Mo Alie-Cox: Everything you need to know

Alie-Cox is re-signing with the Colts on a one-year contract, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Alie-Cox has spent the first eight campaigns of his career in Indianapolis and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2020. While he hasn't topped 189 regular-season receiving yards since 2021, the veteran tight end has been useful in the red zone, with 12 of his 81 catches going for touchdowns over the past five campaigns. Tyler Warren is firmly established as Indianapolis' long-term starter at the position, but Alie-Cox's return gives the Colts veteran leadership and elite run blocking at tight end.

Alie-Cox secured three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to Houston. Alie-Cox didn't log a single appearance with more than one catch across the first 14 games of the 2025 campaign, but he compiled two, three and three catches in Indianapolis' final three contests, with one touchdown in that span. He wraps the season with a 13-117-1 receiving line on 20 targets, while having suited up for all 17 regular-season games and handling a depth role behind rookie standout Tyler Warren. Alie-Cox, who has spent all eight seasons of his NFL career so far with the Colts, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Alie-Cox caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars. Through the Colts' first 14 games this season, Alie-Cox had caught just five of 11 targets for 59 yards. However, in the team's last two games, the VCU product has secured all five of his targets for 36 yards and a touchdown, suggesting his role in Indianapolis' offense may be expanding. He's expected to operate as the Colts' No. 2 tight end in the Week 18 matchup against the Texans.
