The Colts signed a pair of players on Wednesday.
Indianapolis announced receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither have both joined the club.
Westbrook-Ikhine, 28, spent last season with the Dolphins after playing for the Titans for five seasons. While he appeared in 15 games with three starts, he caught just 11 passes for 89 yards.
In 2024, Westbrook-Ikhine caught 32 passes for 497 yards with nine TDs.
Davis-Gaither is reuniting with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who coached him with the Bengals. He appeared in 17 games with 13 starts for the Cardinals last season, recording a career-high 117 total tackles.
A fourth-round pick in 2020, David-Gaither played his first five seasons for the Bengals.

The Colts are reuniting defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo with a player he coached with the Bengals.
Indianapolis announced on Tuesday that the club has signed cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt.
As noted by Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Taylor-Britt’s contract is for one year.
A Bengals second-round pick in 2022, Taylor-Britt played his first three seasons with Anarumo as his defensive coordinator. Last season, Taylor-Britt appeared in eight games with two starts, recording five passes defensed.
In his 47 career games with 40 starts, Taylor-Britt has recorded seven interceptions with 38 passes defended.
The Colts made a veteran addition to their defensive line group on Tuesday.
They announced the signing of defensive tackle Jerry Tillery. The team did not announce the terms of the contract.
Tillery spent the 2025 season with the Chiefs. He played in every game and started three times while picking up 20 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
The Chargers selected Tillery in the first round in 2019 and he remained with the team until being waived in November 2022. He was claimed by the Raiders and then moved on to the Vikings in 2024.
Tillery had 86 tackles, 12.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 96 appearances across those stops.
The Colts signed undrafted free agent Carson Towt on Tuesday, the team announced.
Towt was a forward on the Notre Dame basketball team in 2025, and the Colts plan to convert him to tight end.
The 6-foot-8, 250-pound athlete played basketball at Northern Arizona from 2020-24. While at Northern Arizona, Towt set the Big Sky Conference single-season record with 423 total rebounds in 2024, leading the country, and he recorded 20 double-doubles.
Towt did not play football in high school or college.
With the Colts, Towt will join a tight end with a similar background in Mo Alie-Cox. Alie-Cox played basketball at VCU and was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017.
Alie-Cox, 32, just re-signed with the Colts on Monday and became the second-longest tenured member of the team’s roster.
After losing Tyler Linderbaum as a free agent, the Ravens are bringing in some help at center.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Baltimore has agreed to sign Danny Pitner.
Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com reports the contract is worth $2.25 million for one year with a maximum value of $2.75 million.
Pinter, 29, was a Colts fifth-round pick in 2020 and had spent his entire career with the club. He’s appeared in 77 games with 10 starts in his career.
In 2025, Pinter played all 17 games with one start. He was on the field for 13 percent of offensive snaps and 17 percent of special teams snaps.
Pinter’s contract suggests he’s not necessarily Baltimore’s first choice to start at center. But with his experience, he should at least provide depth and an option if needed.
The Raiders have added a linebacker.
Las Vegas announced on Monday that the club has signed Segun Olubi.
Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Olubi, 26, just completed his rookie contract with the Colts. He was a heavy special teams contributor for Indianapolis, playing about 80 percent of the team’s snaps on the unit in each of the last two seasons.
In 2025, Olubi recorded 11 total tackles with a forced fumble.
Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.'s first quarterback with the Colts was Philip Rivers and he wound up playing with Rivers again to close out his six-year run with the team in 2025.
Those were Rivers’ first games since the end of Pittman’s rookie season in 2020 and his improbable return to action came after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles in the team’s 13th game of the season, but Pittman was no stranger to quarterback changes before that twist. The Colts ran through Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, Nick Foles, Anthony Richardson, Gardner Minshew, and Joe Flacco before getting to Jones, Rivers and Riley Leonard last season.
Living through all of those changes may explain why Pittman is sanguine about the Steelers’ quarterback uncertainty after being traded to the team last week. Aaron Rodgers has not shared his plans for the 2026 season, which leaves Mason Rudolph and Will Howard as the in-house options in Pittsburgh. Pittman said he feels confident about moving forward with either player if that’s how things play out.
“Whenever you have a chance to play with a Hall of Fame quarterback, you always take that,” Pittman said, via Chris Harlan of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “We also have two really good quarterbacks here in Mason and Will, so whatever ends up turning out, I think we’ll have a good plan offensively and we’ll make the most of it.”
If Rodgers opts to do something other than lead the Steelers offense, there may be other options on the table in Pittsburgh but it seems unlikely that Pittman will find himself catching passes from Rivers again in 2026.
The Colts are re-signing veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox to a one-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report.
Alie-Cox, 32, has played all eight of his NFL seasons in Indianapolis, appearing in every game the past five seasons.
He is one of the NFL’s best blocking tight ends.
In 2025, Alie-Cox caught 13 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. He played 39 percent of the offensive snaps and 47 percent on special teams.
He has 127 receptions for 1,550 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career.
Alie-Cox also has six career tackles.
Last night, we mentioned that a guitar used by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd generated a record price of $14.6 million. That was just one piece of the broader auction of the Jim Irsay collection.
Via Dan Hajducky of ESPN, the full complement of high-end memorabilia yielded $93 million.
“The Irsay sale did justice to the brilliance of the collector, and of the monumental pieces he brought together, iconic objects that tell the story of our culture and our times,” Christie’s Americas president Julien Pradels said in a statement.
The collection broke 23 records. Jack Kerouac’s original typescript of On the Road went for $12.135 million, the most ever paid for a literary manuscript.
Per Christie’s, “a portion of the proceeds of these sales will be donated to philanthropic causes supported by Jim Irsay during his lifetime.”
Irsay, longtime owner of the Colts, died last May at the age of 65.
The late Jim Irsay collected rare musical instruments. And he made some wise investments.
Via BBC.com, a guitar played by David Gilmour on six of Pink Floyd’s albums sold for a record $14.6 million at auction.
That makes it the most expensive guitar ever sold.
The 1969 Fender Stratocaster, dubbed by Gilmour the ‘Black Strat’, was used on all Pink Floyd albums recorded between 1970 and 1983.
Christie’s had estimated that the guitar would sell in the range of $2 million to $3 million.
Other items from the Irsay collection that were sold on Thursday include a custom-built guitar owned by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead ($11.6 million), the guitar used by Kurt Cobain in Nirvana’s video for Smells Like Teen Spirit ($6 million), a piano owned by John Lennon ($3.2 million), a drum set owned by Ringo Starr ($2.4 million), and Sylvester Stallone’s handwritten script for Rocky ($508,000).
Irsay died in May 2025. His family announced last year that the items would be sold, per his wishes.
“Look, it’s not mine,” Irsay said in 2023. “I always say, ‘You never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.’ I mean, I don’t own anything. Someone else is going to own it, and someone else is going to be in here.”
