What happened: The Indianapolis Colts announced they have signed guard Jalen Farmer and linebacker Bryce Boettcher. Both were fourth-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the two deals done, the team's entire 2026 draft class is now under contract.

Why it matters: Getting every draft pick signed before the bulk of the offseason program closes removes a routine piece of administrative business and lets the rookies participate fully without contract uncertainty. For Day 3 picks like Farmer and Boettcher, an on-time signing means a clean runway to compete for depth and special-teams roles in training camp.

What to watch: Watch how Farmer and Boettcher are deployed once training camp opens, with both late-round rookies in line to compete for roster spots along the offensive line and at linebacker.
