    5 year, $ 65M total ($13M / year), $39M guaranteed.

    Also they are talking about extending several others. We know that Luck will get a big contract ... where will they get all of this money from? Or do they just cut the entire defense lol

    way overpaid. Im not sure how the colts are going to keep this team together for very long putting nearly all their money into 4 offensive players

    Kendal Wright would be right there with T.Y. Hilton or possibly better with a QB worth a damn. If the Titans pay 13m/yr to Wright, I'll be pissed.

    Deal was for an another 5 years on top of this year, so its $11M/yr

    I was going off of the original post. But still, 11 mil a year seems a little steep.

    Wright isn't far off statistically...what would you put his value at? And do you agree that with a decent/stable QB position that Wright would be the same player or better?

    I project Wright to be around the 1000 mark annually, maybe not hit 1000 every year but be in that neighborhood, with around 8-9 TD range. Traditionally thats been worth $6M/yr (which the team is cool paying him) his 5th year option is costing us $7M, so Id be perfectly content keeping Wright at his current cost..

    Exactly... 7-8 a year I wouldn't get upset. But a player of the same caliber costing 11+M/yr...no thanks. That 3-4M/yr is more effective going to other players instead of throwing it at one player IMO.

    I think this will be a big year for Wright though. All indications are that him and Mariota have chemistry and he's a good safety valve. Bad part is, a good season will increase his market value along with contract like Hilton just signed.

    This signing seems to make their decision to draft a WR in the 1st round even more confusing.

    A lot of $ and draft picks committed to 1 position, and there are only so many balls to go around..
