Entering a contract year, Indianapolis Colts All-Pro offensive guard Quenton Nelson is solely focused on winning more football games this season, and is admittedly ‘all-ball’ right now.
Specifically, he’s rightfully deferring to his agent representation regarding any lucrative, ongoing contract negotiations with the only professional football team he’s ever played for (via The Athletic’s James Boyd):
Having turned 30-years-old this past March, the 6x NFL All-Pro and 8x NFL Pro Bowler now finds himself as the elder statesman of the Colts offensive line room—especially after fellow Indianapolis offensive line pillars such as Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith have since departed the organization in consecutive offseasons respectively.
While Spotrac projects his current market value at $23.2 million per year,that seems low given the current frenzied market and inflation of modern NFL free agency. Rather, that number should be closer to $30 million per year, and the Colts may do well to lock up Nelson for the rest of his clearly Canton-bound career.
