Pinter, a graduate of Ball State University and native of South Bend, Ind., was selected by the Colts in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In his five seasons with the Colts, Pinter appeared in 77 games (10 starts), and has one career catch – for a touchdown, no less – in 2021. Pinter primarily played as a backup behind Ryan Kelly and, in 2025, Tanor Bortolini. Pinter did not appear in the 2023 season due to a broken ankle.

Ebukam joined the Colts in 2023 and led the team in sacks with 9.5 in his first season in Indianapolis, while also setting career-highs in tackles (57) and forced fumbles (three).

Wednesday, March 11 3:15pm update: The Washington Commanders are signing safety Nick Cross to a two-year contract, per Ian Rapoport.
In four seasons with the Colts, Cross appeared in 67 games (38 starts) and recorded 304 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, five interceptions and 12 passes defensed. Just 20 years old in his rookie season, Cross became the youngest player in Colts history to start a game in the Super Bowl era and the second-youngest player to ever play in a Colts uniform.
Cross joined the Colts as a 2022 third-round pick out of Maryland; he had the fastest 40-yard dash among safeties (4.34 seconds) in the 2022 NFL Combine and was the youngest player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Tuesday, March 10 2:00pm update: The Houston Texans are signing right tackle Braden Smith to a two-year contract, per The Athletic's Diana Russini.
Look for the Colts to replace Smith at right tackle with 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Travis, who started the final four games of the 2025 season at right tackle (three starts) and left tackle (one start). Travis earned a solid 74.2 overall grade from Pro Football Focus and allowed just one sack in 165 pass blocking snaps, per PFF.
Smith, who turns 30 on March 25, joined the Colts as a 2018 second-round pick and started 105 games over the last eight seasons.

Monday, March 9 12:30pm update: Wide receiver Alec Pierce announced on The Pat McAfee Show that he has agreed to re-sign with the Colts.
Pierce, who was set to be the top free agent wide receiver on the market, remains in Indianapolis as a crucial part of the organization's plans for the future. The 25-year-old is coming off a banner year in which he surpassed the 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career and led the league in yards per catch (21.3) for the second consecutive year. His natural athleticism, speed and ability to consistently win 50-50 balls have made him one of the top downfield threats in the NFL, and his relentless work ethic means he's only going to continue to get better as his career continues.

Monday, March 9 update: NFL free agency is officially – well, sort of – open.
Beginning at noon on Monday, unrestricted free agents can enter negotiations and agree to terms with any team around the NFL. An annual reminder: Those contracts, if they're agreed to with another team, can't become official until after 4 p.m. Wednesday, which is the start of the new league year.
We'll keep you up to date right here on all the moves involving the Colts in the coming days. Another reminder, though: We won't have updates on players the Colts sign until those moves become official.
Last week, the Colts placed the transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones, which means a few things to watch over the next few days. The main thing: Jones can negotiate offer sheets with other teams in addition to the Colts, and if he agrees to an offer sheet with another team, the Colts would have five days to match that offer and keep him in Indianapolis.
Just before free agency opened on Monday, the Colts re-signed kicker Blake Grupe. Grupe made all 11 of his field goals and all 10 of his PATs – and hit that memorable franchise record 60-yard field goal against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 – over his five games with the Colts in 2025.
There are several other Colts unrestricted free agents we'll be monitoring this week, too. The full list:
- RB Ameer Abdullah
- RB Salvon Ahmed
- TE Mo Alie-Cox
- S Nick Cross
- DE Samson Ebukam
- DT Neville Gallimore
- LB Buddy Johnson
- DT Eric Johnson II
- QB Daniel Jones
- CB Chris Lammons
- DE Tyquan Lewis
- S George Odum
- TE Drew Ogletree
- DE Kwity Paye
- WR Alec Pierce
- C Danny Pinter
- LB Germaine Pratt
- T Braden Smith
- S Rodney Thomas II
- WR Laquon Treadwell
- DT Chris Wormley
Check back here for updates as they come in throughout the next few weeks.
