NFL free agency: Colts re-sign DT Taven Bryan

The Indianapolis Colts are re-signing defensive tackle Taven Bryan in free agency, per multiple reports Tuesday.

Despite the Colts adding Raekwon Davis to the roster on a two-year deal as a rotational depth piece, the team also brought back Bryan into the mix after his one-year stint with the team in 2023.

The contract is for one year again and the terms were not disclosed immediately.

Bryan, 28, served mostly as a depth piece behind DeForest Buckner at the three-technique. However, he started seven games at the one-technique during the 2023 season, six of which were due to the Grover Stewart suspension.

Known for his pass rushing more than his run-stopping abilities, Bryan struggled to produce at the one-technique, but the Colts clearly saw something to work with as a pass rusher behind Buckner and Dayo Odeyingbo at the three-technique.

The former first-round pick recorded 22 tackles (12 solo), four tackles for loss, two sacks and one quarterback hit. According to Pro Football Focus, Bryan recorded 11 total pressures and logged an 11.3% pass-rush win rate.
