Rhodes Back Where He Started – With the Colts
After losing him last offseason to free agency, the Colts have brought back running back Dominic Rhodes to the team. Rhodes signed a one-year deal worth $650,000 according to the Indianapolis Star. The back was released by the Raiders just after the draft in an expected move. The 29-year-old ran for over 100 yards in the Colts Super Bowl win over the Bears two years ago, and worked well with then rookie Joseph Addai. Rhodes that season started all 16 games, but came off the bench for the four postseason games before being the star of the Super Bowl win.
With the Raiders, Rhodes was a big letdown, playing in just 10 games and rushing 75 times for 302 yards and one touchdown. In seven NFL seasons, Rhodes has run for 2,567 yards with 20 touchdowns and 101 catches for 719 yards and one TD.
