The Indianapolis Colts agreed to terms on a one-year deal with wide receiver T.Y. Hilton on Wednesday, meaning the Ghost will be back wearing the horseshoe for at least one more season.
While the full details of the contract have yet to be revealed we do know some of the numbers pertaining to his deal. It’s a one-year deal worth $10 million with $8 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

This is a solid deal for both sides. The Colts keep a solid WR2 with the versatility to work on the boundary or in the slot. With Michael Pittman Jr. expected to make the jump as the alpha in the wide receiver room, Hilton will be a strong complement while also giving new quarterback Carson Wentz a reliable target all over the field.
What Hilton plans to do after the 2021 season isn’t clear. He has said that a multi-year deal would be it for him in terms of a career. Whether this one-year deal pushes back those plans remains to be seen.
But the Colts needed to get some stability in the room for Hilton and now they have a veteran leader geared up for the 2021 season.
