Colts sign 12 players to futures contracts

The Colts signed 12 players to futures contracts.

The Indianapolis Colts signed 12 players to Reserve/Futures contracts, the team announced Monday.

As is typical protocol following the end of the regular season, the Colts will be preparing to expand their roster to 90 players for the offseason. Much of that includes signing players to futures contracts.

The expansion of the roster to 90 players doesn’t go into effect until the start of the new league year, which is March 15. That’s why it’s technically a reserve contract. This is essentially stating the player will be on the 90-man roster when the time comes.

There is no limit to how many futures contracts the Colts have as long as they are within the 90-man limit when the new league year rolls around.

Here’s a look at the 12 players signed to futures contracts to begin the offseason:

Colts to sign OT Jordan Murray, DE Kameron Cline to practice squad

Colts are expected to sign OT Jordan Murray, DE Kameron Cline to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to sign offensive tackle Jordan Murray and defensive end Kameron Cline to the practice squad, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star.

Until these signings are officially announced by the team, they should be taken with a grain of salt. You can follow along with our tracker, keeping up with every signing.

Murray signed with the Colts this offseason on a futures contract, and it was well-known he would be a project to develop. After struggling through the preseason, the Colts still want to see where his development goes.

Cline has been with the Colts for three seasons now. He initially signed with the Colts as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2020 NFL draft. He showed some improvement during the 2022 preseason, but it wound up being a numbers game in the defensive end room.

Colts release CB Anthony Chesley, waive OT Jordan Murray

The Colts are expected to release CB Anthony Chesley and waive OT Jordan Murray.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to release cornerback Anthony Chesley and waive offensive tackle Jordan Murray ahead of Tuesday’s deadline to reduce the roster to 53 players, per Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star.

Chesley had been battling for the final spot in the cornerback room with a handful of other players. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he found a spot on the practice squad.

Murray signed with the Colts this offseason on a futures contract and even though he struggled during the preseason, it seems the Colts still believe there is upside as Erickson reported they want to bring him back to the practice squad.

Predicting the Colts’ next round of roster cuts

The Colts must cut four players before Tuesday’s deadline. Here’s a prediction.

Once again, the Indianapolis Colts must cut their roster down by four players to shrink the roster to a total of 80 players.

The Colts currently have 84 players counting against the active roster following their latest transaction, which placed rookie tight end Andrew Ogletree on the injured reserve list.

Because defensive back Marcel Dabo does not count against the active roster, the Colts technically get an extra roster spot.

With the second preseason game over, the Colts have until Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET to make their cuts. The final roster cuts from 80 to 53 players will come Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Here’s our prediction for the next wave of roster cuts by the Colts:

Studs and duds from Colts’ preseason loss to Bills

Here are the studs and duds from the Colts’ preseason opener.

The Indianapolis Colts got through their preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday at Highmark Stadium, but couldn’t come away with a victory.

The starting offense played 26 snaps in total, which took them into the second quarter while there was a heavy rotation on the defensive line throughout the majority of the game.

It’s important not to overreact to the preseason, but we still need to attention. Final stat lines don’t mean everything this time of year. It’s more about how a player looked with the snaps they received.

Taking a look at the OTs entering training camp.

The Indianapolis Colts are less than two weeks away from the start of training camp, which again takes place at the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield.

With veterans reporting for training camp on July 26, here’s our preview of the offensive tackle spots:

Colts sign OT Jordan Murray to futures contract

The Colts signed OT Jordan Murray to a futures contract.

The Indianapolis Colts signed offensive tackle Jordan Murray to a reserve/futures contract, the team announced Thursday.

A product of the CFL, Murray started nine games during the 2021 regular season at both right and left tackle with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He spent some time with the Generals in The Spring League in 2020 and participated in a rookie minicamp with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019.

Murray spent four seasons at North Texas (2015-2018) where he played in 44 games while making 34 starts. He was a Conference USA All-Conference honorable mention twice (2016-2017).

The Colts now have 16 players on futures contracts.
