Adetomiwa Adebawore signs $35 million Colts extension one week before trade deadline

Adetomiwa Adebawore has agreed to a two-year, $35 million contract extension with the Indianapolis Colts, keeping the defensive lineman at the club through the 2028 season. The deal comes a week before the 10 November trade deadline, as the 2-6 Colts face speculation about further changes to their roster.

The 25-year-old was due to become a free agent in March and is projected to have his best season, with eight sacks and 19 tackles so far, including four for losses. The reported deal includes a $13 million signing bonus. Indianapolis has already fired general manager Chris Ballard and traded Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner; running back Jonathan Taylor has also been the subject of trade reports. The Colts’ first-round pick belongs to the Jets.
