Former NFL star Nasir Adderley, 28, unretires and signs for a new team after three years out of football

The NFL will welcome a familiar face back to the game in the 2026 season, with Nasir Adderley making a remarkable return to football at the age of 28.

Adderley retired at just 25 years old when his contract with the Los Angeles Chargers expired in 2023 after four seasons and 44 starts.

But now, the safety – who was a second-round draft pick by the organization – is back in the game, agreeing to terms with the Indianapolis Colts.

He is the third safety the Colts have signed in free agency, following Jonathan Owens – Simone Biles’s husband – and Juanyeh Thomas through the door. The team lost two players, Nick Cross and Rodney Thomas II, in that position in free agency back in March.
