So what will his next contract be like? Will the Colts re-sign him?
Projection of the Mo Alie-Cox contract
According to Spotrac, Alie-Cox is projected to get a one-year deal in free agency worth $2.2 million.

In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Spotrac used Demetrius Harris, Geoff Swaim, and Pharaoh Brown as comparisons to determine what the Alie-Cox deal could be.
Will the Colts re-sign Mo Alie-Cox?
This is one of those free agency decisions that could go either way.
For one thing, the Colts have Tyler Warren leading the way at this position, and I assume Drew Ogletree returns as a restricted free agent on a low-cost deal. He could fill that specific blocking role like Alie-Cox does.
If things play out this way, depth will still be needed, but perhaps the Colts would opt to address that need in the draft by bringing in a younger player with more upside. Alie-Cox is currently 32 years old.

That being said, retaining Alie-Cox provides the offense with a very stable presence. We know the role Alie-Cox will play and that he will do so reliably.
Considering this is a one-year deal that won’t break the bank, my initial prediction is that he will return.
