Colts Cutting TE Jelani Woods

Injuries have prevented Woods from really getting his career off the ground, so now he’ll look for a fresh start elsewhere. He hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2022. 

Woods, 26, is a former third-round pick by the Colts in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Virginia. He’s entering the final year of a four-year, $5,372,474 rookie contract that includes a $1,087,253 signing bonus.

He was set to earn a base salary of $1.437 million in the final year of his deal. 

In 2022, Woods appeared in 15 games and recorded 25 receptions for 312 yards (12.5 YPC) and three touchdowns.
