Thomas played three years with the Cowboys and only started four games in that span.

I was shocked to see the Colts part ways with Nick Cross, especially after seeing what he signed for. I think the Colts like the safety class and believe they can replace him. But overall, it’s pretty shocking to see a player that they traded up for and developed, walk for pennies on the dollar.

That being said, I like the addition of Junayeah Thomas. It’s a great buy low option with some upside. I also think the Colts DB braintrust of Lou Anarumo, Chris Hewitt, and Jerome Henderson deserve some benefit of the doubt still.

This certainly feels like a player they believe they can develop and outplay his contract. Safety is a difficult position because you have limited touch points for the majority of them. One thing you can draw from Juanyeh Thomas' film is that he has some competitive toughness.
