The Indianapolis Colts still have a few voids to fill before the start of the 2019 NFL season. It seems they could be looking to beef up the secondary with the addition of free safety Darian Stewart.
Stewart was released by the Denver Broncos early in the offseason. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Colts brought him in for a workout.
Free agent S Darian Stewart, a former Pro Bowler, visited the Colts earlier in the week, source said. We’ll see if it turns into a contract, but Indy clearly still looking for back-end help.
Indianapolis endured their fair share of injuries over the top last season. Although they still enjoyed a bit of a resurgence in 2018, it is clear that expectations are now higher than ever moving forward. Stewart would undoubtedly make a welcome addition to a defense looking to take it to the next level in 2019.
Stewart began his career as an undrafted free agent with the St. Louis Rams. He struggled to find his footing in the NFL until he joined a revamped Broncos team in 2015. He won a Super Bowl with Denver that same year and was voted to his first career Pro Bowl the following season. The Colts' defense managed to establish itself as one of the most formidable, young groups in the league. The veteran's experience would certainly help stabilize things over the top. Regardless, the safety market experienced a bit of an uptick this offseason and it will only be a matter of time before Stewart finds a home.
