Castonzo mulled over the possibility of retiring this offseason before informing the Colts of his decision to return for the 2020 season.
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 was 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 had him included in our Top 100 – 2020 Free Agents list.
