Overview
- Indianapolis announced Tuesday that it signed former Chargers safety Nasir Adderley, who is ending a three-year retirement to attempt an NFL return.
- Adam Schefter reported the contract as a one-year, team-friendly deal worth just over $1 million.
- Adderley will compete for a roster spot in a secondary that added Jonathan Owens and Juanyeh Thomas and lost starter Nick Cross, with Cam Bynum viewed as a leading option at safety.
- A recent workout in front of Colts officials helped prompt the move, and Adderley has past familiarity with head coach Shane Steichen from their time with the Chargers.
- A 2019 second-round pick, Adderley started 44 of 50 games in Los Angeles with 232 tackles and three interceptions before retiring in 2023 to focus on health, family and business, then said he missed the game’s competition and brotherhood.
