WESTFIELD, Ind. -- The Indianapolis Colts have signed right tackle Braden Smith to a four-year, $72.4 million contract extension, with $42 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
"We want to take care of our players," general manager Chris Ballard said earlier this week.
Smith, a second-round pick in 2018, spent the majority of his college career at Auburn playing guard. But the Colts developed him into a right tackle after selecting him and he became the full-time starter at the position early in his rookie season. He's helped the Colts have one of the top offensive lines in the NFL playing alongside center Ryan Kelly and guards Mark Glowinski and Quenton Nelson.
