Colts Re-Sign Laquon Treadwell to a One-Year Deal

Friday, March 13, 3:17 PM

The Indianapolis Colts re-signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, league sources told James Boyd of The Athletic. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2016 will now enter his third year with the Colts and his 11th season overall in the NFL. Boyd writes that Treadwell is a "solid special-teamer with no ego." The 30-year-old veteran out of Mississippi is unlikely to be a factor on offense for the Colts in 2026 as primarily a special teams asset. Treadwell has caught just one pass since the start of the 2023 season and has 111 receptions for 1,242 yards and five touchdowns in 93 games (24 starts) over his 10 years in the league. In the 10 games he appeared in, Treadwell didn't have a single target last year. He'll provide depth at the WR position behind Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Ashton Dulin.

Jared Wayne News

Jared Wayne Earning Time with the Texans' Starters

Friday, August 21, 9:12 AM

Houston Texans side receiver Jared Wayne could be part of the team's plan to fill in for some of the production lost when Jayden Higgins (knee) went down for the season earlier this week. Wayne has had a very strong training camp and caught the team's only touchdown in the first preseason game. On Thursday, in the second preseason game, Wayne played in the first series of the game with starting QB C.J. Stroud, and he picked up a key 12-yard reception that converted a third down and kept the drive alive. Wayne finished with just two catches for 13 yards, but his involvement with the starters could indicate the team has bigger plans for him once the season starts. At the very least, he looks in line to make his first NFL roster after spending last year on the practice squad. He could open the season as the team's WR2 across from Nico Collins, at least until Tank Dell (knee) is ready for action.
