This is a depth signing for the Colts even though it was their first big one of the offseason. Rochell will be working behind Kemoko Turay and Ben Banogu while Tyquan Lewis could see time on the edge as well. If the Colts draft an edge prospect, Rochell will be battling for one of the final spots in the room.
The Colts also re-signed cornerback Xavier Rhodes to a one-year deal on Saturday evening.
