TY Hilton signs new deal (Mega Merge)

[lollygagger8]

I wasn't sure if that was going to get done. 6 years / $65M ....wooweeee

 

[IndyD4U]

I don't care what the price is. TY is a top 5 receiver in this league.

Exactly

[TKnight24]

Whew I wasn't sure if that was going to get done.

Anxious for the details

Details have been posted, and you need a towel

13M/per.. The man deserves it..

[backshoulderfade]

He got #1 WR money. 3 million more per than Cobb. Lets see the garuntees.

Happy for him, seems like a great guy and a good father. And he can play.

Source says five years, $65M total with $39M in guarantees for TY Hilton. #Colts

For those saying $13 million is a lot, that's the new standard price for resigning elite receivers.

[Chucklez]

It's a 5 year extension on top of his current year at $65m.... so really its a 6 year $65m deal... That's like $10.8m a year... Fair for both sides I think

[TKnight24]

Congrats Big Bro @TYHilton13 !! Like we say " RESPECT"

Grigson really has to be one of the most elite deal closers ever. Players stay overnight or visit he gets them signed. Now agents sleep over and he gets extensions

:scoregood:

Is it possible to be structured in a way to pay him more this year right up to the cap? Or he's just gonna keep getting nothing this year and it will kick in next year

[pgt_rob]

Good to see TY Hilton get his extention. He deserves it and I'm happy to see him to be with the Colts for a long time.

[bababooey]

Best TY moment was that TD after his daughter was born, that was awesome

[NagelHausForge]

This is simply outstanding!  Love it and love the deal! 

[TKnight24]

Through his first 3 years, no Colts WR has more receptions, receiving yards, or 100-yard games than @TYHilton13. 2nd receiving TD.

STEEP

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I have a feeling a good handful of Colts fans will be on suicide watch when they see his yearly average. Good for TY, he deserves it, and we get to watch him and Dorsett blow the doors off of opposing secondaries for the next 4-5 years.

Why???

Are we, the fans paying him?

[lollygagger8]

$39M guaranteed?

Right.  And that $39M part is the only thing that matters. 

 

I don't know why they even advertise the number of years and total value of the contract.  I bet less than 5% of those contracts work out like that.

[mvbighead]

Yep, this pretty much how you have to look at it.  It's a good deal for both sides.

 

I hoped for less in new money, but at least this way we have one less player to worry about using a franchise tag.  Now they can have that in pocket for a TE if they want to.

 

I'd also suspect that much of this deal is back loaded, so we're probably looking at annual figures of 8 or so for the first few years.  I figure he has to have a plan as we all know that the mega deal to Luck is inevitable.

[NewEra]

I like TY but I don't think he's worth top wr $$. It's going to set a precedent for our younger we'd also. He has improved but dude drops a lot of balls.

[Valpo2004]

$39M guaranteed? 

 

 

In guarantees, not fully guaranteed.  

 

Language is important.  When they say "in guarantees" they mean "guaranteed money and guaranteed for injury only"

 

A lot of that money is guaranteed for injury.  

 

Will be eagerly awaiting over the cap to give us the full details but for now glad we locked up TY.

Too late, he's gonna be here for a while. lol

[Chucklez]

STEEP

6 years for $65m is steep for a player like TY? Are you crazy?

 

$10.8m per year is a bargain for TY!

[Narcosys]

I'm reading tweets in response to Ian Rapaport and Albert breer, people are saying good luck paying luck and we'll be in cap heck, and this is why we went bear the Pats.

By people I mean pats fans.

[BleedBlu8792]

Why???

Are we, the fans paying him?

Technically yes, if you pay for and go to the home games. The point of my post was more to the fact that quite a few "fans" seemed to think TY wasn't worth the "new market WR money" and they would be "so mad if TY didn't accept a "low ball" offer from the Colts". - my summarization

Must not know our GM is the cap Gawd

I agree, I think 13 is about what everyone predicted.  

 

I mean Maclin got like 11 million after having 1 single good season.  TY has had 3 good seasons and gotten better each season.

 

If he'd hit FA he might have commanded even more.

Whew

[backshoulderfade]

$10.8m per year is a bargain for TY!

It's 5 years 65 million. The six years are including this one where he will be payed 1.6 million.

Regardless, that's the going rate!

[pgt_rob]

STEEP

 

10.8M per year if you include this year. (6 years 65M) That's not too bad.

[OffensivelyPC]

Oh happy day! Worth every penny! Glad we locked him up.

[mattceinicram]

Great news to wake up to!

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

whooooooo Event Update the two sweetest words to wake me up, welcome back Ghost lets go get this Chip

[PeterBowman]

Its well deserved and actually a great deal for both sides

[Gavin]

Good deal for a game changing receiver, Right around where expected 12-13 mill
