The Colts entered free agency ranked 20th in available salary cap space and with a number of positions to address. While one can reason why adding to defensive end could make sense, it is far from a top priority with Laiatu Latu, Kwity Paye, and Samson Ebukam all under contract yet.

Odeyingbo slots in as the starter opposite Montez Sweat, for now. The Bears still might address the position in the draft, where they have three picks in the first two rounds.

The Chicago Bears made another splash signing in 2025 free agency, this time on defense with Colts DE Dayo Odeyingbo. Here's our grade for the move.
