1 perfect Colts move to fill out roster before 2024 training camp

01/07/2024 Raymond 0

The Indianapolis Colts’ defensive backfield, comprised of relatively unknown players like JuJu Brents, Julian Blackmon, Nick Cross, and Jaylon Jones, clearly indicates a pressing need for reinforcement before the 2024 training camp kicks off. A strategic addition to their roster would be free-agent cornerback Patrick Peterson. At 33 years old, Peterson brings a wealth of experience and could seamlessly fill a critical gap for a team in dire need of veteran presence.

During the NFL draft, the Colts focused primarily on bolstering their offense. This suggests that the Colts are relatively confident in their current secondary lineup. However, this also highlights the potential benefit of adding Peterson. While the Colts don’t require a defensive savior, they certainly need seasoned leadership, and Peterson fits this role perfectly. With eight Pro Bowl selections and 36 career interceptions, including two last season, Peterson still demonstrates considerable on-field prowess.

Eagles May Have Logical Trade Partner for James Bradberry

Despite a down year in 2023, 30-year-old James Bradberry remains a valuable veteran presence in the defensive backfield. “Adding the soon-to-be 31-year-old would give the Colts another starting option at cornerback and a good mentor for their young position group at the least,” noted Holder. The top cornerbacks on the Colts’ roster currently include Kenny Moore, JuJu Brents, and Dallis Flowers. While Moore, 28, has 89 starts over his seven-year career, Flowers and Brents have a combined total of just 13 starts. Given this lack of experience, Indianapolis could benefit from adding a seasoned player like Bradberry.
