The Colts locked up a solid depth piece at a bargain rate, making Jack Wilson's two-year, $1.8M deal a clear steal in today's inflated tackle market. At just $0.9M annually, Wilson provides quality swing tackle insurance at roughly one-third the cost of what replacement-level offensive linemen typically command in free agency. His C+ CVI reflects strong value creation — while he may not project as a long-term starter, Wilson has shown enough competency to serve as a reliable backup who can step in without cratering the protection unit. The short-term commitment gives Indianapolis maximum flexibility while Wilson continues developing, and at this price point, there's virtually zero downside risk even if he plateaus as a pure reserve. This represents exactly the type of shrewd roster-building move that allows teams to allocate premium dollars elsewhere while maintaining adequate depth along the offensive line.
Performance grades for OTs are not available. ESPN does not track individual statistics for offensive linemen, punters, long snappers, or fullbacks. This player will remain ungraded unless they change positions.
A quiet but notable roster cut, releasing a fourth-round pick before he could develop. Multiple outlets covered the move, grouping Wilson among four players cut simultaneously. The key signal is a waive-injured designation, suggesting Wilson couldn't stay healthy enough to compete. Fans are frustrated seeing a recent draft investment discarded without a real chance to contribute. The Colts will likely address offensive tackle depth through the waiver wire or internal options.
