The Colts converted $5 million of Buckner's salary for 2023 into a signing bonus, a move that cleared $2.5 million in cap space for the team, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Buckner will still earn $19.75 million in 2023 while he returns for his fourth season with the Colts. The defensive tackle recorded a career-high 74 tackles in 2022 while also compiling eight sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 games.
