Defensive end Kwity Paye recently had his fifth-year option picked up by the Indianapolis Colts. Paye’s reliability and consistent progression during his first three seasons in the NFL proved why Chris Ballard and Co. weren’t willing to risk losing him despite the Colts employing one of the deepest defensive fronts in the entire league.
As alluded to, many believed the writing was on the wall for Kwity Paye once Indy elected to use its first draft selection in 2024, number 15th overall, on a player at his position. Once Paye’s fifth-year option was picked up, a collective confusion from the fanbase ensued.
