YoloinOhio Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Colts reportedly offered Andrew Luck a 10-year deal http://horseshoeheroes.com/2016/06/08/colts-reportedly-offered-andrew-luck-a-10-year-deal/ Colts owner Jim Irsay, meanwhile, told WISH-TV in Indianapolis in February that Luck’s deal would be “shocking.” It appears he was referring to both term and overall dollar figure. Irsay, sources say, originally wanted Luck under contract for 10 years — essentially a lifetime contract that would be a rarity in the NFL. Once the organization came off that offer and settled on a more realistic five-or-six-year offer, the gap closed.
NoSaint Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 wed be talking, what, 10 years 250 mill at that point?
Mr. WEO Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Strange offer. This isn't the NBA or MLB, so what would be the point for either side? How much could be guaranteed? The length of the contract is meaningless really. If he sucks after a few years, he's either dead money or untradeable. If he's the best in the league year after year, he will be underpaid at some point.

If he's the best in the league year after year, he will be underpaid at some point. it would have to have, what, 5-6 years guaranteed to have a player consider it? just spitballing here, but definitely half or so seems about right as a jumping off. at that point theyve telegraphed to the agent that he can get $120m guaranteed on a shorter deal potentially. might see pretty close to 100% on this one i think.
TheFunPolice Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 would a great young QB take a slightly less inflated contact if it was 100% guaranteed? From the team's perspective, if he's great you're paying the $$ anyway. Maybe you get an extra year for your $$

K D Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 They do it in baseball all the time and it's guaranteed. Bryce Harper might get a 12-15 yr contract
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 They do it in baseball all the time and it's guaranteed. Bryce Harper might get a 12-15 yr contract Injury risk is probably greatest in NFL.
K D Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Injury risk is probably greatest in NFL. That's true but the NFL will never admit to that but we all know that's why
machine gun kelly Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Irsay has now moved onto sniffing glue. Just kidding, but this wreaks of a PR stunt. I'm sure Luck will get a great contract, and e'd be lucky to have a generational talent like him. F the Colts would build an O-Line, and running game around, not to mention a defense, maybe he wouldn't be getting the serious injuries he had last year. Could you imagine him with our team? Our defense should bounce back, the line and the running game. Sorry, daydreaming for a minute.

Irsay keeps saying the deal is going to be "shocking" and "monstrous" How about fielding a good team around the QB too
Saxum Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 For that big of a contract he might as well guarantee partial ownership of the team. And what happens if he loses his desire to play like a lot of athletes after they get the big contract and they know no more are coming?

PromoTheRobot Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 What should you pay Andrew Luck.... Now here's a problem I wish the Bills had.Really? You'd be comfortable paying him after the season he had?
NoSaint Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Really? You'd be comfortable paying him after the season he had? generally, yes. you know he has the physical skills when healthy. mentally hes there. hes put up multiple big years.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) generally, yes. you know he has the physical skills when healthy. mentally hes there. hes put up multiple big years. Of course you would based on what he's done so far. I was just imagining if Luck were a Bill and had that season in a contract year. TSW would go full retard. Edited June 9, 2016 by PromoTheRobot
