With the Indianapolis Colts sell-off underway, one under-the-radar defender appears to be garnering interest from other teams.
On the latest episode of 'The Insiders,' the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo mentioned that defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore has "piqued interest" in the midst of a breakout season, with some teams "doing homework" on him as the Colts trade players away.
"Big payday coming for him soon, whether in Indy or elsewhere," Garafolo posted on X.

While the Colts' focus has shifted to the future and accumulating draft capital, Garafolo mentioned that Adebawore "could still be a piece of what's happening in Indianapolis."
Adebawore has put together a terrific season and will help provide a pass-rush presence in DeForest Buckner's absence. He has recorded 25 QB pressures this season and ranks second among all tackles in PFF's pass rush win rate metric.
The 2026 season is the final year of Adebawore's rookie deal. He is currently set to be a free agent in the offseason.
