What you need to know:
Banogu will hit free agency after four years in Indianapolis in which he wasn't able to sustain a significant role in the Colts' defense. The talented 27-year-old recorded two and a half sacks as a rookie but wasn't able to build off that promise, and was inactive for 16 games over his final three seasons in Indianapolis.
In 2022, though, Banogu did grow into a role on special teams. His five special teams tackles were seventh on the Colts, and his 232 special teams snaps were fifth. From 2019-2021, Banogu only played 100 total snaps on special teams.
