The Indianapolis Colts announced on Friday that the team has re-signed veteran ‘safety’ Darius Butler on a deal that is reportedly for 1-year and worth up to $4.5 million with incentives (per ESPN’s Adam Schefter):
It comes just a day after the Colts were said to have ‘wanted Butler back‘.
The soon-to-be 31 year old defensive back is fresh off a productive season with the Colts, having recorded 33 tackles, a forced fumble, and 3 interceptions in 12 games (7 starts).
Butler played situationally as both the Colts slot cornerback, as well as at safety this past season and was highly effective at both positions.
