Andrew Luck’s Contract With Colts Will Be Worth $22 Million
When No. 1 overall picks Andrew Luck signs with Indianapolis, it is expected to be a four-year deal worth just over $22 million.

Under the new CBA, agreed upon last summer, there’s very little room for the agents of draft picks to negotiate. The Colts should have Luck signed pretty quickly, agreeing to a deal that will be a slight increase over what Cam Newton got from Carolina as last year’s No. 1 pick.
