Colts Re-Sign Kicker Blake Grupe to One-Year Deal Worth Up to $1.4 Million

The move sets up a training-camp competition at kicker with Spencer Shrader returning from knee surgery.

Overview

Agent Mike Delle Donne confirmed Grupe agreed to a one-year pact that can reach $1.4 million.
Grupe finished last season perfect for Indianapolis, going 11-for-11 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points.
He drilled all four attempts from 50-plus yards and hit a franchise-long 60-yarder in Seattle after signing in Week 14.
The Colts plan to carry Shrader into camp after his Week 5 ACL and MCL tear, creating a head-to-head battle for the job.
Grupe arrived after the Saints waived him during a slump and after Michael Badgley’s PAT misses, and one report noted the new deal could briefly push Indianapolis over the cap as other moves, including work on Alec Pierce, are evaluated.
