Indianapolis Colts sign DT Derrick Nnadi

Nnadi is a solid rotational defensive tackle who provides depth and veteran experience to Indianapolis's interior line, addressing a positional need without breaking the bank in free agency. The signing represents a sensible, low-risk addition for a team looking to improve its run defense, though Nnadi is more of a complementary piece than a transformative impact player. This is exactly the type of pragmatic depth move that competitive teams make to shore up their roster in March—reliable but unspectacular.
