The Indianapolis Star’s Nate Atkins believes RB Gus Edwards would be a good fit for the Colts.
Edwards, a free agent, is unlikely to re-sign with Baltimore and, according to Atkins, could suffice as a solid backfield option alongside Jonathan Taylor in Indy. “At 29, [Edwards] might find it preferable to have a more specialized role that can extend his career, and he’s good enough to convince the Colts to ease up on Taylor’s carrier at times,” Atkins said, predicting the Colts could sign Gus Bus for somewhere between $4-6 million on a one-year deal. The move would make sense for both sides if Zack Moss — after an impressive 2023 campaign — signs elsewhere this offseason. A between-the-tackles banger, Edwards posted the lowest yards per carry (4.1) of his career in 2023.
