Colts Sign Former Saints Starter, Two Others to Contracts
In preparation for a pivotal 2024 offseason, the Indianapolis Colts are still adding to their roster in critical positions.
Kendell Brooks, Michael Tutsie, and Lewis Kidd, the former starting guard for the New Orleans Saints, have all signed reserve/future contracts with the Indianapolis Colts.
Former Michigan State Spartan Brooks was an undrafted free agent in 2023 and played for the Arizona Cardinals. His college career started at North
Greenville University, but he ended up playing cornerback for MSU in the Big Ten, where he recorded 109 tackles, 4 pass defences, and 3 forced fumbles.
Tutsie’s name may be familiar to Colts fans, as he signed to Indy as an undrafted free agent last season out of North Dakota State. As a member of the
Bison, he was electric, putting together an impressive career of 338 tackles, 22 pass defenses, 11 interceptions, and 68 games of experience as a safety.
One other fact is he went to Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, so he knows the franchise quite well.
After how bad Rodney Thomas II looked in his sophomore season as a free safety in 2023, the contracts of Brooks and Tutsie could put more competition into the safety position for Indy.
And lastly, Kidd, the guard. The former Bobcat from Montana State was on Indianapolis’ practice squad the previous season, but he was cut loose in
the middle of December, after two months. Kidd was able to play and potentially start for the Saints in 2022. This is a smart idea to continue
strengthening protection with a rookie quarterback like Anthony Richardson entering year two, especially with offensive line depth being so crucial.
