Colts’ Signings of Lou Anarumo’s Former Players Prompt ‘Cincinnati West’ Speculation
The Indianapolis Colts have signed former players coached by Lou Anarumo eight times, leading to speculation about Indianapolis becoming 'Cincinnati West'.
Indianapolis, IN, October 15, 2026 —
The Indianapolis Colts have signed former players coached by Lou Anarumo on eight occasions, a pattern that has prompted speculation about Indianapolis becoming “Cincinnati West.” The available information does not identify the players or provide details about the individual signings.
The phrase “Cincinnati West” is presented as speculation, not as an official description of the Colts’ approach. No comments from the team, Anarumo or the players were provided, and the information does not explain whether the signings were connected to a shared strategy or arose for other reasons.
Several details that would help put the figure in context are not available. The timeframe for the eight signings was not specified, nor was it stated whether the number refers to eight different players or eight transactions. The players’ positions, contract terms and roles with Indianapolis were also not provided.
Without those details, the reported count establishes a recurring link between the Colts’ signings and players previously coached by Anarumo, but it does not establish the significance of that pattern. The available information also does not describe how the players’ prior coaching relationships influenced the decisions to sign them.
For now, the “Cincinnati West” label remains speculation associated with the eight signings. Further information about the players, timing and circumstances of the moves would be needed to assess the scope of the trend; none of those specifics was included in the available summary.
