Luck to get a record $25M a year?

Andrew Luck - QB -  Colts

Ben Volin of the Boston Globe expects Andrew Luck's next contract to be a four-year deal worth over $100 million.

The Colts have the option to franchise tag Luck in 2017, but the two sides are working to complete an extension before training camp. Luck would be smart to take a four-year deal so he can hit the market again when he's still in his prime at age 30. The former No. 1 pick is expected to become the first player in NFL history to sign a deal worth more than $25 million in annual salary.

Need to see what the guaranteed money is. Annual salary doesnt mean much.

True but I doubt Luck gets cut.  They build the whole team around him and he's their franchise QB.

Colts are stupid enough to make most of it guaranteed.

can't wait till a year or 2 from now when everyone realizes how overrated and average Luck really is.

[Mr. Scot]

Pure speculation, but Grigson is dumb enough that I wouldn't be surprised at about anything.

And over the next four years he'll keep drafting WRs and do nothing for the oline while his QB turns into an organ donor

True, but wont be able to donate the kidneys.

Luck is good. Is he highest-paid-QB good? 

Absolutely not. 

But when you have a franchise QB, you have to lock em up. I'm just glad he decided to stay in school one more year :)

Now comes the TRUE reckoning for the Colts and their Suck for Luck campaign.

I seriously want people to go back two years ago when everyone was crying about Newton's potential contract being $20M a year, saying that we should franchise tag and then trade Newton for draft picks, and we should keep drafting 1st round QBs instead of giving Newton so much of the salary cap...

I told the Huddle then that Andrew Luck's overrated self was going to get a ridiculous $25M a year deal and no one will bat an eye. I said some would even consider it a bargain for the Colts!

What I could not predict was just how awful of a season Luck would be coming off of to still get that deal.

I remember the Huddle laughing at Seattle for even THINKING about giving Wilson $17M a year saying that he was not worth it and would cripple their team.

But let me guess Huddle, Luck is totally worth it, right? Newton and Wilson totally deserves about $12M while Luck deserves about $35M, right?

Ryan Kelly is a great player and pick.  Great news for all those that want to see the crash and burn though is too little/too late after so many other stupid moves.  The rest of that division gained ground as well.

Hope he gets 40 a year.  Will only mean his team sucks for a long time

[L-TownCat]

It's already been said, but I too hope he gets that and more.
