Highlights of Colts free agent addition DE Arden Key

[ASFN Admin]

The Indianapolis Colts made an outside addition on the first day of the NFL's legal tampering period, reportedly signing now-former Titans' defensive end Arden Key.

The 2026 season will be Key's ninth in the NFL. He was a third-round pick by the Raiders in 2018 and has also played with San Francisco and Jacksonville. For his career, he has appeared in 116 games, making 46 starts.

During the most recent season, Key logged 33 pressures and ranked 77th in PFF's pass rush win rate metric and, for what it's worth, graded out well in run defense grade.

Key's production has been steady, with him recording between 33 and 40 pressures in each of the last three seasons. His most productive season came in 2022, when Key tallied 51 pressures.

At the defensive position, which is currently being reshaped this offseason by GM Chris Ballard, Key likely takes on a rotational role.

The Davis Mills sack that took the Texans out of FG range. 2man look that seems to stump Davis. I suspect he thought cov 2 and was waiting to hit the corner.

Ideally he recognizes sooner and steps up and takes off. Eresry sat down by Arden Key. pic.twitter.com/GhhhDmcBVY
