Despite a relatively subpar 2015-16 season, the Indianapolis Colts had no issue handing out a hefty chunk of cash to franchise quarterback Andrew Luck.
Luck earned a five-year extension that's going to make him a very wealthy man:
$140 Million over 6 Years... Biggest Contract in NFL History... Congrats to #12!!!

#Colts QB Andrew Luck's 5-year extension pays him $75M over the first 3 years, source said. Slightly less over final 2 years.

Over four seasons with the Colts, Luck has thrown for nearly 15,000 yards, 101 touchdowns, 87 interceptions, completed 58 percent of his passes and has an 85 quarterback rating.
He's coming off his worst season as a pro, where he tossed just 15 touchdowns to 12 interceptions in an injury-riddled season.
