JT Tuimoloau has signed a 4-year, $9,942,466 rookie contract with the Indianapolis Colts, with over 88% guaranteed. This deal positions him as a crucial addition to the Colts' defensive line, which aims to improve from their 26th rank in pressure rate from 2024.
Tuimoloau is projected for 3.7 sacks and 76.8 fantasy points in 2025. His versatility allows him to rotate with players like Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye, and potentially shift inside to defensive tackle in sub-packages. His explosive pass-rushing skills and strong hands make him a potential impact player from Day 1.
The Colts' coaching staff is optimistic about his contributions, especially following the departure of Dayo Odeyingbo. With a strong training camp expected, Tuimoloau is set to be a key defensive asset in the 2025 season.
