Great to see our defense pillars like Buckner and Moore getting paid. Rightfully deserved!

Pretty good deal. Still cheaper than Wilkins, Simmons, and still better atm too. Top DTs just cost this much, im glad we have one.

After Buck gets a sack, I can now continue tweeting, "HE DIDN'T SEE DEFOREST THROUGH DE TREES"

$46M is a lot of money for a DT.

Oh no! This is terrible news! All the casual Colts fans will be hollerin mad that Ballard is resigning our best instead of letting them walk and overpaying FAs from other teams! Sad day for the casual Colts fans!
