During the weeks, we will take a closer look at potential candidates for the free agent for the Indianapolis colts.
Let’s start with the position of a corner half and the saints of New Orleans, Paulson Adebo.
Adebo was recently selected as a “underestimated” free agent to look at the position of the corner half during the offseason.
Unfortunately, his 2024 season ended after only seven games due to a broken femur. However, between the 2023 and 2024 seasons, which lasted 22 games, Adebo granted a completion rate of only 58% and 13.8 yards per capture.
He also had a very good production of bullets during this period with seven interceptions and 18 ruffles of pass, bringing a presence of game to the secondary. The opposing quarters also have a passer note of only 68.5.
The need for the cornerback for the Foal is obvious. As GM Chris Ballard said, Indianapolis must improve in the secondary. Collectively in 2024, the defense of the Colts passes ranked in the lower third of football in the completion rate, the passenger note, the deviations of passes and the yards by the authorized passing attempt.
With the Play style of Adebo, a defensive coordinator who is ready to count more on the coverage of the man “Surley Value”, will be As Pff saidHaving Adebo in a corner position. But with this style of play, it came from penalties. Adebo was penalized nine times in 2024 only and some big games have allowed.
Under the defensive coordinator of New Colts, Lou Anarumo, like Horseshoe Huddle Zach Hicks Noticed in a recent article, we will see more looks of coverage for Indianapolis men this season.
With the anarumo scheme also emphasizing versatility and based on the possibility of disguising covers, an experienced addition to the cornerback and / or safety could bring more value to the colts than a recruit.
ADEBO is the 11th corner classified on Big Board from the PFF Libre agency and the 87th free agent ranked in total. Pff provides that Debo won an agreement of three years worth 40 million dollars, including 25 million dollars guaranteed.
