INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – No sooner
did the Indianapolis Colts delete one veteran cornerback from their roster than
they added another.
Xavier
Rhodes, a 2013 first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings, has agreed to a
one-year contract with the Colts, according to a source with knowledge of the
situation. His arrival was preceded by the release of Pierre Desir earlier this
week.
Rhodes
is a 6-1, 218-pounder whose resume with the Vikings includes three Pro Bowl
appearances and one first-team All-Pro selections. He earned his third Pro Bowl
appearance last season.
In seven seasons, Rhodes has 10 interceptions, 73 passes defensed, 15 tackles for loss and 372 tackles.
