Washington's: Brandon Scherff is the highest paid Guard in the NFL right now (about $15mil/year)
Highest paid Tackle is $22 mil , Texans: Tunsil.
I could see Nelson reaching close to $20 mil on an extension next year, if the Colts use the 5th year option, then tack an extension on top.
I believe his leadership/on field play (which elevates those around him also) is worth that kind of $$. He would re-write Guard contracts in the NFL.
The real question is how much total does Ballard drop into the O-line with Kelly and Smith's contracts coming up also....
