Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) – The Indianapolis Colts have kept one of their defensive leaders in the fold, agreeing to terms with safety Mike Adams on a contract extension moments before he was set to hit free agency.<\/p>\n
The Indianapolis Star reported the deal to be for two years.<\/p>\n
Indianapolis also re-signed special teams ace Colt Anderson prior to Tuesday’s start of the new league year.<\/p>\n
Adams earned his first career Pro Bowl nod while playing on a one-year contract with the Colts last season. The 33-year-old set a career best with five interceptions while amassing 93 tackles, 11 passes defensed and two forced fumbles and starting each of the team’s 19 games (including playoffs).<\/p>\n
The 11-year-veteran had spent the previous two seasons with Denver and was a member of the Broncos’ 2013 AFC champion team. Adams has been durable as well, having missed just one game over the past six seasons.<\/p>\n
For his career, Adams has registered 581 tackles, 18 interceptions, six forced fumbles and five sacks with San Francisco, Cleveland, Denver and the Colts.<\/p>\n
Anderson led the Colts with 15 special teams tackles in 2014 and added three more during the postseason. The five-year pro signed a one-year contract with Indianapolis last April after previously playing for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
