[countryroads316]

Andrew Luck is now the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Luck signed a five-year contract extension with the Colts that keeps him in Indy through the 2021 season, the team announced Wednesday. A source informed of the contract told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that the extension pays Luck more than $75 million over the first three years and slightly less over the next two.

Wow. KC is loving this.

You have to pay to play anymore these days. Just the cost of doing business. I cant even say after they sign Kirk that that's insane... because its just what the cost is these days for a decent QB.

This is why KC wants 20m per season Redskins have a better shot in making the playoff than the Colts this year. Think about it.

Be interesting to see how the guaranteed was calculated

 

[SDGuy73]

Irsay is an idiot.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Little more detail on guarantee structure here

 

[skinsdad62]

Well I think we should all panic and plan on nate Sudfeld in 2017.

 

[Sportster 72]

No need to panic.

 

[skinsdad62]

No need to panic.

You know I am clowning don't you ? KC will be our qb for a long time

 

[Sportster 72]

Yep, all is good daddio!! It is funny how fast $44 million guaranteed doesn't seem like as much money though huh?

i don't know why certain posters are panicking. we have enough cap space next season to resign KC to a long term deal.

IM not panicking, but reality is that its not about cap space. In the past 5 years, multiple teams have been willing to give up multiple draft picks in order to draft a ROOKIE QB with no track record. Do you really think, if Cousins performs well enough to deserve being tagged again, some team that needs a QB wouldnt give up two first rounders for a some what proven QB at that point?? We gave up three firsts and a second for a kid who had not taken a snap. So if Kirk performs the way we hope, we either lose him, or we use the exclusive rights tag which is almost $30 million.

we can match the offer he gets though shark

That depends on the offer.

 

[skinsdad62]

That depends on the offer.

well when you roll the dice sometimes you lose . i think the KC thing will work itself out . if he is what we think he is he will be on our team

 

[Mitziman]

kind of crazy right? the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, yet luck has never had a season like KC did in 2015...

KC gonna get paid, as he should.

You have said that twice about Luck. In 2014 he had 4700+ yards and 40 TDs. His completion percentage wasn't as high and he threw 5 more INTs but to say Luck has never had as good a season is false. I like Cousins but lets be tell the truth.

It is the truth. Andrew Luck has never had a season where he had a 69.8 completion percentage, 70.1 QBR and a Quarterback rating of 101.6 with over 500 pass attempts in the NFL…FACT

You want truth? Morgan Moses would be a better QB than Kirk. That's why he was drafted a round ahead of him
