    $87M guaranteed. Wow that seems like such a huge gamble.

    Much deserved in my opinion. As crazy as that sound considering his step back from 2015, Luck will be a much better Quarterback this season. Ryan Kelly is going to give that line a boost whether the South likes it or not and La'Raven Clark is athletic and strong enough to hold down the Right Tackle spot. With Costanzo and Reitz.. the line should be better. The only questions now are that how long will it take for their offensive line to solidify and where the heck is their pass rush?

    Monopoly money? Just a quick question, what will the owners do when the TV money dries up? With people
    using Netflix Amazon, Google, Apple. Where will the revenue come from? It is scary the type of money being thrown around.

    From what I have heard, aside from the 87 mil guaranteed, it didn't blow up the QB market like they thought it would. It's only about 2.5 million more then Flacco gets a year.

    They said that future QB's are disappointed with this amount because Luck had the Colts over a barrel and could have set a much higher market.

    As a full fledged capitalist, I wholly congratulate the guy. He has shown that he can sling it all over the yard and he's a great athlete. My buddy is a die hard Colts fan and he says the main reason Luck hasn't looked as good lately is that he doesn't have any weapons.

    If he doesn't have any weapons then why did they give a 65 million$ contract to Ty Hilton last year??? And that big contract to Hilton tells us the kind of money AB is going to want on his new deal only more than any 65 mill......

    I talked about this on steeler talk, they also gave 43 million to their OT castonzo last year, with a 26 ranked defense they are spending all their cap on offense when they have a defense that cant stop anyone...

    I honestly thought that guaranteed money would exceed 90-95 million. Interesting it did not however.... so much for the 2017 draft class and beyond haha.
