The Colts were armed with plenty of cap space and draft picks entering the offseason but refused to spend big in free agency. Mike Florio and Chris Simms explain why Indy is now the favorites in the AFC South.

The Colts announced Tuesday they have signed long snapper Luke Rhodes to a contract extension.

Rhodes had signed his exclusive rights tender March 19.

Rhodes entered the NFL as a linebacker and converted to long snapper in 2017. He’s played 36 total games for the Colts since signing Oct. 5, 2016, as a free agent and has made four special teams tackles.

Rhodes is the snapper for kicker Adam Vinatieri, who became the NFL’s all-time leader in points scored and field goals made in 2018.

The Colts’ special teams unit ranked first in the NFL in punt return average allowed (4.4 avg.) last season.
