    Running back Dominic Rhodes has rejoined the Indianapolis Colts, signing a one-year deal with the team he helped lead to a Super Bowl championship.

    Rhodes, a free agent after being recently released by the Oakland Raiders, will receive approximately $650,000.


    Rhodes was an integral part of the Colts' drive to a win in Super Bowl XLI after the 2006 season. He worked in tandem with rookie Joseph Addai, starting all 16 regular-season games and then coming off the bench in the four postseason games.

    In the 29-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl, Rhodes rushed 21 times for 113 yards and one touchdown.

    Rhodes, 29, left the Colts as a free agent after the 2006 season and signed with the Raiders. He saw little playing time in Oakland in a crowded backfield, finishing with 75 carries for 302 yards and one touchdown.</div>

    Sort of eat your heart out Run BJM :-)/). Lol man.

    I love the pathetic price we got him for, thanks for the discount. First Mike Hart, now Dom. I don't know what the situation is with Kenton Keith, but I like Indy's depth.

    He'll hit the ground running for us (no pun intended) so I don't see any downside or anything to having him around

    Yeah, he'll make a solid backup for Indi; he already knows the scheme.

    Hart was a real nice pickup for you guys too. I know people were down on him after his 40 time, but I think he'll make a solid back. He can def. carry the load (not that he'll need to in Indy, mind you).


    I think Keith is on the outside looking in. Didn't he run into some trouble?

    Indeed he did, at a club (talking shit to Po-Po). He won't see much of the rotation at the start of the season, but if he had been a clean guy he could have seen some decent time later on given how many injury problems RB suffer. I think he might get cut just for annoying the Colts; only stars can get into that kind of trouble and get away with it.

    Rhodes was the odd man out in Oakland after drafting DMC. I wish him well, despite his parting shots.
