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.

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?

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

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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
