The Las Vegas Raiders are signing Indianapolis Colts pass-rusher Kwity Paye to a new contract, per The Insiders. The deal is reportedly worth $16 million per year as the defender makes the move to the AFC West.
Paye, who was originally drafted by the Colts in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a consistent presence on the edge in Indianapolis. The 25-year-old recorded 8.5 sacks during the 2023 season, a career high, and has totaled 18.5 sacks over his first three professional seasons. This signing represents a major addition to the Raiders defensive line alongside Maxx Crosby.
The move comes as the Raiders continue to prioritize their defensive front under the current regime. By securing Paye at a $16 million annual average, Las Vegas is banking on the young edge rusher to continue his upward trajectory. Further details regarding the total length of the contract and guaranteed money have not yet been disclosed.
