Instead of shipping him out, Indianapolis rebuffed outside trade interest and signed the defensive tackle to a two-year extension worth $35 million.\n\nAdebawore, a 2023 fourth-round pick, has made the most of his opportunities this season. Through eight games he has already tied his career high with four sacks, making a strong case for the Colts to keep him around rather than flip him for draft capital.\n\nThe extension signals that Indianapolis views Adebawore as part of its long-term plans on the defensive line, even as the front office continues working the phones on other roster moves before the deadline. For a fourth-round pick two years into his career, the new deal represents a significant vote of confidence and a notable payday.","published_at":"2026-11-03T22:20:02.142376+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"DT Adetomiwa Adebawore agrees to two-year extension with Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dt-adetomiwa-adebawore-agrees-two-211750601.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"DT Adetomiwa Adebawore agrees to two-year extension with Colts","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dt-adetomiwa-adebawore-agrees-to-two-year-extension-with-colts"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Source: Colts rebuff trade interest in Adebawore, instead extend DT on $35M deal","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50371976/source-colts-adetomiwa-adebawore-reach-2-year-35m-deal"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Colts sign DL Adetomiwa Adebawore to 2-year, $35 million extension: Source","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7751434/2026/11/03/colts-adetomiwa-adebawore-contract-extension/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Adetomiwa Adebawore gets an extension from the Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/adetomiwa-adebawore-gets-extension-colts-212146590.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Adetomiwa Adebawore isn't going anywhere.
