The Colts have added some depth to their secondary. The team has signed cornerback Chris Lammons, according to Nate Atkins of the Indy Star.
Lammons spent the past three seasons in Kansas City, getting into 33 games (including playoffs). He was a key special teamer in Kansas City, appearing in 75 percent of his team’s ST snaps in 16 games during their most recent Super Bowl-winning season. The 27-year-old has also had stints with the Falcons, Saints, Dolphins and Bengals.
Last February, a warrant was issued for Lammons’ arrest following an alleged assault that included Saints running back Alvin Kamara. Lammons was facing a felony battery charge before reaching a plea agreement earlier this month, with the player pleading no contest to a misdemeanor count of breaching the peace. Lammons also agreed to serve 30 hours of community service and will pay $100K toward the victim’s medical bills. He could still face punishment from the NFL for the incident.
Other than Kenny Moore, the Colts have an inexperienced grouping of cornerbacks. Second-round rookie Julius Brents and fifth-round rookie Darius Rush could push for significant roles in the secondary, while former UDFAs like Dallis Flowers and Darrell Baker are also vying for roster spots.
