Overview
- Sources reported that an NFL team offered a fourth‑round pick plus a late pick for defensive tackle Grover Stewart but withdrew the bid when the Colts did not accept it.
- Stewart remains on Indianapolis’s roster and will become an unrestricted free agent in March if the team does not re-sign him.
- The move closes the Nov. 10 trade window without Stewart being moved and follows a broader Colts roster teardown that produced mainly mid‑round picks for veterans on expiring contracts.
- Front‑office upheaval and a short evaluation window under interim control contributed to the Colts’ slow response and helped prompt other teams to pull offers at the deadline.
- If Stewart signs elsewhere in free agency the Colts could later receive a compensatory pick, a calculation the incoming general manager will weigh along with the team’s limited 2027 first‑round flexibility.
