Colts will have to franchise Freeney. He is overrated in the sense he was getting praise as the best defensive player in the league last year, but he is still a very good player who really changes opposing team's gameplans. He's just not Seymour level and never will be. His numbers were poor this year, but no way Mathis gets ~10 sacks/season without Freeney on the other side.

I'm not sure what will happen with Cato June. He was a pro-bowler last year, but wasn't good this year. He is really such a system guy and like most of the Colt defenders he will never find a situation as good as what he has in Indy. Usually the Colts refuse to pay anything for their LB (Washington, Petersen, Thornton) and instead just churn young guys. Unfortunately Gardner was a bust and needs to be replaced so letting June go would mean they need to find two LBs in the draft this year (or resign Morris and find one starter). I have a feeling someone will give June big money based on his pro-bowl credentials and the Colts will be unable to bring him back.
