Colts Won’t Trade DT Adetomiwa Adebawore

Garafolo reported earlier today that teams were doing homework on Adebawore in case he were on the market. Instead, Garafolo expects the Colts to work out an extension before the new league year to ensure he won’t hit free agency.

With the Colts moving on from other expiring contracts like G Quenton Nelson and DT DeForest Buckner, some thought Adebawore could be next, but instead he will remain with Indianapolis.

Adebawore, 25, was a three-year starter at Northwestern and earned honorable mentions for All-Big Ten honors in 2021 and 2022. 

The Colts drafted him in the fourth round with the No. 110 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $4,636,912 that includes a signing bonus of $796,912.

In 2026, Adebawore has appeared in seven games for the Colts and recorded 17 total tackles, three tackles for loss, four sacks and a pass defended.

We’ll have more on the Colts as the news becomes available.
