6 free-agent moves from AFC South rivals that should terrify Titans fans
Indianapolis Colts running it back by:
1. Re-signing Grover Stewart:
Yeah, he'll turn 31 next season, but Stewart can still play with the best of them – per PFF, each of his last five seasons have been better than the last. He had the best statistical season of his career in 2023, posting his highest overall defensive PFF grade ever and setting the lowest missed tackle percentage since 2020.
He's not exactly a threat to get to the QB – he's only ever gotten to four sacks once in a season – but he's one of the league's premier run-stoppers, which obviously has plenty of value on its own. The deal has an out after two years, too, so if Stewart's run-stopping production falls off a cliff soon, the Colts can bail before it really hurts them.
2. Re-signing Kenny Moore:
Depending on how you feel about various stats, Moore is either a good corner or a great one.
On one hand, he finished the year as PFF's 18th-best corner, had the best coverage grade of his career, and was back to his ball-hawking ways (three interceptions, two PBUs) after a down season in 2022. On the other hand, he was called for five penalties, allowed a passer rating of 98.3, and let up four touchdowns for the second straight season.
He's only 28, and the Colts got a sensible deal (three years, $30 million) done with him; there are way worse ways to spend $10 million a year. The Colts know what kind of defense they want to play and made the moves to ensure it happened – that type of confidence and execution should worry other AFC South fans, at least a little.
