead cap):
