The Colts entered free agency ranked 20th in available salary cap space and with a number of positions to address. While one can reason why adding to defensive end could make sense, it is far from a top priority with Laiatu Latu, Kwity Paye, and Samson Ebukam all under contract yet.

After making three separate moves to acquire offensive linemen Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and Jonah Jackson, the team addressed their need for an edge rusher opposite Montez Sweat by agreeing to terms with Dayo Odeyingbo on a three-year deal worth $48 million, $32 million of which is guaranteed.

Pro Football Focus wasn't blown away by the Bears' decision to sign Dayo Odeyingbo on Day 1 of 2025 NFL free agency.
