The Indianapolis Colts acquired All-Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the San Francisco 49ers on Monday in exchange for a first-round pick (13th overall) on Monday, according to sources. Buckner has already agreed to a big contract with the Colts that will pay him $21 million a season, which makes him the second highest paid defensive tackle in NFL history behind the Rams' Aaron Donald. San Fran's defense is already pretty strong, but losing Buckner is a notable loss. Turning 26 on Tuesday, Buckner had 7.5 sacks, 62 tackles (34 solo), two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and a touchdown in 2019. He'll help to drastically improve Indy's mediocre all-around defense in 2020 and beyond.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
