The Indianapolis Colts have four defensive players who are essentially lock-in starters for 2024. Two defensive linemen, including defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and edge rusher Samson Ebukam, along with linebackers Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed. With just three weeks before NFL teams can begin negotiating with free agents, every position in the Colts secondary is up for grabs.
In 16 games, Kwity Paye compiled a career-high 52 tackles and added eight tackles for loss. He finished with a career-best 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The Colts have the next 10 weeks until the May 2 deadline to settle with the 2021 first-round draft pick and decide whether to exercise his fifth-year option.
