The Indianapolis Colts have been significantly more active in the opening stage of free agency than their fan base has grown accustomed to in years past.
So, no matter which moves are being judged on the outside, I think I speak for the fans when I say this approach is preferred over staying passive during the process. Here at A to Z Sports, a couple of our writers went through and shared the worst move by each AFC team. And the one they chose for the Colts might shock you.
Colts signing of safety Cam Bynum labeled the team’s worst move of the offseason
“Cam Bynum is a really good player and he solves a big problem for the Indianapolis Colts. To be honest, it only lands as my “worst move” for Indianapolis because I’ve been a big fan of what Chris Ballard has done in free agency.
My only qualm with the Bynum signing is the market value at safety. I can’t help but wonder if the Colts could have gotten a better deal with a different player. Justin Reid or Jeremy Chinn would have been better bang for your buck and served the same purpose.”
The move chosen in the article for the Colts was their choice to give former Minnesota Vikings safety Cam Bynum a four-year $60 million contract. Though I understand where they came from, I completely disagree with their choice.
The Colts have needed a ball hawk at the free safety position for quite some time, and Bynum looks like a great fit for Lou Anarumo’s defense. If I were to give my worst move for the Colts offseason, it would be their decision to give Daniel Jones such a large deal to compete with Anthony Richardson, though I don’t even dislike that move as much as some others seem to. The Bynum signing was a major win for the Colts and their defense for 2025, and I don’t think it’s going to be a move the team regrets anytime soon.
