Jake Scott, Veteran Offensive Guard Re-Signs With Colts.





Jake Scott has been one of the Colts’ most consistent and productive offensive players the past three seasons.
This week, the Colts and Scott took a step to ensure that will continue.

Scott, a fourth-year veteran offensive guard who became a restricted free agent following this past season, has re-signed with the Colts, the club announced Friday.

Duration and terms were not disclosed.

Scott, a fifth-round selection in the 2004 NFL Draft from the University of Idaho, started nine of 12 games as a rookie, and has played in the Colts’ last 44 regular-season games, including the last 39 as a starter.

Scott was one of three Colts offensive linemen to start all 16 games last season, with the others being Pro Bowl left tackle Tarik Glenn and Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday. Scott also started 16 games in 2005 and the last seven in 2004, helping the Colts produce at least 5,000 yards total offense in each of those three seasons.

The Colts also have allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL each of the last seasons.

Scott also started all four postseason games last season, a span during which the Colts out-rushed each of their opponents en route to a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI.
