INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have made their first move to address the biggest hole on the roster.
Indianapolis has agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth up to $20 million with former Titans defensive end Arden Key, a league source confirmed to IndyStar, making Key the first outside signing of a busy free agency.
Key, who turns 30 in May, is likely more of a rotational edge rusher than a bona fide starter for a Colts team that will likely lose close to 1,500 snaps at the position with the potential departures of Kwity Paye, Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis.
The veteran has spent the past three seasons as a starter in Tennessee, recording 16.5 sacks and 38 quarterback hits. Injuries limited his playing time last season. Key played more than 700 snaps in each of his first two seasons with the Titans, but he missed four games with a quadriceps injury early and missed the final game of the season due to a hip injury, limiting him to 449 snaps, four sacks and 11 quarterback hits.
