As trade winds swirl for Colts, they sign Adetomiwa Adebawore to a 2-year extension, AP source says

The Indianapolis Colts retained defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore on Tuesday by signing him to a two-year contract extension, according to an AP source. The 25-year-old defensive tackle, who was a fourth-round pick in 2023, will earn $35 million over the two-year deal, with $22.5 million guaranteed. The move comes as the Indianapolis Colts, currently 2-6, reassess their roster following a series of roster changes and troubling performance.

General manager Chris Ballard was recently fired, and two veteran players, Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, were traded to other teams in pursuit of draft picks. Adebawore's breakout season has seen him start two games and appear in all eight contests, recording a career-high four sacks, 19 tackles, and 4 tackles for loss.
