Colts' Darius Butler: Re-signing with Colts

Butler (head) is re-signing with the Colts on a one-year deal, ESPN.com's Mike Wells reports.

Analysis:

A cornerback throughout his career, Butler spent much of last season at safety, which could be his primary home in 2017. The Colts don't have a clear starting safety alongside Clayton Geathers (neck), who may even get some playing time as a linebacker in sub packages. While the team also appears less than stellar at cornerback, Butler would fill a bigger need at safety.
