The Indianapolis Colts applied a tender on restricted free agent safety George Odum with the right of first refusal, first reported by Jim Ayello of The Indianapolis Star.
While it seemed for a moment that Odum would be testing free agency, the Colts applied a tender as expected. This is the lowest tender, though, of the three. Essentially, the Colts have the right to match any team that gives Odum an offer.
The tender is worth $2.1 million for the 2021 season. The Colts can still come to a contract extension agreement if they want to with Odum.
The former undrafted free agent has turned into a key cog on special teams for the Colts. He led the NFL in special teams stops for the 2020 season en route to an All-Pro selection for the first time in his career.
The Colts have two other restricted free agents in wide receiver Zach Pascal and tight end Mo Alie-Cox, both of which could be tendered before the new league year arrives on Wednesday.
