I could see Nelson reaching close to $20 mil on an extension next year, if the Colts use the 5th year option, then tack an extension on top.

I believe his leadership/on field play (which elevates those around him also) is worth that kind of $$. He would re-write Guard contracts in the NFL.

The real question is how much total does Ballard drop into the O-line with Kelly and Smith's contracts coming up also....
Yup Nelson is expected to blow that out of the water. Lot of money going into that oline. And not a franchise QB in sight. Be interesting to see what happens. Go after Aaron Rodgers next?
