The Colts are in line to sign Bynum to a four-year, $60 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Bynum started all 17 games for Minnesota in each of the last three seasons, wrapping 2024 with 96 tackles (54 solo), 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, plus two fumble recoveries. He's primed to handle a similar starting role with Indianapolis, joining Nick Cross to form what looks like a formidable tandem at safety.
Bynum finished the 2024 season with 96 tackles (54 solo), 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season contests. Bynum started all 17 games for the third straight season and set new career highs in pass breakups and interceptions while falling four tackles short of his second consecutive 100-tackle campaign. Known just as much for his well-choreographed celebrations following big plays, Bynum's strong numbers and week-to-week dependability on the back end of the defense should land him a big pay day this spring, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent.
Bynum logged four tackles (one solo) and a fumble recovery during the Vikings' 27-25 win over the Packers on Sunday. Bynum jumped on a ball that was forced out of the hands of Josh Jacobs by Jerry Tillery, though the Vikings weren't able to capitalize on the turnover on their next offensive drive. Bynum is now up to 89 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass defenses (including three interceptions) and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games. He has an outside chance of reaching the tackling-century mark for a second consecutive year in the Vikings' regular-season finale against the Lions next Sunday.
Bynum registered seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 42-21 win over Atlanta. Bynum co-led the Vikings in tackles Sunday with Blake Cashman and Josh Metellus. Bynum has played every single defensive snap in consecutive games, and in the eight regular-season games since the Vikings' Week 7 bye, he's accumulated 44 tackles (21 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception).
Bynum recorded three total tackles (one solo) and one interception in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. Bynum had a crucial interception in the Vikings' Week 10 win, picking off Mac Jones in the fourth quarter as the Jaguars appeared to be mounting a game-winning drive. The fourth-year pro has now started all nine of the Vikings' games this season, recording 51 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions. He's expected to continue making plays as the Vikings travel to Tennessee in Week 12.
Bynum recorded six total tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans. The fourth-year pro was one of two Vikings to intercept C.J. Stroud during Sunday's blowout win, picking off a deep shot to Nico Collins in the fourth quarter. Bynum has recorded just 18 total tackles across the Vikings' first three contests this season, but that output is expected to increase after he posted 137 total tackles in 2023. Expect Bynum to continue making plays for a red-hot Vikings defense as the team travels to Green Bay in Week 4.
