The Indianapolis Colts are busy shaking things up in their wide receiver room right now. On Saturday afternoon, while the New Orleans Saints were on the field duking it out with the Jacksonville Jaguars in a preseason game, the Colts were bringing in three free agent wideouts for tryouts. ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped the news, and it’s got some wild connections to the Saints, their division rival.
Saints Connections Running Deep
Two of the players trying out have serious Saints history. First up, we’ve got Equanimeous St. Brown. He actually signed with the Saints in 2024 and spent some time on their practice squad. Remember that? He’s also notable for being the first player to ever wear Michael Thomas’s famous No. 13 jersey. And get this, he apparently got “dunked on” by Tyler Shough on his own podcast! That’s a wild detail, right? Then there’s Tre’Quan Smith, who was the Saints’ third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. This guy is famous for catching a record-breaking touchdown pass from Drew Brees during his rookie year. That’s some serious football pedigree on display.
Another Experienced Wideout in the Mix
But wait, there’s a third receiver the Colts are checking out. They also brought in Josh Reynolds for a tryout. Reynolds is a former Los Angeles Rams draft pick, so he’s got solid NFL experience too. It’s super clear the Colts are serious about trying to boost their receiving corps.
So, the biggest question now is, will any of these guys actually stick? We’ve got to wonder if Reynolds, Smith, or St. Brown will end up catching passes for Indy soon. This is a huge opportunity for their careers, and it shows the Colts aren’t messing around as they look to define their roster.
