Key points
- Colts sign undrafted free agent West Weeks
- Weeks received $284,500 in guaranteed money
- This amount is the third-highest among UDFAs
- Logan Fano earned the most at $310,000 with the Browns
- Weeks could compete for a roster spot
The Indianapolis Colts have yet to confirm their undrafted free agent signings, but one of the reported post-draft additions received some of the most guaranteed money among all UDFAs.
According to Spotrac, Weeks earned $284,500 in guaranteed money to sign with the Colts. Out of all reported UDFA signings across the NFL at this point, that is the third-highest amount.
Utah edge rusher Logan Fano earned the most guaranteed money at $310,000. He signed with the Cleveland Browns.
Why West Weeks could push for roster spot with Colts
The 2025 season was Weeks' first as a starter. Playing 564 snaps, Weeks found success as a blizter, totaling 13 pressures with three sacks. He recorded 66 tackles, missing 11, and in coverage, held opponents to 9.1 yards per catch.
Weeks joins a position group for the Colts that is much better off after the draft, with the additions of CJ Allen and Bryce Boettcher to the linebacker room. But outside of those two, along with Akeem Davis-Giather, what the bottom half of the depth chart looks like remains an unknown.
Austin Ajiake and Jaylon Carlies are the likely front-runners for the fourth and fifth spots, but a strong training camp from Weeks, and he could very well put himself in the mix. This still remains a relatively inexperienced position group for Indianapolis.
Along with Weeks, fellow UDFA Mitchell Melton, an edge rusher from Virginia, received $130,000 in guaranteed money -- the second-most on the Colts.
