Here are the moves the Indianapolis Colts should consider when free agency opens at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Priority No. 1, sign cornerback Janoris Jenkins: As will be the case with every free agent they pursue, the Colts might have to hope the opportunity to win outweighs the money because they have only about $25 million in salary-cap space. The Colts need a second cornerback to start opposite Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis. Jenkins fits that mold perfectly. He had 64 tackles, 15 passes defended and three interceptions last season for the Rams.

Priority No. 2, sign linebacker Courtney Upshaw: The Colts are short on bodies at outside linebacker after they released Jonathan Newsome recently and former first-round pick Bjoern Werner was a bust. Upshaw has never missed a game in his four-year career. He’s also familiar with new Colts defensive coordinator Ted Monachino, who was the linebackers coach in Baltimore.

Priority No. 3, sign center Alex Mack: As I wrote Wednesday, Mack, who voided the final three years of his contract with the Cleveland Browns, would stop the constant shuffling at center the Colts have gone through during quarterback Andrew Luck’s first four seasons. The Colts have started five players at center during Luck's four seasons, and indications point to their looking for a new starter at that position. Mack has made two Pro Bowls and has started every game he’s appeared in during his six-year career.

Priority No. 4, sign right tackle Mitchell Schwartz: The Colts are high on Denzelle Good, who started four games last season, but Schwartz is experienced and underrated, and has started every game of his four-year NFL career. The Colts can’t sit around and wait for Good to continue to develop; that approach with other offensive linemen hasn’t always panned out for the Colts. It helps that Colts offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski is familiar with Schwartz. Chudzinski was Cleveland’s head coach in 2013.
