There has been a concerted effort from General Manager Ryan Poles and new Head Coach Ben Johnson to beef up the trenches.

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.

Getting a player who can be, as Poles described, disruptive as Odeyingbo is, that will allow defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to put him in different positions to maximize his success. Although he's mainly slotted at defensive end, Poles said they will play Odeyingbo in different spots on the line when the timing is right.
