Since being released by the Cleveland Browns, veteran inside linebacker D’Qwell Jackson has received plenty of interest from around the league and it looks like his search for a new home could be nearing an end.

Because he was released early in the offseason, Jackson can sign with a team before the start of the NFL free agency period next week and the Indianapolis Colts are emerging as the most likely suitor.

From Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports:

Jackson has a great nose for the football and is a sound tackler, so he would be a great addition to the Colts defense.

In each of the past three seasons, Jackson has eclipsed 110 tackles.
