Quarterback is NFL's highest-paid player at $140 million for 6 years.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay spoke with reporters on a conference call Wednesday after quarterback Andrew Luck signed a six-year, $140-million contract to become the NFL’s highest-paid player in history.
A transcript has been provided by the Colts.
“Obviously the organization is excited about getting this deal done and getting it done before the Fourth of July. You know, Andrew is very deserving. It’s a big number at six years and right at just about 140 million dollar-wise. But it was a deal that was a fair deal for both sides, taking into account being cap friendly, being reasonable in the last year, also, in 2021.
