Andrew Luck Signs Contract Through 2021

Both the Indianapolis Colts and Owner Jim Irsay tweeted that quarterback Andrew Luck has signed a new contract with the team. The new contract will keep Luck with the Colts until 2021.

Irsay tweeted that Luck has been signed to a 6 year contract totaling $140 million. This includes the remaining year on his current contract. In total, Luck will be paid $140 million over the next six years, working out to about $23.3 million per season, on the average.

Reports are also coming in that Luck's deal pays him a whopping $87 million guaranteed. Previously, the largest guarantee to a QB was $65 million (Eli Manning and Philip Rivers).

As a part of the deal, Luck will receive $32 million as a signing bonus and will have a $12 million base salary for this year. Which means that $44 million is headed Luck's way this year alone.
