Center Ryan Kelly exited Indianapolis to sign a two-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings in free agency on Monday, according to multiple reports.
Kelly, 31, agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract that can become official on Wednesday, the first day of the 2025 league year.
Earlier in the day, reports surfaced cornerback Isaiah Rodgers is leaving the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles to sign a two-year, $15 million contract with the Vikings. Rodgers' deal includes a guaranteed $8 million, according to reports.
Kelly was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Colts. He missed a total of 10 games over the past two seasons due to injuries, leading Indianapolis to turn the job over to 2024 fourth-round pick Tanor Bortolini.
Rodgers, 27, finished his lone season in Philadelphia with 26 tackles, four passes defended and a forced fumble in 15 games (three starts).
Vikings No. 1 cornerback Byron Murphy is expected to explore free agency.
In four postseason games, he notched six tackles, four passes defended and a fumble recovery, which came in the NFC divisional-round win over the Los Angeles Rams.
A sixth-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 draft, Rodgers played three seasons with the Colts before sitting out the 2023 season for a violation of the NFL's gambling policy.
In 60 games (13) over four seasons, Rodgers has 116 tackles, three interceptions, 14 passes defended, two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
