Considering I feel Brissett is a Prescott type player, And Dak wants $40 frieken mil now...I'd say this is a bargain.
Granted many will point out Brissett hasn't 'earned' starting $ yet..but the fact is, he is the starter, and should be getting more that what he was being paid.
Next year, Luck's contract will be basically void, (i think about 6.5 mil of signing bonus is paid, and that's it) So It's not like Indy is losing $$ in this deal in any way. They'll still have more cap space next year than this year..lol.

Clearly they believe in him and Reich calling him a top 20 QB was not him just BSing. With the CAP space we have I am good with this, not sure he can really be a franchise QB, but I will trust Reich and Ballard on this.

Surprises me they didn't just give him the year to play it out and then see if he deserves an extension

But then when you sign your back up $4 million a year and 9 guaranteed, that could easily have become an issue as the year went on

They backed themselves into this corner where they had to pay him top 20 money to confirm the earlier statement.

Irsay and Ballard are not messing around. They just spent a bunch of money to solidify the QB position.

They said this wasnt a lost season. Nice to see no half measures

Can’t be, too many other position groups are lined up? If we try for a rookie, by the time he comes around several of our top guys will be declining. Have to go all out.

Heh I say that and we have like 60 million in the bank.

I can see us grabbing a QB like a Jordan Love in next draft and let him develop under Brisset.

A bit rich for my blood. I would have just assumed wait to see how he does before talking extension with him, given his limited track record (he threw only 4 passes all last year). However, listening to some of your comments I can see the rationale for doing it now I guess. That said, as we sit here today, I would have pegged his value on a new two-year contract at about $8-10 million per, particularly since we already had him locked in at $2-3 million this year.

But the Colts certainly know him better than I do, and I guess I could look at it as a positive that they like him enough to pay him that much (there’s also the lingering issue that we don’t know all the contract details yet, specifically what the $20 million is guaranteed against).

Pretty sure it is guaranteed against not getting paid it.
