INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts have signed No. 1 overall pick Andrew
Luck.
The quarterback's agent and uncle, Will Wilson, confirmedThursday that the deal had been completed. Terms were not
immediately released.
Colts owner Jim Irsay told reporters in late April he expectedLuck's deal would be almost identical to the four-year, $22 million
contract last year's top pick, Cam Newton, signed. And the deal
came together just a day after another rookie quarterback, Robert
Griffin III, signed a four-year deal with the Washington Redskins.
The fully guaranteed deal is worth $21.1 million, and includes a
club option for a fifth year.
Luck, a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up at Stanford, will
replace Peyton Manning behind center this season.
