Wait wait wait, Fully Guaranteed?!?! Wth over 

[azcolt]

Lot of cash for a mediocre SEC QB

Apparently he got his signing bonus in a lump some instead of separate payments.  I guess it’s the first time a QB picked that high has got it in a lump some.

I think both Stroud and Young got it too. The AR deal was waiting on there’s to close.

Was it ever really a question?   The 3 guys came back to Indy for training camp and signed.   You can't sign if you're not here.   

[Aces101]

Can’t wait to try to meet AR on Friday!! Hope my mixture of Colts and Gators gear catches his attention….LOL

Not really.   Pretty small contract in comparison

Richardson was here. James Boyd was actually playing basketball with him last week.

Guess it was the first 4th overall pick to get it.

I’ve gone on record saying I am not a fan for the pick but these things are slotted now.

[IinD]

Every 1st round pick last year had fully guaranteed contracts.

Yes.   It happens every year

[John Hammonds]

Glad it's finally done.  Everybody can show up tomorrow.  *whew*

I just think he needs too much work and the success rate of those kinds of players is low.  I hope he does work out though and am pulling for him.

[craigerb]

$2M difference between each of the first three QBs.

[CR91]

Kinda surprised these contracts were done the day before training camp. I'm guessing they were away from Indy to sign the contracts

Welcome to the world of the internet.   There are so many tools that let you sign documents remotely.   These days, it’s an everyday thing.

I used to wear it when Mike Peterson and Antonio Morrison were playing LB for the Colts too.

Those can easily be staged for the camera if need be. 
 

Or….   The players arrived yesterday or this morning and signed at the facility today.  
 

Really, this isn’t hard…..

Yea but with million dollar contracts, usually have to be witnessed and notarized. A lot harder to do that digitally

I can’t wait until this kid comes in and balls out.

Did people actually believe he wouldn’t get signed?

It was either him or pretty boy Levis. I think I would go with AR. AR's athleticism alone will allow him to do many things many other QB's can't do. I think he will be fine. 

 

To the people that think he can't throw, must have missed the Utah and Tennessee games - (both teams were top 10 teams)where he was the best player on the field.

Apparently 

[lollygagger8]

Glad he got signed and it's done with. 

 

But these guaranteed numbers (not just his contract but all players) are insanity!
