The Colts & All-Pro LB Darius Leonard agree to terms on a blockbuster 5-year, $99.25M contract extension to make him the highest paid ILB, sources say. He gets $20M per year over the 1st 3 years. The deal, done by Malki Kawa & Ethan Lock, includes $52.5M guaranteed.

Deal’s done. Colts have signed linebacker Darius Leonard to a massive five-year extension, source says, and as Rapoport first reported.

Colts have now gotten Braden Smith and Leonard extensions done before the season opener — always their goal.

Since entering the NFL in 2018, Colts LB Darius Leonard leads all inside linebackers in: tackles per game (9.9), TFL per game (1.0), sacks (15.0), forced fumbles (9) and is second in interceptions (7).

Arguably the best all around LB in football and now paid exactly as such.
