Per @spotrac, the new deal makes Anthony Castonzo the highest paid LT in the NFL by AAV.

And Stephen Holder had this first, but Castonzo's plan is now to play at least two more years and then reassess where he's at, per source

That extra year he plans to play, I'd say, makes the Colts breathe a little easier about getting a possible replacement this year.

One of the biggest dominoes of Castonzo's return: Now the Colts don't have to heavily consider the offensive tackle position in the first round of the draft.

At 13th overall, still thinking WR, QB + DL are the positions of greatest need.

The Colts were the only team in the NFL to start the same five offensive linemen in every game for 2019.

With Anthony Castonzo's two-year extension, they will now enter 2020 with the same starting OL for the third straight year. Rare continuity and an excellent group.
