Grover Stewart remains with Indianapolis Colts after trade offer is pulled off the table

The Indianapolis Colts traded away four players over the past 10 days: guard Quenton Nelson, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, and wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs.

A few players, surprisingly to some, remain: running back Jonathan Taylor, quarterback Daniel Jones and defensive lineman Grover Stewart.

The 33-year-old, 10-year veteran is in the final year of a contract that counts $14.3 million toward the salary cap, according to Spotrac.

NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported that a team offered the Colts a fourth-round pick (later reported as the Green Bay Packers) for Stewart, but the offer was pulled as the Colts considered it.

Some Colts wonder how they failed to pull the trigger on that one.

Reaction to Indianapolis Colts not trading Grover Stewart

If this story and the Daniel Jones story are true, I don't know how we trust this @Colts organization any longer? We are going to be poverty forever keeping older rentals w/ huge contracts on a 2-7 team. I love Grover. But its the buisness. We are failing this trade deadline.… https://t.co/3zHqdFUbk8

Chris Ballard deserved to be fired but maybe they should have let him hang around until the end of the season

Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones, and Grover Stewart all still being on this roster is crazy https://t.co/zYNDPnyCB6

Unless the Colts plan on extending Grover Stewart, this is a really stupid move. https://t.co/wAouqlwNbc

What a waste of time.

I understand not moving JT.

Why in the hell are Grover Stewart and Daniel Jones still on this team? Neither of them are in the plans for a real chance to win in 2028.
