Mike Chappell of FOX 59, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, reports that the Colts “have a level of interest” in free agent DT Gerald McCoy.
According to Chappell, the Colts either have had or will have internal discussions about whether to actively pursue signing him to a contract.
Chappell says that it’s possible McCoy‘s asking price could be a sticking point for the Colts. However, Indianapolis has the most available cap space in the NFL right now and could afford to sign him.
The Browns have reportedly inquired about McCoy and the Patriots, Cowboys, Jaguars and Chargers have also mentioned as teams to keep an eye on for him.
McCoy, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2010. He was in the fifth year of his seven-year, $95.2 million contract and set to make a base salary of $13 million in 2019 when the Buccaneers released him.
In 2018, McCoy appeared in 14 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 28 tackles, six sacks, and a pass defense. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 28 interior defender out of 112 qualifying players.
We have him featured in our Top 50 Available Free Agents list.
