2025 NFL Signings Graded by Team: Indianapolis Colts

This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Indianapolis Colts. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Signings


Colts sign RB Khalil Herbert (1 year, $1.33 million): A+ Grade
signed on 3/20/2025


We finally have this contract info. Khalil Herbert signed with the Colts a week ago, but we were waiting on the details to be released. We now know that Herbert will be getting $1.33 million for 2025.

I love this signing. The Colts didn’t have quality depth behind Jonathan Taylor last year. Herbert will be a much better reserve. Herbert’s been underrated for a long time, so this is a steal for him.

Colts sign QB Daniel Jones (1 year, $14 million): A Grade
signed on 3/11/2025


The Colts had a major dilemma with Anthony Richardson. They could keep starting him, but that would just reward his lethargy. If they go with another quarterback, they could be missing out on his upside. The solution was to sign another young quarterback with potential.

Giants fans may scoff at this acquisition, but New York’s front office never properly surrounded Jones with talent. Jones never had adequate pass protection. He also lacked a No. 1 receiver until Malik Nabers last year, and that’s when Saquon Barkley departed. Jones will be able to lean on some quality teammates in Indianapolis, so perhaps he can finally live up to expectations.

Colts sign CB Charvarius Ward (3 years, $60 million): B- Grade
signed on 3/10/2025


This has the potential to be a great signing for the Colts. Charvarius Ward is a very talented cornerback who should be able to fill a position of need. However, there’s a downside that can’t be ignored. Ward is 30, and he dealt with injuries last year. He could be on his way out of the NFL, so this is a very risky signing. I don’t hate the move at all, but there’s a very low floor to this deal.

Colts sign S Camryn Bynum (3 years, $48 million): C Grade
signed on 3/10/2025


The Colts had major problems stopping the pass last year, so it’s understandable that they would sign a safety. What they should have done, however, is obtain a safety who was good in coverage last year.

Camryn Bynum is young (26) and plays the run very well. However, he’s been inconsistent in coverage, so this is an overpay. There’s a chance he improves, so I don’t totally hate this deal.
