Brissett signs 2 year $30 million extension

[Hoopsdoc]

Depending on the cap hit and potential dead cap money, it certainly is for the Colts.

I’m not sure if it is for Jacoby.

The quote below is from the article

f anything, Indianapolis comes away as the winner from this move. Brissett's average salary will rank 19th among quarterbacks, and many of the players below him are QBs still on their rookie contracts.

In the event Brissett isn't ultimately the long-term successor to Luck, going in a different direction after the 2019 or 2020 seasons shouldn't be too difficult for the Colts.

Brissett might have cost himself some money down the road by agreeing to terms now, but the door will be open for him in two years to either get a hefty raise via the franchise tag or a longer, more lucrative extension.

I'm suprised he took the lower money. But he works out, the Colts caught a huge break

Holder says it’s a new two year deal ($30MM for 2019-2020). Makes a lot more sense for Brissett now.

Yeah I gotta believe this is a "we're going to make sure you feel like you are taken care of this year and we'll pay you well for your services now, but understand, it's on you, carry us to the promised land and we'll tear this up in Feb and start over and this will look like peanuts, but if you don't, this is all you're getting from us" type deal...

If he plays well, and he doesn't sign an extention, they could be forced to put the franchise tag on him. Thats $15 million a year, all on that years cap.

Closer to $18MM. Maybe $20MM next year.

For perspective, Mike Glennon got 3/$45MM from the Bears two years ago, then the Bears drafted Trubisky. Colts could take a similar path. This extension doesn’t prohibit any direction they decide to take.

Considering I feel Brissett is a Prescott type player, And Dak wants $40 frieken mil now...I'd say this is a bargain.
Granted many will point out Brissett hasn't 'earned' starting $ yet..but the fact is, he is the starter, and should be getting more that what he was being paid.
Next year, Luck's contract will be basically void, (i think about 6.5 mil of signing bonus is paid, and that's it) So It's not like Indy is losing $$ in this deal in any way. They'll still have more cap space next year than this year..lol.

A bit rich for my blood. I would have just assumed wait to see how he does before talking extension with him, given his limited track record (he threw only 4 passes all last year). However, listening to some of your comments I can see the rationale for doing it now I guess. That said, as we sit here today, I would have pegged his value on a new two-year contract at about $8-10 million per, particularly since we already had him locked in at $2-3 million this year.

But the Colts certainly know him better than I do, and I guess I could look at it as a positive that they like him enough to pay him that much (there’s also the lingering issue that we don’t know all the contract details yet, specifically what the $20 million is guaranteed against).

Pretty sure it is guaranteed against not getting paid it.
