The Colts WR structure has moved from the 1a, 1b, 3 set up to move of a 1, 2a, 2b as Marvin struggled, Reggie continued to be a elite WR and Gonzo matured. Dallas Clark and Joseph Addai acted as a 4th/5th WR when they spread it out leaving little time for Hall and Garcon (6 of the pairs 7 targets came from Jim Sorgi week 17).
In the very likely event that Marvin is released or retired the Colts will need to add another reciever. With Clark, Tamme and Addai on the roster the new WR won't have to be a part of the offense right away, but the Colts will carry more than 4 WRs, especially since 2 of those 4 have played almost exclusively on special teams.

A thin FA class, TJ Housh is the big name then it's a 36 year old WR coming off a terrible season, a excellent deep threat with questionable hands and a career 3rd/4th WR (in pass heavy Os).
Housh has been the possession reciever to Chad Ocho Cinco's deep threat. High receptions, low YPR, High Catch %. He works the short routes for small to medium gains.
Engram was a FO favorite as well as Matt Hasselbeck's go to WR on 3rd down, but age, QB injury and general suckitude by the Seahawks lead to an awful contract year for him.
Devery Henderson is the best pure deep threat in the game, averaging almost 25 yards per catch for the Saints this season. He struggles with drops, but a 59% is very good for a reciever who catches his average pass over 15 yards downfield (16.3 AirYards per Reception)
McDonald worked the slot and as a returnman in Saint Louis and Detriot for the first 6 years of his career. In 2007 he almost reached both 1,000 yards and a positive DVOA. He's a 3rd/4th WR that had a big, but not all that effiecent season in the Martz offense 2 years ago. If some team doesn't see the near 1,000 yard season and overpay he could be a cheap (mediocre) veteran addition.
