Mock looks at Indy’s situation next year
If Foster and Johnson are retained, the Colts will only need to look for another run stuffer through the draft or free agency. If Muir is retained that need drops enough to allow the team to look only to the later rounds for a potential project player — or for an unproven second-year free agent.
One free agent the team should take a close look at is Brandon Mebane, who will be entering free agency as his rookie contract is expiring in Seattle. Mebane is not only capable of stopping the run, he also is strong enough to get to the quarterback. As Mebane is not a big enough name in the NFL to demand a cap debilitating contract, there is a chance the team could pick him up and bolster the defensive line significantly for 2011. Such a move would likely only occur if Muir is not retained.
