Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Indianapolis Colts secured solid value with George Odum's one-year, $1.3M deal, earning a B CVI that reflects smart roster building at the safety position. While Odum projects as a depth piece rather than a featured starter, his modest salary creates excellent risk-reward dynamics for a team looking to shore up its secondary without breaking the bank. The veteran safety brings proven special teams value and defensive versatility at a price point that won't hamstring the Colts' salary cap flexibility. The short-term structure is ideal for both sides — Odum gets a chance to showcase expanded skills in a familiar system while Indianapolis maintains roster flexibility for 2025. This represents the type of prudent, low-risk signing that successful franchises make to fill out their depth chart with competent veterans who can contribute immediately if called upon.

Performance Analysis

George Odum earns a D- grade as a veteran safety who has been a premier special teams player throughout his career but limited as a defensive contributor. His 203 tackles across 108 games spanning eight seasons show durability, though his three interceptions and nine passes defended reflect modest production for a safety. Odum was a two-time First-Team All-Pro as a special teamer with the Colts, which is the context that his raw defensive numbers do not capture. His 2025 return to Indianapolis was brief at just three games, suggesting the end of the road may be near for the 30-year-old. Odum's legacy will be defined by his special teams dominance rather than his defensive stats, and that is perfectly fine for a player who maximized his skill set.
