The Indianapolis Colts officially announced that offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann had been signed to a contract extension, which included a message from general manager Chris Ballard on the move.

"Bernhard has worked extremely hard, and this contract extension is a testament to his character, dedication and persistence," general manager Chris Ballard said via Colts.com. "He exemplifies each of our team's four pillars and is a leader in our locker room. I'm excited for him and his family on this well-deserved contract extension."

According to reports, Raimann's extension is for four years and worth $1000 million, which includes $60 million guaranteed.

Whether it be by average annual value, total value, or guaranteed dollars, Raimann is now one of the highest-paid offensive tackles in the NFL.

Prior to the extension, Raimann was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. After a breakout year in 2023, he built upon that performance in 2024, ranking 24th in pass blocking efficiency and 12th in PFF's run-blocking grade.
