Colts GM Chris Ballard revealed that LT Anthony Castonzo has informed the team he plans to play in 2020. The two sides are working on an extension now, per Joel Erickson.
Colts owner Jim Irsay said on Sunday he thought there was a “strong likelihood” Indianapolis would be able to keep Castonzo, who had been mulling retirement.
Now it looks like the veteran lineman is ready to continue playing, potentially for a lot longer.
Castonzo, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Colts back in 2011. He played out the final year of his four-year rookie contract when the Colts signed him to a five-year, $49.438 million contract that included $18 million guaranteed back in 2015.
Castonzo is in line to be one of the best offensive tackles available in this year’s free agent market.
In 2019, Castonzo appeared in all 16 games, starting all of them at left tackle. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 7 offensive tackle out of 81 qualifying players.
We have him included in our Top 100 – 2020 Free Agents list.
