He is the highest paid center in the league now. I wonder if we will have a rookie LT next year to help balance out the oline expenditure. Don’t forget Braden Smith will need a contract before Nelson.

Love it. He did a good interview about it over on dot com. He knows the game concerning contracts.

A starting QB on a rookie contract could also help the team's cap situation.

I think TheMugwump was referring to the last tweet from Zak Keefer. It showed that Big Q was signed through 2021 on his four year rookie deal.

Yeah, Zak probably could have listed as under contract through 2022 (with an asterisk) because there is about a 99.9% chance that the Colts exercise the fifth year option.
