The Indianapolis Colts were the NFL's biggest seller before this year's trade deadline, making several major moves as they enter a franchise rebuild. Indianapolis shipped off offensive lineman Quenton Nelson, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, wide receiver Keenan Allen and wide receiver Josh Downs before Tuesday's 4 p.m. However, the team reportedly could have made another significant move.
The Colts reportedly had an offer featuring multiple draft picks on the table for defensive tackle Grover Stewart, but waited too long to make a decision. "Sources: The #Colts had an offer for DT Grover Stewart last week involving a 4th-round pick and another late-round pick, but waited on it and it was ultimately pulled. Indy keeps Stewart, who will be a free agent in March," NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported.
Stewart is playing under the final season of his contract, set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year. Stewart began his NFL career as a fourth-round draft pick for the Colts in 2017, suiting up for Indianapolis in each of his 10 professional season. Through nine games this season, the 33-year-old defensive tackle has 0.5 sacks, three QB hits and 28 tackles.
In addition to receiving trade offers for Stewart, the Colts also answered calls about superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. However, after weeks of swirling trade speculation, Taylor is also staying put in Indianapolis. The Colts, who are currently on a five-game losing streak, will take the field for a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday.
