In other words, the Colts are targeting SLB Jarret Johnson. A nine-year veteran, Johnson's production slipped during his age-30 season, but his versatility projects as an ideal addition for coach Chuck Pagano's defense.

Pitta, in particular, became an integral part of the game plan down the stretch, hauling in four touchdowns in the final eight games. Dickson, on the other hand, was targeted just 27 times in the final nine games after a hot start. We prefer Pitta to Dickson in Dynasty and keeper formats.

"The easy answer is I've moved on," said Williams, "but the one thing I've learned about myself is, 'Who the hell knows?'" It's hardly rare for a veteran coming off a playoff loss to lean toward retirement only to reverse course in July or August. Williams' retirement may be due in large part to a text from Bill Parcells reading, "Don't chase this thing too long. You can contribute in other ways."

"I work with good people. We have a blast," Newsome explained. "I don't know how much longer. I want Super Bowls. Steve (Bisciotti) and I talk about two Super Bowls and three Super Bowls. Once I get to that point, I'll start deciding." The Ravens have personnel director Eric DeCosta under contract as "GM in waiting."

The Ravens would have welcomed him back at age 35, and Profootballtalk reports "there's a feeling he could return later in the offseason." Williams' colorful career has been one given to whims, so it would hardly be a surprise if he reverses the decision down the road. A dichotomy in shoulder pads, Williams' bruising, take-no-prisoners running style was offset by a softer, soul-searching side rarely seen among high-profile NFL stars. If this is truly the end, Williams finishes with 10,009 rushing yards, 2,606 receiving yards, and 74 TDs. A first-team All Pro in 2002, Ricky is one of 26 backs in history to reach 10,000 yards.

He won't be an option to replace free agent SLB Jarret Johnson. Kindle made it onto the field for just two appearances in 2011 and did not register so much as a special teams tackle. He was a healthy scratch for both playoff games.

They'd prefer to re-sign fellow free agent Haruki Nakamura. Zbikowski was bounced out of the starting lineup by Bernard Pollard in 2011, and the fact that he missed multiple games with a concussion won't help his free agent stock. The Notre Dame alumnus has managed two career interceptions in 53 games.
