The Indianapolis Colts have been quick to make moves as the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline approaches, but one player reportedly remains off the table. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore is not going anywhere.
Garafolo reported Thursday that the Colts have no plans to trade Adebawore and "see him as a big part of the picture moving forward." While Garafolo had previously noted that Adebawore would draw interest if made available, he now indicates that Indianapolis will "surely" look to extend his contract before he becomes a free agent in the upcoming offseason.
Key Analysis
The Colts' decision to hold onto Adebawore underscores their belief in his long-term potential. Despite fielding calls and engaging in trades elsewhere, the team views the young defensive tackle as a cornerstone piece. With free agency looming, securing an extension appears to be a priority for Indianapolis, ensuring Adebawore remains a key part of their defensive future.
