The Colts and star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner agreed Monday on a two-year, $46 million contract extension that ties him to Indianapolis through the 2026 season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The extension is the fifth-richest in the NFL for a defensive tackle in terms of average annual value, after Kansas City's Chris Jones ($31.75 million), Las Vegas' Christian Wilkins ($27.5 million), Baltimore's Justin Madubuike ($24.5 million) and Carolina's Derrick Brown ($24 million).

Buckner had one year remaining on the four-year, $84 million deal he signed in 2020 with the Colts, who acquired the three-time Pro Bowler in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
