Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who might as well be the bane of my existence, has agreed to a monumental five-year extension to stay in Indianapolis for the foreseeable future.
Andrew has signed through 2021

Luck placed fourth on our list of the top five offensive players that Houston will have to face next season despite having a down year in 2015. Riddled with injuries and plagued by uncharacteristically poor decision-making, some thought that Luck's disappointing campaign last season would hurt his value if he tried to negotiate a new contract right now. Judging from the numbers that NFL Media's Ian Rapoport just released, those people would prove to be very, very wrong.
#Colts QB Andrew Luck's 5-year extension pays him $75M over the first 3 years, source said. Slightly less over final 2 years.

Congratulations to Luck on a contract well-earned. I still hate his guts, but the guy certainly deserves his money.
UPDATE: Wow.
For clarity's sake: Andrew Luck signed a new 6-year deal, rather than a 5-year extension to add on to his old deal (1 yr, $16.2M left).

#Colts QB Andrew Luck signed a 6-year deal worth $140M, owner Jim Irsay said. $25M per year in the first 3 years. Monster deal.
