Andrew Luck is now a very wealthy man, but will his new contract hamper his teams’ ability to win championships for the next six seasons?
The big news yesterday was Andrew Luck signing a six-year, $140 million contract extension with the Indianapolis Colts. As absurdly rich as that contract is, I wanted to make it look even more absurd by comparing it to the Denver Broncos in some way.
The actual contract value is six years, $139.125 million, with a total of $87 million in guarantees. Only $44 million is fully guaranteed, but another $16 million becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2017 league year.
