Every Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the AFC South Notebook.

Indianapolis Colts

Colts may be big spenders. Indianapolis has typically taken a disciplined approach to free agency, but with an abundance of cap space and a number of needs to address, that may not be the case this year.

McAfee gives clever recruiting pitches. Punter and humorist Pat McAfee is doing some creative recruiting for the Colts in an attempt to land some of the big-name free agents.

The case for DeMarco Murray. ESPN's Mike Wells says the Colts would be wise to sign last season's leading rusher.

Houston Texans

How will the Texans replace Johnson? Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle looks at the Texans' options when it comes to replacing veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson. 

Watt's log cabin in the 'middle of nowhere' is spectacular. It's not exactly in the middle of nowhere, but J.J. Watt's $800,000 log cabin is something to behold.

Swearinger accused of theft. Texans safety D.J. Swearinger is under investigation after a Houston auto body shop accused him of not paying in full for nearly $20,000 worth of upgrades on his truck.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Jaguars GM has more free-agent hits than misses. Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union delves into the past hits and misses Dave Caldwell has made in free agency.

Lee sues Lloyd's. Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee is suing Lloyd's of London after his attempt to collect on a $4.5 million insurance claim was denied.

Jacksonville has some catching up to do. The Jaguars are among the teams under the 89 percent threshold as required by the CBA's minimum spend provision. As ESPN's John Clayton explains, that pretty much mandates them to be among the biggest players in free agency.

Tennessee Titans

Titans say no to drones. The Titans are backing a proposed Tennessee law to limit drone flights over stadiums and large crowds.

Tommy Smith has lofty goals for 2015. Titans president and CEO Tommy Smith outlined his goals for 2015 during a recent radio appearance and insisted that steps are being made to turn the team into a Super Bowl contender.

Can the Titans draw free agents? ESPN's Paul Kuharsky says the Titans are in a good position to sign big-name players in free agency.
