The Colts have agreed to a contract extension with defensive tackle DeForest Buckner according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It is a two-year extension worth $46 million and commits Buckner to Indy through the 2026 season.  Buckner had been slated to earn a $20.25 million base salary and have a cap hit of $22.75 million this year, but the new deal likely reduces his base salary and cap hit while giving him a significant signing bonus that will count toward future years’ salary caps.

The 30-year-old Buckner was taken by the 49ers with the seventh overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. After four years in San Francisco he was traded to the Colts for a first-round pick and signed a contract extension that added four more years to the year he had remaining on his rookie deal. He has now played four of those five years and is again signing an extension with one year left on his deal.

Buckner played 72 percent of the Colts’ defensive snaps last season, recorded eight sacks, and was chosen to his third Pro Bowl.
