Colts Should Sign Germaine Pratt for Linebacker Depth

0:00On March 21st, the Indianapolis Colts still need more depth at linebacker, even after signing a Keem Davis-Gaether. One strong option right in front of them is Dermain Pratt, who wore their uniform last season and performed well. Pratt started his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, drafted 72nd overall in 2019. He spent years there under defensive coordinator Lu and Arumo, racking up solid numbers over 96 games. That connection followed him to Indy after quick stints elsewhere. Released by Cincinnati in June, he joined the Raiders briefly before the Colts claimed him in early October. In 12 games with them, he notched 101 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and key plays like an interception against Jacksonville. Fans and analysts see Pratt as a seamless fit in an Arumo scheme, especially after the trade of Zaire Franklin left a position thin. Beyond Bobby Ocariki, the roster lacks proven starters, making a veteran like the 29-year-old Pratt a cheap, smart target.

1:00With the draft approaching and other teams circling, the Colts face a clear choice to lock him down and build a defense that matches their offense.
