INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indianapolis Colts have signed third-round draft pick Tarell Basham, an outside linebacker from Ohio University.

Terms of the deal were not released Friday, though draft picks normally sign three-year deals.

The 6-foot-4, 262-pound Basham is the last of Indy’s eight draft picks to sign. He was selected with the 80th overall pick.

Indy will continue its offseason work next week and will hold a mandatory mini-camp for all players, including rookies, in early June.
