The Indianapolis Colts are having another impressive year which still isn't over as they enter the Divisional Round of the playoffs this week. However, they will face a tough offseason where several key players will be entering free agency. Here are five veterans who may not return to Indy in 2015.

At 34 years old, Redding is in the final year of his three-year contract with the Colts. It has been said that he is contemplating retirement after this season. He has had a long and impressive career in the NFL, and will be missed by this defensive unit, if in fact this is his final year.

Bradshaw played extremely well for the Colts this year. He provided great balance to Trent Richardson and became the featured back for most of the season. Unfortunately he suffered a broken leg back in November and was placed on IR. It would be risky re-signing him, especially after this injury. I anticipate him playing in a different uniform next year.

Safety Mike Adams will be a free agent this year along with several other Colts defensive backs including Darius Butler, Josh Gordy, Sergio Brown and Colt Anderson. At 33 years old, will the Colts decide to re-sign the veteran or begin to look elsewhere? They will need to address the DB situation in the offseason regardless of which direction they choose.

"Plug and play", "Next man up" and "The epitome of versatility on the offensive line"; these are all ways Joe Reitz has been described by the Indianapolis Colts organization. He has become a vital factor in this offense and someone Andrew Luck can always rely on, regardless of what side of the line he's playing. Reitz will be a free agent this year, and I don't think the Colts want to lose him.

This future Hall-of-Famer is one of the most beloved players, not only in the Colts family but in the NFL. His stats and records speak for themselves, and as most of us know, he will be a free agent this year. He has not hinted at any retirement plans, but at 36 years old, the end is definitely near. I know Colts fans would want him around for another year, so I guess they'll just have to wait and see.
