Indianapolis, Ind. – Quarterback Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts have reached an agreement on a six-year contract extension that will keep him in Indianapolis through 2021. Luck is now the highest-paid player in NFL history.
The deal was first announced by Colts owner Jim Irsay on Twitter:
The deal is worth $139 million, with $87 million guaranteed. The deal will pay $25 million a year over the next three years.
Luck was taken No. 1 overall in the 2012 draft, and immediately gave the Colts an optimistic outlook on the future of the franchise.
In four seasons, Luck has thrown for 14,838 yards, 101 touchdowns, and 55 interceptions.
