CelebNSports247.com has learned that NFL.com’s Elliot Harrison looked at several of the top free agents this year, but only two are standing out.

New England Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower is a good linebacker who showed skills as both a pass rusher and run defender. Over the past 5 years, Hightower recorded 372 tackles, 17 sacks, 12 passes defensed, and two forced fumbles while playing in 67 games and starting 64. If he goes to the Indianapolis, he’d be bumped up to inside linebacker, he would also be a versatile option for them as he could help in multiple areas.

Bottom line, Hightower would certainly help the Indianapolis Colts.

As for, Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett had a good 2016 season with the Patriots. Bennett caught 55 passes for 701 yards and seven scores, and he’s had a productive NFL career. However, the Indianapolis Colts are going to make a significant free agent signing at the tight end position. Martellus Bennett has a chance with the Indianapolis, but the team might stick with Jack Doyle

No matter what, The Colts are making moves in free agency this off-season.
