Quenton Nelson, an offensive lineman for the Colts, robbed a bank the night before the season's first game.
It was announced last night. The agreement has been broken down for us. The specifics of Nelson's four-year, $80 million agreement are listed below.
2. Fully guaranteed $4 million basic salary through 2022.
3. Fully guaranteed $6 million basic salary through 2023.
4. Base wage for 2024: $19 million, fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2023 league year and guaranteed for injury at signing.
5. $2 million 90-man roster bonus for 2025.
6. Base salary for 2025: $14.563 billion.
7. $2 million 90-man roster bonus for 2026.
8. Base salary for 2026: $16 million.
The agreement pays out $41 million fully guaranteed at signing, with a practical guarantee of $60 million since another $19 million vests next March. It is as straightforward and uncomplicated as significant contracts have ever been.
Nelson completely reset the guard market by a staggering $3.5 million a year in new money, averaging over the $16.5 million Brandon Scherff received from the Jaguars. Nelson earns the third-highest guarantee of any offensive lineman and the most excellent signing bonus.
It makes no sense. Nelson has always been a great player and has changed the mindset of the entire team's wall of blockers.
