Staying with Indy
Blackmon is slated to return to the Colts on a one-year deal, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
During the 2023 regular season Blackmon recorded 88 tackles, four interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 15 games with the Colts. Now that he's back with the team and presumably past a late-season shoulder issue, the 2020 third-rounder is poised to maintain his key role in Indy's secondary and occupy a starting safety slot in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bills could be good fit
Blackmon, who remains a free agent, could fit well in a revamped defensive backfield in Buffalo, Nick Shook of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon is still only 26, meaning he'd provide quite the infusion of youth for Buffalo's defense after the departure of veteran safety tandem Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Additionally, Blackmon recorded a career-high four interceptions while allowing a career-low 47.8 percent completion rate in primary coverage for the Colts in 2023, making him a potentially undervalued option.

2020
Blackmon, who had 50 tackles and an interception last season, has been adept as a tackler and has held his own in coverage but has had trouble staying on the field over the last two campaigns. The 2020 third-rounder was limited to six games in 2021 due to an Achilles injury and this past season he missed three games and parts of another due to an ankle injury. He'll reprise his role as a starting safety for the Colts in 2023.
