Farley officially signed his tender offer with Indianapolis on Monday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farley only suited up in five games in 2018, racking up 19 tackles (11 solo) and one interception. It should be noted that in 2017, however, the 26-year-old started 15 of 16 games, making 98 tackles (60 solo), two interceptions and a forced fumble. With Clayton Geathers resigning with the team, Farley could regain his familiar role providing depth in the Colts' secondary.

Farley (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farley left last Thursday's game against the Patriots and was unable to practice this week. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but with Clayton Geathers already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, the Colts were in dire need of help at safety. Veteran Mike Mitchell was signed this week to bolster their depth, while tight end Mo Alie-Cox takes his place on the 53-man roster.

Farley had three total tackles and played 23 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Farley got playing time in dime packages and also played 22 snaps on special teams. He could get more playing time as Indy's secondary figures to be in flux with man inexperienced players, but his role will be limited in the short term.

EDGE Analysis
Farley also added seven pass breakups and finished second on the team in total tackles. The 25-year-old put forth a productive sophomore season and will likely compete with Clayton Geathers for a starting role at safety for the Colts in 2018, opposite of Malik Hooker.
