Colts left tackle Bernhard Raimann gets 4-year, $100 million deal
Team officials made the announcement Tuesday before practice.
The Austrian-born Raimann started his college career at Central Michigan as a tight end. Indy thought he could be its swing tackle when it drafted him in the third round out of Central Michigan in 2022.
But injuries forced Raimann into the lineup at left tackle and he blossomed into one of the team's top offensive linemen. Raimann said last week at training camp that he wasn't sure his agent and the Colts were on the same page regarding an extension.
Things changed quickly, though, and now they have him locked up for four more years.
'Bernhard has worked extremely hard, and this contract extension is a testament to his character, dedication and persistence,' general manager Chris Ballard said in a statement. 'He exemplifies each of our team's four pillars and is a leader in our locker room. I'm excited for him and his family on this well-deserved contract extension.'

Aston Villa signs forward Evann Guessand from French club Nice
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Aston Villa made its first major signing of the summer by landing Ivory Coast forward Evann Guessand from French club Nice for a reported fee of at least 30 million euros ($35 million) on Friday. The 24-year-old Guessand scored 13 goals in total last season playing mainly as a winger and was named Nice's player of the season. Villa described him as 'a versatile operator capable of playing across the front line.' Neither team disclosed financial terms. The deal reportedly includes another 5 million euros in potential add-ons. 'This club is special,' Guessand said in Villa's announcement. 'History, pride, passion, the belief. When I heard the club wanted me, I didn't think twice.' Unai Emery's team begins its Premier League campaign Aug. 16 when it hosts Newcastle. Nice issued a statement hailing the French-born Guessand as a 'model of resilience.' He rose through the team's youth system and made his first-team debut in January 2020. ___ AP soccer:

Angry fans attacked Sevilla's facility after a loss in May. Police are now making arrests
SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Four people have been arrested for their alleged roles in a May 10 attack on Sevilla's training facilities following the soccer team's loss to Celta Vigo. The players stayed overnight at the complex because of security concerns created by a large group of fans who forced their way into the Jose Ramon Cisneros Palacios training ground. Supporters, many of whom concealed their faces, broke down a metallic gate at an entrance for cars into the training grounds and caused damage inside the property. The club had condemned what it called 'organized vandalism.' Sevilla, which barely avoided relegation last season, had lost 3-2 at Vigo and the violence kicked off after the team bus arrived at the grounds. Spanish sports daily Marca reported Friday that the National Police made four arrests and that the investigation was ongoing. There was no other information about identities, charges, or court dates.
