I'm rooting for an OT. Get a pass rusher in the second and another OL in the mid rounds.

Colts and Andrew Luck agree to a contract extension through 2021.

highest paid player in league

 

[volfanjustin]

contract is worth $75 million over the first three years, but will be slightly less over the last two years. This means that Luck will be paid $25 million per year for his first three years of the five year extension

 

[YankeeVol]

For a guy who regressed. Awesome deal.

16% of salary cap to Luck...pretty sure no team has won a SB with 14%+ tied up in the qb

This is me guessing, maybe Peyton's SB with Colts? Possibly Brees?

Steve Young at 13.1% is the highest.

Only 5 QBs have done it with over 10%:

Peyton Manning x 2
Eli Manning
Tom Brady
Brett Favre

And pales in comparison to the highest paid players in the other 3 major leagues yet the NFL is by far the most profitable league.

Some of that's from the size of the roster comparatively, isn't it?

Any Colts fans left standing? Andrew Luck mic'd up, this is new.

Why the QBs get paid the big bucks.

Ryan Grigson said during a radio interview this week that the team has had a difficult time improving its defense because it gave quarterback Andrew Luck a new $140 million contract during the offseason.

The problem Grigson has is that the Colts have no players remaining from their 2013 draft. They also waived cornerback D'Joun Smith, the team's third-round pick in 2015, last month.

Very poor excuse, Grigson and Pagano are losers. Why was the D and oline bad before he got his contract?

Totally agree. Hate to admit it but I refuse to follow the Colts until those 2 are out.

I have been a casual NFL fan at best lately. Colts are bad, refs suck, rules are terrible and I'm tired of players antics.

All my energy have been with Vols the past 3 weeks. I've felt drained after the past 3 games. Hopefully, we can find a way to stay in the game with Alabama. Still wish Jones would go against the grain more often but have resigned myself that it isn't going to happen. The team plays very hard for him which is good.

Just not very good, you have to be descent to actually choke away a win
