MANNING STATEMENT

Hilton, who spent a decade in Indianapolis, ranks third in Colts history in receptions (631) and receiving yards (9,691). 

Westbrook-Ikhine played at Indiana University and has spent six seasons in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans (2024-24) and Miami Dolphins (2025).

Davis-Gaither played for the Cincinnati Bengals under Lou Anarumo from 2020-24.

The Colts have signed DEs Arden Key and Micheal Clemons, and DTs Colby Wooden, Jerry Tillery and Derrick Nnadi in the last week.

The Colts signed Towt, who played basketball at Notre Dame in 2025-26, as an undrafted free agent tight end on Tuesday.

Tillery was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers in the first round (No. 28 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. 

Towt, at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, is looking to transition to the NFL after playing collegiate  basketball at Notre Dame (2025-26) and Northern Arizona (2019-25).

The Colts last week re-signed Grupe, who set a franchise record with a 60-yard field goal last season.

Thanks to their connection on the field and their friendship off the field, Pierce and Jones see a bright future for each other – and the Colts – in 2026.

Jones started 13 games for the Colts in 2025 and finished the season third in the NFL in yards per attempt (8.1), fourth in completion percentage (68 percent) and sixth in passer rating (100.2). 

Pierce officially signed his new contract with the Colts on Wednesday, motivated to return by everything from his relationship with Reggie Wayne to his own desire for greatness.
