Indianapolis Colts — Ryan Kelly
Base Salary: $9,125,000
A once-heralded group, the Indianapolis Colts offensive line was disastrous in ’22. Not only did the Colts regularly wilt under pressure in pass protection, Indy’s maulers upfront couldn’t even provide consistent push in the run game. This was a group that was previously considered the core strength of the Colts as a whole. Now, the team is paying a lopsided amount to its declining offensive line. That includes starting center Ryan Kelly, who graded out unfavorably last season — 16th among 36 eligible centers per Pro Football Focus. Only seven centers in the entire league make more than $6 million per year. Kelly’s current deal has him around a whopping $12.5 million per season (four-year/$50 million). It’s fair to expect a little bit more out of Kelly in that case.
