Episode Details

The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent defensive end Micheal Clemons to a three-year, $17 million contract, with nearly $7 million guaranteed. The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus, spreading out the cap hit and providing flexibility. Clemons potential roster bonuses in 2027 and 2028 are only triggered if hes still with the team. The Colts gain pass rush strength, with cap hits of $4.47 million in 2026, $6.38 million in 2027, and $6.12 million in 2028. Releasing Clemons after the first year would save over $4 million in cap space with a $2 million dead cap hit. This move allows the Colts to evaluate Clemons season by season while building a deeper defense.
