Gallimore will be entering his age 29 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Levi Onwuzurike, Taven Bryan, and Jonah Williams were used by Spotrac as comparisons to determine what Gallimore&#8217;s deal could be.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:4|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a>Prediction: Will the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/indianapolis-colts\/338\" data-autotag=\"d3fda36a-3eb5-4700-8763-caba831c06ae\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Colts<\/a> re-sign Neville Gallimore?<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Gallimore was signed last offseason to an inexpensive one-year deal to boost the defensive tackle depth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">With DeForest Buckner sidelined for much of the second half of the season, Gallimore &#8212; and others &#8212; took on a larger role. He finished the season recording 17 pressures, four sacks, and made 33 tackles in the run game, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> PFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">If Gallimore&#8217;s contract is in the ballpark that Spotrac is projecting, we can&#8217;t rule out his return to the Colts. It&#8217;s a short-term deal that doesn&#8217;t break the bank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">However, GM Chris Ballard said that he wanted to get younger and faster on defense this offseason. Re-signing Gallimore doesn&#8217;t accomplish that. The Colts should begin planning ahead and looking for some longer-term answers at this position group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Prediction: Colts do not re-sign Neville Gallimore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 15, 2026, 8:06 a.m. ET Indianapolis Colts\u00a0defensive tackle Neville Gallimore is set to be a free agent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":754300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,98100,95903,97764,99517,98246,95895,95899,95883,107979,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-754299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagdeforest-buckner","19":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","20":"tag-tagjonah-williams","21":"tag-taglevi-onwuzurike","22":"tag-tagneville-gallimore","23":"tag-tagnfl-hub","24":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-tagtaven-bryan","27":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116075932128457850","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=754299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/754300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=754299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=754299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=754299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
