The Indianapolis Colts are making moves—and getting their future stars locked in. As the team gears up for rookie minicamp, they've officially signed six members of their 2026 NFL draft class, leaving just two picks still waiting to put pen to paper.

Those two unsigned players? Offensive lineman Jalen Farmer and linebacker Bryce Boettcher, both selected in the fourth round. While it might raise an eyebrow or two, there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. The sticking point, as is often the case with rookie contracts, likely comes down to guarantees. In the NFL, the base salary for draft picks is largely set by the collective bargaining agreement, but the guaranteed money is where negotiations can get a little tricky.

For context, Farmer was taken at No. 113 overall, while Boettcher went at No. 135. In the world of rookie deals, it's common for players selected just ahead of them to sign first, setting a benchmark for the guarantees that follow. Think of it as a domino effect—once the first few fourth-rounders put their names on the dotted line, it usually clears the path for the rest.

So, Colts fans, rest easy. Both Farmer and Boettcher will be in the fold soon enough, ready to compete for roster spots and contribute to a team that's building for the future. In the meantime, it's a great reminder that every draft pick represents a new chapter—and a fresh opportunity to rep your team's colors.
