The Indianapolis Colts can punch their ticket to the playoffs with a win over the Tennessee Titans this weekend, but it's no secret that the team could use some work as a whole. That's why Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski predicts the team will sign Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford and Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams this offseason.
The Colts will have $122.5 million in cap space to spend, so they can certainly afford to land a couple of big-name free agents.
Ford is certainly someone who can help Indianapolis' shaky passing defense, as it ranks just 17th in the league in that category this year and has tallied a mediocre 38 sacks on the season.
The 27-year-old has been one of the best pass rushers in the NFL in 2018, totaling 12 sacks while also registering 52 tackles and a league-leading six forced fumbles en route to his first Pro Bowl selection.
This marks the second time in Ford's career that he has recorded double-digit sacks, as he tallied 10 sacks in 2016.
The Colts' offense is pretty good as it is, but why not provide Andrew Luck with another target with which to throw the football?
Williams is in his fourth season with the Los Angeles Chargers. This year, he has hauled in 39 receptions for 630 yards and five touchdowns. While those numbers don't jump off the page, Williams' 6-foot-4 frame makes him a big target, which could help Indy's red zone offense.
Williams also has a 1,000-yard campaign under his belt, racking up 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns in his second year in the NFL back in 2016.
