Report: Colts re-sign TE Mo Alie-Cox to one-year deal

The Colts are bringing back a familiar face in tight end Mo Alie-Cox.

The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed tight end Mo Alie-Cox, the team announced Friday morning.

Alie-Cox is being brought back on a one-year deal, according to The Athletic’s James Boyd.

While his production as a pass-catcher has dipped considerably in recent seasons, with only 25 receptions for 308 yards and four touchdowns over the last two combined, there’s no doubting what Alie-Cox brings as a blocker for a Colts offense that features two of the NFL’s more dynamic players at their respective positions in quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor.

The veteran tight end originally signed with the Colts back in 2017 as an undrafted free-agent. Since then, Alie-Cox has spent the last seven years in Indianapolis and hasn’t missed a single game in each of the last four seasons.

Now, the Colts are bringing back Alie-Cox for an eighth season, adding to a tight end room that consists of Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory, Jelani Woods, Albert Okwuegbunam and Sean McKeon. Make no mistake, though, the return of Alie-Cox should in no way impact how the Colts view their tight end room for the 2025 season and beyond.

The need for a more explosive, playmaking threat at tight end should remain a top priority to address in the upcoming NFL Draft. Penn State’s Tyler Warren and Michigan’s Colston Loveland are names that have come up as potential selections for the Colts in mock drafts at pick No. 14.
