Colts’ Pro-Bowl OL Quenton Nelson reached agreement on a precedent-setting, four-year extension averaging $20 million per year, including $60 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid guard in NFL history, per source. Colts finished the deal tonight with RJ Gonser of CAA.

The Colts tend to do very smart contracts, I hope this one is, that is a lot of money for an LG and he seems to have some back issues and that concerns me.

It was just a matter of time. Man was going to get paid. He was was on this tract since day one. He’s worth it

Won’t be until after the season but I’d wager either Kenny Moore or Okereke.

I'm hoping Ngakoue has a season that makes us break the bank to keep him.
