AFC Notes: Colts, Jets, Patriots

Colts

• Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star writes that the coming changes to the Colts’ defensive scheme could lead to them strongly considering N.C. State DE Bradley Chubb at No. 3 overall.
• Holder expects Jabaal Sheard to move from outside linebacker to defensive end and John Simon to play 4-3 strongside linebacker.
• Sources have told Holder that the Colts have already formulated a plan to address their defensive personnel this offseason to fit the new scheme.

Jets

• While not surprising, Rich Cimini says that Jets WR Robby Anderson won’t get a long-term extension from the Jets “anytime soon, if ever.“
• Cimini writes that he would be surprised if Jets GM Mike Maccagnan went all-in to sign WR Jarvis Landry in free agency.
• Instead, Cimini believes Jaguars free agent Allen Robinson would be a better fit for the Jets, even though he’s coming off of an ACL tear.
• Interestingly enough, if the Jets are able to sign a No. 1 receiver this offseason, Cimini mentions that they would probably look to unload Jermaine Kerse.

Patriots

Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald takes a look at some moves the Patriots could make this offseason to pick up some cap room.

Some of the roster cuts suggested by Howe include:

• TE Martellus Bennett ($6.19 million)
• TE Dwayne Allen ($5 million)
• DT Alan Branch ($3.55 million)
• LB David Harris ($2.13 million)
• LB Shea McClellin ($2.35 million)
• RB Mike Gillislee ($2.18 million)
• WR Kenny Britt ($1.45 million)
