Cut by Colts
The Colts cut Adderley on Thursday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2019 second-round pick, Adderley played four seasons with the Chargers and suited up in 50 games (44 starts), recording 232 tackles (168 solo), 12 pass breakups and three interceptions. He chose to retire in 2023, citing a desire to preserve his health and spend time with loved ones. However, he began a comeback attempt in April when he signed with the Colts, but that was cut short before OTAs began.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Adderly is on track to pick up right where he left off as the starting free safety for the Chargers in 2021. The former second-round pick was sidelined for two games with hip and ankle injuries, but ultimately finished the year with career-highs in tackles (99) and passes defensed (five). The Chargers did draft JT Woods in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft to replace Adderley who enters 2022 on the final year of his rookie deal, but the starting free safety is still expected to be a core piece of the secondary led by fellow safety Derwin James.

However, Adderley added he hadn't realized how much he'd miss football, leading to his decision to return.
