While speculation arose about a potential signing with the Saints, Hunt's decision to engage with the Colts showcases his openness to considering different avenues for his future.

The Colts, who recently acquired veteran Kenyan Drake, are actively seeking additional running back depth due to a combination of factors.

Jonathan Taylor's injury situation and uncertain status, coupled with Zack Moss's sidelined position due to a fractured arm, have created a need for reliable options in their running back roster.

Hunt's potential addition to the Colts could prove significant, especially in scenarios where Taylor's availability might be compromised by trade discussions or early-season challenges.
