Among the many free agency moves made, the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> re-signed several of their own free agents, including Cameron Mitchell, Laquon Treadwell, and Luke Tenuta.<\/p>\n

Over the Cap<\/a> now has the contract details for each of those players.<\/p>\n

CB Cameron Mitchell<\/p>\n

Mitchell signed a one-year deal with the Colts<\/a> worth $1.22 million. This includes a base salary of $1.145 million<\/a> — none of which is guaranteed. Mitchell earned a signing bonus of $25,000 and a roster bonus of $50,000 if on the team.<\/p>\n

Mitchell’s salary cap hit for the 2026 season is set to be $1.22 million.<\/p>\n
