Concurring to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Cincinnati Bengals are signing Indianapolis Colts free operator running back Zack Moss to a 2-year, $8 million bargain:
With Jonathan Taylor lost amplified time, the previous 2020 third circular choose of the Buffalo Bills had a breakout year in Indianapolis, setting career highs in carries (183), hurrying yards (794), and surging touchdowns (5) amid 14 diversions (5 begins) in 2023.
Whereas he wasn’t fundamentally the foremost dangerous rusher, Greenery appeared extraordinary persistence, control, and was able to pound out extreme yards for the Colts this past season—looking exceptionally comfortable in modern head coach Shane Steichen’s surging plot.
The Colts reportedly had intrigued beginning in re-signing him, but Greenery didn’t need his reasonable share of suitors—before eventually marking with Cincinnati.
He probably will have a much superior chance of playing time with the Bengals, who have allegedly discharged ingenious running back Joe Mixon. Moss ventures to compete with 2nd-year running back Chase Brown because it stands for their essential backfield reps.
In Indianapolis, he would’ve been solidly cemented behind star workhorse Jonathan Taylor on the profundity chart, had he remained—as more of a change-of-pace off the seat back.
Without Greenery, the Colts may be looking to support their claim backfield profundity, as Evan Body is coming off a season-ending meniscus damage and Trey Sermon could be a confined free specialist. Tyler Goodson was marked to a contract expansion but is more of a third down back.
One free operator title that may be curiously is previous Colts running back Nyheim Hines, who was as of late discharged by the Bills—and maybe a gathering is conceivable.
