The Indianapolis Colts have made a strategic move by re-signing tight end Mo Alie-Cox, solidifying their depth at a critical position. Entering his ninth season with the team, Alie-Cox has primarily served as a blocker, ranking 15th out of 80 eligible tight ends in run-blocking grade last season according to PFF. His proficiency in blocking is essential for the Colts' new offensive scheme under Shane Steichen.
Despite his limited production in the passing game, with only 25 catches for 308 yards and four touchdowns over the past two seasons, the Colts remain focused on enhancing their tight end presence, particularly in the passing game. Alie-Cox’s return adds stability as the team prepares for the upcoming draft, where they will likely seek additional talent to complement their tight end position.
