Tyler Warren, Colts Reportedly Agree to $21M Rookie Contract After 2025 NFL Draft

Tyler Warren is officially on the Indianapolis Colts' payroll.

Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported that the tight end had agreed to his rookie contract with the team. Warren's deal is worth $20.9 million guaranteed and features an $11.88 million signing bonus.

Warren was selected 14th overall in the 2025 NFL draft. He was the second tight end off the board behind Colston Loveland and should immediately assume a major role in the Colts' offense.

Warren was ranked as the No. 15 overall player and the No. 2 tight end in the draft class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. The 22-year-old played four seasons at Penn State and had 104 catches for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns for the Nittany Lions in the 2024 season.

He joins a Colts team that went 8-9 in 2024 and missed the postseason for the fourth consecutive year.

Indianapolis did not get major contributions from tight ends in the passing game in 2024. Kylen Granson led all Colts tight ends with 14 catches for 182 yards.

Whether Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones is under center in Week 1, Warren should be among the team's top targets from the jump alongside Michael Pittman Jr.
