Eric Fisher is unlikely to re-sign with the Colts, according to sources who spoke with Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link). The two sides have been working to hammer out a new contract, but all indications are that the left tackle will be heading elsewhere when free agency opens next week. 
Fisher earned Pro Bowl nods with the Chiefs in 2018 and 2020. In the latter season, he suffered a torn Achilles in the AFC Championship Game, keeping him out of the Super Bowl. His presence was clearly missed – the Chiefs’ disastrous blocking effort opened the door for the Buccaneers’ victory.
Before that Fisher was mostly healthy and started every game at left tackle for Kansas City from 2014-2018. The Colts, banking on his recovery, inked Fisher to a one-year, $9.4MM deal last spring. Fisher went on to play in 15 games for Indy, but he didn’t look much like his old self.
“He was coming off the Achilles (and) I thought he had a seven-game stretch where he played really good,” GM Chris Ballard said recently (via 107.5 The Fan). “And then he had a pec and a knee (injury) at the end of the year. He tried to fight through it, and it affected him some.”
Ultimately, it sounds like Fisher’s asking price didn’t line up with what the Colts had in mind. With that, they’ll look elsewhere for left tackle help and, perhaps, solidify the position for the long-term.
Wouldn’t mind him in Chicago. Can bring veteran leadership to the o line, either Borom/Jenkins goes to RT the other goes to LG. Our GM Poles was with him in KC and Eberflus was with him in Indy.
I hope Poles signs a couple OL that were released in the past couple of days. Can’t be any worse than what we got.
40M means they’ve got to make some decisions. Pryor played 438 snaps and graded out well and his “market value” is 4-6M so…maybe that and adding a guy like Allen Robinson makes more sense rather than paying Eric fisher 15M or more per season.
Obvious fit with the Bears
Playing LT for the Raiders would be a fit issue, but we should be in on anyone that can man the O-line.
One of the best left tackles in football. Five years now he’s absolutely dominated the side and I have no doubt the number of teams going after him with be near the double digits.
