Grade Indianapolis Colts sign C Josh Kreutz
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Colts add depth at center with a low-risk UDFA signing. Media coverage emphasizes QB moves over this roster addition across multiple outlets. Kreutz joining as practice squad depth suggests limited immediate impact expectations. Fans view this as mundane roster maintenance rather than meaningful upgrades. Indianapolis prioritizes competition and flexibility at backup positions moving forward.
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Indianapolis Colts — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Josh's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Cs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as minimum-level money for the C market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at minimum-level money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Josh is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $3.1M contract represents a significant commitment with heavy guarantees.
