Colts Cut K Blake Grupe

He landed with the Colts last year and kicked well after an injury to Shrader but couldn’t keep up the momentum. Odds are he’ll have a shot to keep kicking with another team. 

Grupe, 27, played collegiately at both Arkansas State and Notre Dame. He signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft, and ultimately impressed enough to win the starting job coming out of camp. 

He was scheduled to be a restricted free agent in 2026, but was let go by the Saints at the end of November and joined the Colts in December.

Indianapolis re-signed him on a one-year, $1.4 million deal for 2026. 

In 2025, Grupe appeared in 11 games for the Saints and made 18 of 26 field goal attempts (69.2 percent) to go with all 15 extra point attempts. He then appeared in five games for the Colts and made all 11 of his field goal attempts and all 10 of his extra point attempts.
