Add linebacker Freddie Keiaho to the list of Indianapolis Colts’ free agents. Keiaho was not offered a tender by the team on Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent along with seven other Colts: DB Matt Giordano, LB Tyjuan Hagler, DB Keiwan Ratliff, DE Darrell Reid, RB Dominic Rhodes, P Hunter Smith and DE Josh Thomas.
The Colts are feeling the salary-cap pinch this offseason, forced to make decisions on several longtime veterans. The Colts officially released WR Marvin Harrison this week and also watched as Smith and Rhodes decided to test the free-agent market. The team was able to sign C Jeff Saturday to a three-year deal late Thursday before he hit the open market.
Keiaho started all 14 of his games last season, and 25 of 39 career games over three seasons with the Colts.
