Free agent ILB Pat Angerer is recovering from microfracture surgery, and "still a few months away" from conducting workouts.
Angerer claims he received interest from "several teams" earlier this offseason, but wants to hold off on free-agent visits until he's 100 percent healthy. Angerer was oft-injured during his four years in Indianapolis, dealing with multiple knee and foot issues. Angerer played 501 largely-ineffective snaps last season before landing on injured reserve in December.
The Colts are not trying to re-sign free agent ILB Pat Angerer.
The Colts are looking elsewhere to fill the hole next to Jerrell Freeman. In-house options include Josh McNary and Kelvin Sheppard, and they're also in the mix for free agent D'Qwell Jackson. Angerer was a tackle machine when healthy for the Colts, but knee and foot injuries have crippled the 2010 second-round pick.
The Indy Star says the odds favor the Colts moving on from free agent ILB Pat Angerer.
Even though the Colts have a hole next to Jerrell Freeman at inside linebacker, they don't appear to believe Angerer is the answer. The 2010 second-round pick has missed 10 games over the last two seasons and Josh McNary/Kelvin Sheppard have been just as effective. Angerer's market will be cool.

The Colts have signed veteran RB Shaun Draughn to replace Angerer on the active roster.
