The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension with three-time All-Pro Quenton Nelson on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal includes $60 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid guard in NFL history.
Nelson, a first-round pick in the 2018 draft, was approaching the end of his rookie contract. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Aug. 10 the Colts were looking to give him a new deal and hopeful of getting something done by the end of the month.
The 26-year-old was in a great position to become the highest-paid guard in the league, surpassing Brandon Scherff's $16.
