The Colts have their entire draft class under contract.
They signed the final two of their eight picks on Tuesday, with offensive guard Jalen Farmer and linebacker Bryce Boettcher.
The Colts selected Farmer in the fourth round (No. 113 overall). He appeared in 28 career games with 24 starts at Kentucky (2024-25) and Florida (2022-23).
In 2024 and 2025, Farmer started all 24 games at right guard. While at Florida, he appeared in four games with the Gators from 2022-23.
The Colts selected Boettcher in the fourth round (No. 135 overall). He played in 55 career games with 30 starts at Oregon (2022-25) and recorded 269 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, four sacks, 11 passes defensed, two interceptions, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
In 2025, Boettcher started all 15 games and registered 136 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack, six passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles. He also registered a rushing touchdown. Boettcher led the Big Ten in tackles, which was the most by a Duck since 1979.
He was a second-team All-Big Ten choice.
Colts quarterback Daniel Jones took another step toward returning to the team’s lineup at Monday’s OTA practice.
Jones was cleared to take part in 7-on-7 work for the first time since tearing his Achilles last season. Jones had been doing individual work throughout the team’s offseason program and head coach Shane Steichen said the team will move him back into full team drills once they get to training camp this summer.
“It’s just making those strides each and every week and to get him out there at seven-on-seven was huge. . . . We always want to be smart,” Steichen said, via the team’s website. “It’s spring, we don’t play for a while, so we got to be smart with his injury. But he’s making great progress.”
Jones said last week that he expects to be ready to play in Week 1 against the Ravens and hitting another milestone in the process this week is a good sign that he’ll be able to take on a full workload in camp. If that’s the case, there’s little reason to think he won’t be taking snaps on September 13.
The Colts added another quarterback to the roster on Monday.
They announced the signing of Easton Stick and he will join Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Riley Leonard on the depth chart in Indianapolis. Stick spent last season with the Falcons and did not play in any regular season games. He started four games for the Chargers in 2023 and spent five years as a backup in Los Angeles overall.
Stick will take the place of Seth Henigan, who was waived in a corresponding move.
The Colts also signed center Josh Kreutz and cornerback Jai’Onte’ McMillan. Both players went undrafted earlier this year.
Cornerback Wyett Ekeler and guard LaDarius Henderson were waived to round out all of the day’s moves.
The Colts have announced that Hall of Fame receiver Raymond Berry, who won two NFL titles with the Colts and later coached the Patriots to their first Super Bowl appearance, has died. He was 93.
In 13 NFL seasons after arriving in Baltimore as a 20th-round draft pick in 1954, Berry caught 631 passes for 9,275 yards and 68 touchdowns in 154 regular-season games. He was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1950s, the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, and the NFL 100 All-Time Team.
The Colts won the NFL championship in 1958 and 1959. In the epic 1958 title game (known as the Greatest Game Ever Played), Berry caught 12 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in a 23-17 overtime victory against the Giants.
Berry was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1973.
Immediately after his playing career ended, Berry went into coaching. After serving as a receivers coach with the Cowboys (1968-69), the University of Arkansas (1970-72), the Lions (1973-75), the Browns (1976-77), and the Patriots (1978-81), he returned to New England as the head coach in 1984.
In his second season, the Patriots advanced to Super Bowl XX against the Bears.
Berry coached the Patriots through 1989, generating a record of 51-41. He worked as quarterbacks coach for the Lions in 1991 and the Broncos in 1992.
Berry is a member of the Baltimore Ravens’ Ring of Honor, along with seven other Baltimore Colts players. His No. 82 was retired by the Colts.
We extend our condolences to Berry’s family, friends, and colleagues.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson asked for a trade away from the Colts this offseason, but no deal came and Richardson is now taking part in the team’s offseason workouts.
Richardson is competing for the No. 2 quarterback job with Riley Leonard and he was asked on Wednesday whether it feels awkward to be practicing with the team after spending the offseason in search of a new home.
“No, I don’t think so. I signed a contract,” Richardson said. “I was still on this team before the trade stuff. I’ve got an obligation to this team to come out here and play and perform, be ready to play if they need me. I don’t think it’s weird or awkward.”
Richardson said he just wanted to get back to work after missing most of last season with an eye injury and declined to say if he’s still hoping for a trade.
“I’m not really focused on that right now,” Richardson said. “I’m here right now. I’m just trying to make sure I’m staying healthy and keeping everything up there in the mind.”
Richardson’s three years in the NFL have featured a mix of injuries and underwhelming play, which helps to explain why trade interest has not materialized. That may leave winning the backup job to Daniel Jones as his best path to seeing the field in 2026.
