3. B.J. Raji, Defensive Tackle

B.J. Raji is another name to keep an eye on when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. He would be a very nice addition on the defensive line to help stop the run after seeing LeGarrette Blount run all over them in the AFC Championship game.

Cory Redding is about to hit the free agency market himself, and the Colts may not be able to afford to bring him back. Raji on the other hand is coming off of a season full of injury, and he is going to be a very cheap free agent. He has had his flashes of brilliance with the Green Bay Packers, and perhaps heading to Indianapolis would be what he needs to get himself back on track.

Throughout his five seasons that he has been on the field, he has made a difference. He has racked up 90 tackles and 10.5 sacks. Those numbers may not look all that impressive, but they were certainly important for the Packers against the run.

Simply having a 337-pound defensive tackle on the line would be a lot of help, and Raji does have Super Bowl winning experience. He would be a very cheap signing, but might end up being a bargain deal.
