| 28th December, 2007 - 5:37 pm |  ESPN - Colts' safety Bob Sanders has signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with Indianapolis that includes $20 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL sources.
The contract makes Sanders, 26, the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
The Pro Bowl selection, whose playoff performance sparked the Colts on their run to a Super Bowl victory last season, would have been an unrestricted free agent after this season. Sanders is a strong contender for this year's NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors.
The Colts have doled out record contracts before to other top players. Before the start of training camp, Dwight Freeney signed a $72 million six-year deal, making him the league's highest-paid defensive end. The contract included a $30 million signing bonus. [READ] |
