That was fast....Sportrac already has a lot of the contract details up on their website.

The deal was a 5 year extension so with the last year of his rookie deal, Leonard is under contract for 6 years.
However, it looks like the contract is structured similar to Braden Smith's contract where the Colts could exit the deal early with a minimal dead cap hit.
For instance, you could view this contract as a 2 year, $43.1MM extension with the Colts exiting after the 2023 season. The only dead cap hit would be the prorated portion of the signing bonus ($8MM).
