1. Indianapolis Colts

Andrew Luck has turned into one of the NFL’s most prolific quarterbacks in the game, but he has yet to have a legitimate threat on the ground behind him. Marshawn Lynch would turn the Indianapolis Colts’ offense into a juggernaut, and there wouldn’t be any gameplan that could hold them back. Indianapolis is a very young team, and Lynch would fit into that very well at 28 years of age.

If the Colts want to make a run at winning the Super Bowl in the next couple of years, they need to establish a legitimate rushing attack. Signing Lynch would do that in a heartbeat, and it might make the Colts the favorites in the AFC. Luck and Lynch would work very well alongside of each other, and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton would finally have a star running back that fits into his system assuming he doesn’t get hired away to a head coaching position.

Ryan Grigson has been known for being very aggressive in free agency and via trades, and this would be his biggest move yet. Lynch would love the type of system that the Colts run, and he would make life easier on everyone in the Colts’ offense. It would be a great move for Indianapolis to make a strong run at signing Lynch if he reaches free agency.
