Report: Colts' free agent and long-time starter visiting with Carolina Panthers

Indianapolis Colts' free agent safety Julian Blackmon is visiting with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport.

Still only 26 years old, Blackmon has been a key figure on the back end of the Colts' defense for several seasons now.

After putting together a career year in 2023 at strong safety, Blackmon tested the free agent market last offseason before returning to the Colts on a one-year deal for the 2024 season.

While he again began the year at strong safety, a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 1 forced him to move back to the free safety role.
