Beef Jerky Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Signed through 2021 more details to come. "Worth mentioning -- Luck's contract is up a year after the current CBA expires, and a year before the current TV deals are done." #Colts QB Andrew Luck's 5-year extension pays him $75M over the first 3 years, source said. Slightly less over final 2 years. $140 million over 6 years Edited June 30, 2016 by Beef Jerky
Beef Jerky Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Early indication say it is bigger then Flaccos $22.1 per year. #Colts QB Andrew Luck's 5-year extension pays him $75M over the first 3 years, source said. Slightly less over final 2 years. Andrew Luck takes new crown of highest player in NFL history. Let's see how long it lasts. Sal Capaccio (@SalSports) tweeted at 3:30 PM on Wed, Jun 29, 2016: Unofficially, I believe 11 NFL QBs are now making $20M or more per season average. 17 of them are making $18M or more. Amazing.

prissythecat Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Why would they pay that much for the Emperor's New Clothes
BarleyNY Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Why would they pay that much for the Emperor's New Clothes He's all that they have. That FO has been horrible at adding talent, with the exception of the Luck pick that they tanked for.
YoloinOhio Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I'm sure he'd happily re-direct some of that for a better OL.
Saxum Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 If you are being paid that much you should not need as good as OL.
YoloinOhio Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) If you are being paid that much you should not need as good as OL.i believe you think like their FO. That may be true that he doesn't but he also needs to stay healthy. Edited June 29, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Saxum Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 i believe you think like their FO. That may be true that he doesn't but he also needs to stay healthy. My point is that if you are absorbing that much of salary cap then you need to do more with less - it is a zero sum game and money being paid you could be used elsewhere.
K D Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 And that's the end of the Colts. 52 other players that have to get paid. At least Baltimore won a SB before blowing their money on Flacco. Throwing all of your money at a QB never works
Dorkington Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 And that's the end of the Colts. 52 other players that have to get paid. At least Baltimore won a SB before blowing their money on Flacco. Throwing all of your money at a QB never works The experts say that the only player that matters is the QB though!

Throwing all of your money at a QB never works Then it'll work out nicely as the rest of their roster isn't very good.
3rdand12 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Tyrod will get 144 next year I hope he deserves every penny. Luck just spent nine weeks out of the game and not so good when in. Crazy days. But i do hope Mr Tyrod gets his, and for all the right reasons
Blokestradamus Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I'm not exactly in the 'Luck is the best QB in the NFL' brigade but this should surprise nobody. If this is the price of keeping him, it's a smaller price than not having him. I would've thought that the Colts would've resisted making the same mistakes that they made with Peyton in roster building but it appears not. Luck can't overcome insufficient talent every year. As much as I love Hilton/Moncrief, they're no Harrison/Wayne. I hope they can add enough that he can flourish because he has an undeniably ridiculous skill set.

You might think they would have put more effort into protecting him the last couple seasons if Colts had any sense ?
Blokestradamus Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 You might think they would have put more effort into protecting him the last couple seasons if Colts had any sense ? Some Colts fans that I frequently interact with don't think their OL was as bad in 2015 as the vast majority make out. One of the things I'm interesting in doing is going back over his 2015 games to see how much truth there is to that suggestion. On paper, their OL doesn't look like it should be anything higher than middle of the pack.
