Overview

  • The four-year contract carries a $100 million value and $60 million in guarantees, averaging $25 million per season.
  • The deal positions Raimann among the top five paid left tackles in the league, tied for fourth in average annual value.
  • Raimann has started 40 of 45 games since being drafted 77th overall in 2022 and has posted Pro Football Focus grades rising from 73.3 in his rookie season to 85.1 in 2024.
  • The extension secures Indianapolis’s blindside protection as the Colts weigh the quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
  • The pact caps Raimann’s rapid rise from a converted tight end to a cornerstone blocker and fills a key hole after the offseason departures of four veteran linemen.
