Colts Trade for Blackmon, Get Rookie Production
Description
The Indianapolis Colts bolstered their cornerback ranks by trading for Mekhi Blackmon from the Minnesota Vikings. Blackmon, who had a quiet rookie year, stepped up in 2025, starting 11 games and contributing 64 tackles, 7 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions. Despite some struggles, he provided reliable depth in a position plagued by injuries. The Vikings, in turn, used the trade to acquire Michigan fullback Max Bredeson and Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday. The Colts move is seen as a successful acquisition, given Blackmons production on a rookie deal and the potential for his role to expand or contract based on injury status.
