One of the longest tenured Colts, Rhodes has been with the team since 2016 after signing to their 53-man roster from the practice squad and has held an important role for Indianapolis over the past seven seasons.
Rhodes’ contract extension makes him the highest-paid long snapper in NFL history again, according to his agent Evan Brennan.

Rhodes has appeared in 101 games since 2016, per the team. He was named first-team All-Pro in 2021, earning a Pro Bowl nod while also being named second-team All-Pro in 2020.
The Pro Bowl long snapper has certainly been one of the best players at his position for some time, and now Rhodes is under contract with the Colts through the 2027 season.
