After a strong bounce-back season in 2020, Xavier Rhodes is returning to the Colts. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Indianapolis is signing him to a one-year deal. The terms of the contract were not immediately available.
Rhodes played well for the Colts last season after signing a one-year deal with Indianapolis. He started all 16 games, recording 12 pass breakups, two interceptions (one pick-six) and 42 total tackles.
According to Pro Football Focus, Rhodes earned an overall grade of 77.3 last season, which was good for eighth-best of any cornerback.
Though he did give up five touchdown passes, he only allowed a completion rate of 51.9% in coverage, giving up just 42 completions on 81 targets. Rhodes will remain a starter at cornerback, bringing some stability to the secondary.
