3. Four More Years!

Colts owner Jim Irsay just handed both Grigson and Pagano new extensions that run through the 2019 season. There’s no telling what the contract numbers are, but I imagine both are due a lot of guaranteed money remaining on those freshly inked deals.

It would be a lot of money to eat, as well as to pay for their high profile replacements (someone like Jon Gruden isn’t coming cheap to call ‘Spider 2 Y Banana’) for an owner who just happened to shell out millions upon millions of guaranteed dollars to franchise quarterback Andrew Luck–making him the highest paid player in NFL history in the process.
