Colts owner Jim Irsay promised a "shocking" contract for his franchise quarterback Andrew Luck way back in February. That's why it wasn't shocking when the Colts announced Wednesday that Luck is signed to a six-year contract through 2021.
Luck has signed a six-year, $140 million deal with the Colts, Irsay announced. A source informed of the deal told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that Luck is now the highest paid player in the NFL. According to Rapoport, Luck will top the $22.1 million deal average salary of Joe Flacco.
