Indianapolis Colts linebacker Tyjuan Hagler 

The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed starting linebacker Tyjuan Hagler to a one-year extension through 2008; the signing keeps Hagler off the restricted free agent list.  The deal is wqorth an estimated $1.417 million; without the signing, other teams could pursue Hagler and maybe sign him to an offer sheet, which would have forced the Colts to either match it or allow Hagler to depart.

Barring another extension, Hagler will become an unrestricted free agent in 2009.  Signing Hagler also ensured that the Colts retain their entire starting trio of linebackers from last season.
