INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (4-12)

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: RB Frank Gore; S Darius Butler; WRs Donte Moncrief and Kamar Aiken; LBs Barkevious Mingo and Jon Bostic; QB Scott Tolzien; OLs Jack Mewhort and Michael Person; CBs Pierre Desir and Rashaan Melvin; TE Brandon Williams.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: None.

NEEDS: With so many holes to fill http://www.bengalscheapstore.com/germaine-pratt-jersey-cheap , Colts could go anywhere in free agency. Their top need is pass rusher but they may have better luck finding option in draft. Instead, Indy will likely look for complementary rusher and starting cornerback, and attempt to upgrade offensive line, find No. 2 receiver and maybe even veteran running back to replace Gore. If they lose Melvin, they could be in market for two cornerbacks.

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $66 million.

It is almost laughable looking back on some of the head scratching moves NFL teams have made in free agency over the last decade. Their free agency mistakes have lead to disappointing seasons Ryan Finley Jersey , head coaches getting fired, and teams going through rebuilds. Overpaying a player in free agency is a common occurrence for bottom feeding teams and even the best teams swing and miss every once in awhile. This year's free agency was once again filled with big name free agents getting overpaid by franchises. It would not be surprising if some of the teams that spent big on quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins or Case Keenum end up on a list similar to this one five years from now.In hindsight it is hard to see what general managers were thinking on all of the moves that make this list. A bad free agent signing can haunt a team for years after the move, especially if the player came in with high expectations and signed a huge contract. In a hard capped league, wasting a good portion of the team's available cap space on a player that is not producing can be fatal to a team’s performance on the field. This list proves that, by putting together the free agent signings that were so bad http://www.bengalscheapstore.com/renell-wren-jersey-cheap , they could be considered not just the worst signing since 2010, but the franchise's worst signing ever. In alphabetical order these are the worst mistakes each team has made in free agency this past decade.
