DE Robert Mathis signed a four-year contract with Indianapolis Colts for $36 million and a $15 million signing bonus. 

Indianapolis placed the franchise tag on Mathis when they could not agree on a deal by Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. But the tag was lifted when the terms were finalized.

Mathis was named Pro Bowl for the fourth time in career and earned AFC Player of the Week award when he recorded 2.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery against Houston in Week 16.

In the span of his career, Mathis has totaled 334 tackles, 83.5 sacks, 39 forced fumbles, and 14 fumble recoveries.
