Colts sign 9 to futures contracts among several roster moves

The Colts made 14 roster moves Monday to begin the 2024 offseason.

The Indianapolis Colts officially got their offseason underway Monday by making several roster moves, including the signings of nine players to Reserve/Future contracts, the team announced.

Along with the nine futures contracts the team signed, all of which include players from the practice squad, the Colts also signed four players to one-year contract extensions while waiving another player. So in total, the Colts made 14 moves.

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 13. That’s why it’s technically a reserve contract. It 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 14 moves the Colts made to begin the offseason:

#Eagles DT Moro Ojomo carted off with neck injury in preseason matchup vs. Browns

It has not been a good night for the Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) against the Cleveland Browns (1-1), as injuries have piled up for the home team. Tyrie Cleveland, who went down in the third quarter, and now defensive tackle Moro Ojomo has been carted off the field with a neck injury in the fourth quarter with a little over 10 minutes remaining.

Ojomo was injured while trying to chase down Browns’ quarterback Kellen Mond.

 

A seventh-round draft pick out of Texas, Ojomo is one of the players fighting for a roster spot.

Before officially off the field, Ojomo gave a wave and a thumbs up, showing optimistic signs towards recovery.

Eagles 2023 offseason preview: Where does Philadelphia stand at WR

We’re previewing the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver position after the first wave of free agency and ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Eagles have made several roster moves that added depth to critical positions, but wide receiver is one under-the-radar spot that could be upgraded.

Philadelphia has one of the top pass-catching duos in the NFL with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the depth behind the two superstars leaves much to be desired.

The Eagles haven’t addressed the position in free agency and could look to use one of their six picks on a dynamic pass catcher in the second or third rounds.

With NFL draft prep underway, here’s an off-season look at Philadelphia’s top-heavy wide receiver position.

5 ex-Broncos players involved in Super Bowl LVII

Remember former Broncos punter Brett Kern? He’s now aiming to win a Super Bowl with the Eagles.

Five former members of the Denver Broncos will be involved in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday evening.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, punter Brett Kern will have a key role on special teams. Kern started his career with the Broncos in 2008 and played two seasons in Denver before later going on to become a three-time Pro Bowler with the Tennessee Titans.

The Eagles also have three former Broncos on their practice squad: wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland, safety Anthony Harris and cornerback Mac McCain III. Cleveland is a former Denver draft pick who spent time on the Broncos’ practice squad with Harris earlier this season.

McCain signed with Denver as a college free agent in 2021. He bounced between the Broncos and Eagles three times as a rookie and has now settled in on Philly’s practice squad.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, have former Denver running back Melvin Gordon on their practice squad. Gordon played with the Broncos from 2020-2022 before being cut midway through the 2022 season.

Sunday’s Super Bowl will be televised on Fox.

Florida Gators tied for lead with most players on Super Bowl team rosters

All seven of these former Gators are in a position to be a part of gridiron glory.

Super Bowl LVII is set for a Sunday, Feb. 12, meeting between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. While there is still a bit of time before the 6:30 p.m. EST kickoff, the bookmakers appear to be slightly bullish on the Eagles while the Chiefs are looking for their second NFL title in three appearances over the past four seasons.

Both teams have Florida football alumni among their ranks, with four expected to play in the mid-February championship game. However, if one includes those listed on injured reserve or the practice squad as USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerberg did in his recent article on collegiate representation in the big game, the Orange and Blue are tied for the most former Gators among the final two teams. Take a look at the names and a brief blurb from Myerberg below.

Kansas City: DE [autotag]Carlos Dunlap[/autotag], WR [autotag]Kadarius Toney[/autotag], P [autotag]Tommy Townsend[/autotag], RB [autotag]La’Mical Perine[/autotag].

Philadelphia: WR [autotag]Tyrie Cleveland[/autotag], S [autotag]C.J. Gardner-Johnson[/autotag], OT [autotag]Fred Johnson[/autotag].

Dunlap joined Kansas City in the offseason and chipped in four sacks as part of the Chiefs’ defensive line rotation. Toney injured his ankle in the AFC championship game win against Cincinnati but should be ready for the Super Bowl. For the Eagles, Gardner-Johnson tied for the league lead with six interceptions after being traded by New Orleans in the preseason amid a contract dispute.

Florida is tied with the Oklahoma Sooners with the most players mentioned at seven, while the Florida State Seminoles follow with six, and Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Mississippi State Bulldogs and Nebraska Cornhuskers with four.

5 ex-Broncos involved in NFL’s playoff games Saturday

After making his playoff debut last week, Adam Gotsis will look to upset the Chiefs on Saturday.

Story update: We mistakenly overlooked ex-Broncos safety Anthony Harris, who was elevated from the Eagles’ practice squad to their game-day roster on Friday. Our original post can be seen below. 

Five former members of the Denver Broncos will be involved in the NFL’s divisional-round playoff games on Saturday.

First, in the Jacksonville Jaguars-Kansas City Chiefs game, defensive lineman Adam Gotsis will feature on the Jags’ defense, and quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy will be working with Trevor Lawrence.

Gotsis played for the Broncos from 2016-2019, totaling 109 tackles and five sacks. He joined the Jaguars in 2020 and made his playoff debut last weekend. McCoy served as Denver’s offensive coordinator from 2009-2012 and again in 2017.

The second game will also involve a pair of former Broncos. The Philadelphia Eagles now have wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland, who signed with Philly earlier this week after Denver opted to not sign him to a reserve/future contract.

The New York Giants, meanwhile, have defensive coordinator Don Martindale, who held the same position with the Broncos in 2010. “Wink” Martindale was promoted from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator after one season in Denver.

The only team without a clear Broncos connection playing on Saturday is the Kansas City Chiefs. All the more reason to dislike them.
