Colts Urged To Trade For $54 Million Pass Rusher

The Indianapolis Colts’ success this season has been one of the biggest stories of the 2025 NFL season. Indy is entering Week 7 with a 5-1 record and are looking like Super Bowl contenders.

The offense has done it’s part this season by averaging 32.3 points per game this season, which is the highest in the league. On the defensive side of the ball, the Colts D has allowed the fourth lowest amount in the league through six games so far this season.

Indianapolis has sacked opposing quarterbacks 16 this, which is in the top half of the league. Despite being one of the better defenses this season, one NFL writer believes the Colts could add another piece to their defense.


Trade For Dolphins Pass Rusher?

The Indianapolis Colts have their fair share of injuries, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but that isn’t slowing them down.

CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin believes the Colts should trade for Miami Dolphins’ pass rusher Bradley Chubb to help the team after its great start.

“Raise your hand if you expected Indianapolis to be 5-1 atop the AFC South after six games. And yes, Daniel Jones is still running the show on offense,” Benjamin wrote.

“Why not strike while the iron is hot if you’re Colts brass and go all in on a prospective postseason push, attempting a Von Miller-like rental with Chubb, who’s been one of the few bright spots on the Miami Dolphins’ defense this year? He’s approaching 30 with an injury history, but he’s got the sack artistry to further elevate a Colts team that keeps winning ballgames by controlling and running the ball with great efficiency.”

Chubb is off to a hot start for Miami through six weeks. The pass rushers’ four sacks this season currently lead the 1-5 Dolphins.

If the Colts were to add Chubb to their defense, it could see their D-line be among the best in the NFL.


What Bradley Chubb In Indy Means

The Indianapolis Colts currently have two defensive ends who are tied for the most sacks on the team, with three each. Adding Bradley Chubb’s four sacks would put him at the top of the edge rusher list.

If the Miami Dolphins were to trade away Chubb, they would at least want someone who can replace him for the remainder of the season.

The Dolphins could trade the two-time Pro Bowler, who will earn a high AAV the next two seasons, and trade for a Colts defensive first-round pick.

Colts EDGE rusher Laiatu Latu has not seen a major improvement from his rookie season to his second, as he has only logged 1 sack so far this season.

If Indy would rather have a player who can give an immediate impact instead of waiting for the development of a former first-round selection, then swapping Chubb with Latu makes sense.
