Indianapolis signed another camp body, signing defensive tackle Chunky Clements. Clements was originally brought into the league in 2017 as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings. Then he was signed to Houston’s practice squad, and played for the Rams in preseason last year.
To make room for him, the Colts waived defensive tackle Jordan Thompson, whom they had signed earlier as an undrafted free agent. Thompson was unlikely to last on the roster after camp anyway. Neither, for that matter, is Clements. So what’s the point in signing either one of them?
There is value to singing guys this time of year who have no chance of making the active roster once the season starts.
