Antoine Bethea was looking for a new contract. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he got it.
Colts S Antoine Bethea Gets Paid To The Tune Of $27 Million Over Four Years
Schefter reports the Colts and Bethea agreed on a four-year deal worth $27 million. The first two years of the deal will pay out $18 million.
This should please SB Nation’s Stampede Blue, who has been calling for a new deal for quite some time. Here’s what Stampede Blue had to say of a recent article about Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis’ holdouts:
I see no mention of Antoine Bethea, who is the only player on the roster with a legitimate reason to be pissed about his contract situation. Bethea is one of the best safeties in all of football, and the tender the Colts offered him is peanuts compared to what other top NFL safeties make.
This now (likely) means Bethea will participate in the rest of the Colts offseason as an official member of the team.
