Colts plan to keep defensive tackle Ade Adebawore despite trade inquiries
Summary

The Indianapolis Colts have decided not to trade defensive tackle Ade Adebawore ahead of the trade deadline. Despite inquiries from other teams, the Colts view the 25-year-old as a key part of their future following the departure of veteran DeForest Buckner. Adebawore has performed well this season, with 17 tackles and 4.0 sacks in seven games, and is expected to replace Buckner as a full-time starter. The Colts may seek to extend Adebawore's contract during the offseason as he is set to become a free agent. They currently have significant salary cap space for 2027.
