The Colts will still have plenty of cap space to work with. Prior to signing Castonzo, the Colts had about $81MM in cap space.

Jim Irsay said he was the best and put his $$$ into it.

Castonzo said he and the rest and the Oline are "pumped" to get the gang back together next year.

"I'd be remiss if I didn't say the opportunity to play next to Quenton Nelson wasn't one of the reasons I wanted to come back and keep playing."

Castonzo got better once he didn’t have to worry about his inside gap collapsing every other play.

No, he was always good and the Colts could always run left who ever was on his right

I remember when fans on this board were divided on who the Colts should draft, Castonzo or Carimi. Thankfully, the Colts made the right choice. Damn glad he's coming back.

I meant pass protection. He got better as he got older. He was pretty good for awhile. I’ll say in the 10-15 range of tackles. I think he jumped into the top ten with Q next to him.
