Andrew Luck was suppose to set the precendent for quarterback salaries, in the future. Many people predicted that he would command a deal that paid him $25 million per year. However, by signing a deal worth $140 million, he did become the highest paid player in the NFL, but did not skew the numbers. The $23.3 million per year is only slightly higher than the $22.1 and $22.0 million that Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers earn per year. A big part of this contract was the $87 million in guaranteed money. Luck had an injury prone 2016 season, and will need to come back strong to prove that he is worthy of being the highest paid player, in the NFL. His 4.8% touchdown rate ties him for 53rd on the all-time TD percentage list and is 1.6% lower than Aaron Rodgers. People argue that Luck throws two many interceptions, but his INT percentage rate is only 2.6% which puts him in a tie at 20th. Oh by the way, he is tied with Joe Montana, Steve Young, Cam Newton, and a handful of other quarterbacks. Who won with this deal, the Colts or Luck? Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
