Colts Sign 8 Players To Futures Deals Including TE Mo Alie-Cox & OLB Josh Perry

The Indianapolis Colts on Monday announced that they’ve signed eight players to future/reserve contracts for the 2018 season.

The full list includes:

1. TE Mo Alie-Cox
2. WR Dres Anderson
3. DT Johnathan Calvin
4. WR Kolby Listenbee
5. OLB Arthur Miley
6. OLB Josh Perry
7. QB Phillip Walker
8. G Isaiah Williams

Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will give players the opportunity to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.

Alie-Cox, 24, is making the transition to football as a tight end, but was not draft eligible this year, which allowed him to sign on with a team of his choosing. He drew interest from several teams before eventually agreeing to a contract with the Colts back in April.

The Colts waived him with an injury designation during the preseason and later cut him loose with an injury settlement before re-signing him to their practice squad.

During his four-year career at VCU, Alie-Cox totaled 1,092 points, 633 rebounds, 112 assists, 88 steals and 255 blocks over the course of 142 games.

Perry, 23, is a former fourth-round pick of the Chargers back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $2.95 million contract with the Chargers and stands to make base salaries of $540,000 and $630,000 over the next two years of the contract.

The Chargers waived Perry with an injury designation coming out of the preseason and he later reverted to their injured reserve list. Los Angeles cut him loose soon after.

Perry was on and off of the Colts’ practice squad this season.

In 2017, Perry has appeared in two games but has yet to record a statistic.
