Colts free agency: Tyquan Lewis re-signs on 2-year deal

The Indianapolis Colts are bringing back a fan favorite and a player with an incredible story. Defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis is returning to the team on a two-year deal.

Lewis was slated to hit free agency when the new league year begins Wednesday, but the Colts were able to bring back the persevering pass rusher after a career season.

Though the financials haven’t been reported as of this writing, it’s a two-year deal, per James Boyd of The Athletic.

Lewis has an incredible story. The former second-round pick was just beginning to break out in 2021 before he suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Tennessee Titans. The Colts re-signed him to a one-year deal the following offseason.

Again having a strong 2022 campaign, Lewis tore the patellar tendon in his other knee. In an eerie coincidence, it occurred almost exactly one year later to the day. The Colts once again re-signed him to a one-year deal for the 2023 season.

Then, Lewis broke out in a rotational role.

He tied a career-high with 4.0 sacks while he posted career-high marks in tackles for loss (nin), quarterback hits (13) and total pressures (44).

With Grover Stewart back on a three-year deal and the trio of Kwity Paye, Samson Ebukam and Dayo Odeyingbo returning on the edge, the Colts again sport a solid defensive line.
