The Indianapolis Colts are re-signing wide receiver T.Y. Hilton to a one-year deal, first reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN.
From the start of the offseason, both the Colts and Hilton expressed their desire to come together on a contract. Though Indy let the veteran test the market to see his worth, the Ghost winds up back in the horseshoe to close out his career.
Despite a quiet free agency, this is a big a move for the offense. With new quarterback Carson Wentz under center, he will need all the help he can get. Hilton provides a reliable target for Wentz to work with early in his tenure with the Colts.
Hilton had a bit of a down year statistically in 2020 despite Philip Rivers’ strong campaign. He took a reduced role without saying a word and it led to him recording 56 receptions for 762 yards and five touchdowns.
Hilton re-joins a wide receiver room comprised of Michael Pittman Jr., Zach Pascal and Parris Campbell.
