INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Darius Leonard always believed he was the best linebacker in football. It tops the five-year, $95.225 million contract Fred Warner recently signed with San Francisco, making Leonard the NFL’s highest-paid linebacker — at least for now. “I’m a competitor, so if you aren’t first, you’re last,“” Leonard said while wearing a Colts cowboy hat. The Colts signed right tackle Braden Smith to a four-year, $72.4 million deal in late July. In 2020, Leonard started 14 games and had 132 tackles, seven tackles for loss and three sacks.
