The Indianapolis Colts locked up another core special teams player, as the team announced that it signed long snapper Luke Rhodes to an extension—which effectively makes him the highest paid player at his position in all of football:
The #Colts signed Luke Rhodes to a four-year, $4.85 million contract extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid long snapper, source said. He gets $1.25 million guaranteed. Nice payday for onetime undrafted rookie.
