Colts and three-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner reached agreement today on a two-year, $46 million contract extension that ties him to Indianapolis through the 2026 season, per sources.

Colts traded the No. 13 overall pick to the 49ers in 2020 for Buckner, quickly signed him to a 4-year, $84M extension, and now, award him with another big deal.

That’s awesome. Defo is as good as they come and a consummate professional to boot.

I hope he retires here.

I have read a number of articles about the extension and no one is saying that he got a signing bonus with it.

If so, then the extensions are salary obligations only for 2025 and 2026 with no cap hit ramifications for 2024.

Good to hear. Well deserved by Defo!

OverTheCap has the contract details on their website.

A few highlights:

18M signing bonus prorated over 5 years (including 2 void years at the end of contract)

Nearly the entire contract is guaranteed at signing - $43.25M of the $46M will be guaranteed

2024 Cap number has been lowered to $8.35M
