Cornerback Josh Gordy Signs Tender With Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts continue to make moves, prior to next week’s NFL Draft. The Colts have not slowed down at all since the beginning of NFL free agency, and will most likely keep rolling throughout the offseason. These constant additions are a definitive sign of a team in the midst of a constant reloading process.

On Monday, the Colts got a signed tender from exclusive rights free agent cornerback Josh Gordy. Gordy was picked up by the Colts in August of 2012 from the St. Louis Rams, for an undisclosed pick in next year’s NFL Draft. Gordy appeared in 15 games for the Colts last season, and collected 15 tackles.

Josh Gordy is another one of many position players that the Colts have kept around on the defensive side of the ball. Although the Colts did lose a few key pieces on defense to free agency, they seem to be moving towards a youth movement, giving several low-risk players a chance to fight for a spot on this up-and-coming team. If Gordy can prove to be beneficial for the Colts on a regular basis, then he will definitely be given the opportunity to show what he can offer.

NFL Free Agency: Indianapolis Colts Sign Linebacker Josh McNary

The Indianapolis Colts continue to make additions in NFL free agency, leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft. On Wednesday, the Colts came to terms with linebacker Josh McNary. McNary will be a welcome talent for the team, but his talents may not be displayed for a while. Upon signing, the Colts put McNary on their Reserve/Military list.

McNary is currently commissioned in the United States Army, and may not be available for up-to two more years. The Army Lieutenant has served two years of military service, since his Senior year. In 2011, McNary was awarded with the East-West Shrine Game Pat Tillman Award, given to the player who best exemplifies character, intelligence, sportsmanship and service on and off of the field. McNary left Army as the program’s all-time leader in sacks and tackles for loss, while adding 195 tackles, nine passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

McNary may not play for the Colts for quite some time yet, but is expected to be in attendance at this years’ training camp.
