I agree. My point was that they have no motivation to structure a deal with an easy out since they will be out with him.

I also think it is obvious that a rookie QB gives a 3-4 year salary advantage on the NFL since they make about $15 million less than even an unproven vet. You can pay buy a lot of football team with that money. That is part of why I am not very afraid of Indy going forward. Their braintrust wasted 4 years of cheap Andrew Luck and will now have to start gutting the rest of the roster to pay him (like Seattle has had to do the last year).

True. I was thinking (hoping) more from a fan's perspective on the easy-out portion.
