Wahhhhhhhhhh!! I wasn’t happy when my Giants released Ahmad Bradshaw back in February, but I held out hope that somehow he’d be back. NOPE! It’s official, he just signed with the Colts.
Details after the jump…
Via ESPN:
The Indianapolis Colts and running back Ahmad Bradshaw agreed to one-year deal Tuesday.
Terms of the contract weren’t announced, but a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the deal pays him a $250,000 signing bonus and $1.1 million in base salary.
The former New York Giants star and unrestricted free agent visited the Colts’ team complex last Thursday and had been negotiating with the team since.
Adding the 27-year-old Bradshaw gives the Colts depth in the backfield, if not a starter.
The three top contenders for the starting job had been former first-round pick Donald Brown, who has been injury-prone; Vick Ballard, who impressed last season as a rookie; and third-year back Delone Carter, who has struggled with injuries and fumbles.
Indy currently has eight running backs on the roster, including seventh-round draft pick Kerwynn Williams and fullback Stanley Havili, who was acquired in a March trade with Philadelphia. Williams is listed at 5-foot-8, 195 pounds. But the other five backs have a combined total of six NFL carries, all by Havili last season.
