Joel A. Erickson reports the Colts are signing former Chiefs DT Jerry Tillery.

Erickson adds the Colts are also signing Notre Dame basketball player Carson Towt as a TE.

Tillery, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2019 out of Notre Dame. He was in the fourth year of his four-year, $11,422,158 contract that included $10,002,591 guaranteed when the Chargers waived him.

The Raiders claimed Tillery off waivers and he finished out the year in Las Vegas before re-signing with the team on a one-year deal. Las Vegas cut him loose and he caught on with the Vikings to a one-year deal for 2024. 

From there, Tillery signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs for the 2025 season.

In 2025, Tillery appeared in all 17 games for the Chiefs and recorded 20 tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery.
