This move gives Indianapolis another option besides Grover against the run.

The Colts didn’t have another DL who could do that effectively last season, really

In theory, Davis could play with Stewart on first down against certain teams, giving Buckner a chance to rest on running downs and focus on passing downs.

The Colts have been trying to take some of the load off Buckner for a while now. In my opinion, better to do that on run downs.

Seems like a good signing. Will be nice to have a quality backup for Grover.

He’s a monster 6-7 330

Not an exciting pickup but it's one less draft day need now.

I'd still look at Khristian Boyd and Evan Anderson later on Day 3 as potential developmental guys who can be the long term replacement for Grover.

Spotrac has the full contract details:

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/indianap...n-davis-47651/


Raekwon Davis signed a 2 year, $14,000,000 contract with the Indianapolis Colts, including a $5,000,000 signing bonus, $7,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $7,000,000. In 2024, Davis will earn a base salary of $2,000,000 and a signing bonus of $5,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $5,010,000.

$7M guaranteed (signing bonus + 2024 salary)

Per Game Active Bonus: $30,000 ($510,000)


Note: The Colts could cut him after the first year and only incur a $2.5M Dead Cap hit (prorated signing bonus).

That 6-game stretch without Grover was a wakeup call for the run D.

Yes, it was ugly without Big Grove. Also, I never want to see Taven Bryan take a snap for the Colts again. BTW... Eric Johnson wasn't even as good as Bryan.

The details of the contract also show that we are paying this guy peanuts.

The Colts didn't have a NT outside of Grover. This gives them that. Good move.
