The Indianapolis Colts have signed defensive tackle Antwaun Woods of Los Angeles, California, according to Josh Alper of NBC Sports on Tuesday. The Colts become the third National Football League team Woods has played for as he previously played one season with the Tennessee Titans in 2016, and three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys from 2018 to 2020.
The financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. However, we do know the length of the contract is for one year.
Last season with the Cowboys, Woods had 23 combined tackles (16 assisted tackles and seven solo tackles), two quarterback hits, one tackle for a loss, and one sack in 14 games, of which seven were starts. In 40 games, Woods has 83 combined tackles (48 assisted tackles and 35 solo tackles), eight quarterback hits, four tackles for a loss, two fumble recoveries for three yards, two and a half sacks, and one pass deflection.
A product of the University of Southern California Trojans, Woods was undrafted. He played four seasons with the Trojans from 2012 to 2015, and had 111 tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, and two pass deflections, in 46 college games.
Currently at 6′ 1″, 310 pounds, Woods was waived by the Cowboys even though he was considered by many as an instrumental part of the Dallas defense last season. According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas News, Woods helped improve the Cowboys defense after being named as a starter midway through the year.
Woods was one of two free agent signings by the Colts this week. On Monday, they signed offensive tackle Eric Fisher from the Kansas City Chiefs.
