ANDERSON, Ind. -- The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a contract extension with fourth-year receiver T.Y. Hilton on Thursday.

The deal is for five years and is worth $65 million -- $39 million of which is guaranteed, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed.

Hilton's $39 million guaranteed is nearly twice as much guaranteed money as any other player on the Colts roster. Quarterback Andrew Luck is second on the team in that category at $22.1 million, according to the Roster Management System.

"(The Colts) showed interest that they wanted me and I also wanted to be here," Hilton said Thursday. "There's no place I rather be than here. This organization is great. I love being here.

"I didn't want to go into the season with it on my mind. I'm ready to play. (Go) to practice and give it my all."

Hilton, who is part of a talented 2012 draft class by the Colts, is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance after posting 82 receptions for 1,345 yards last season.

The 13m midget.

Wow, that's a lot..but the guy takes over games and paired with Luck, that's probably not ending anytime soon.

Is he giving Luck half of that?

Crazy Denver was able to get a better player in Sanders for $15M with only $6M guaranteed.

Another product of a once elite QB. This year...who knows what he will do with Grandpa ducking it up

Personally, I don't think he's all that good.. But they've got the QB and he works well with said QB so it was probably wise to lock him up.

Now they've got Hilton, Andre Johnson, Philip Dorsett, Donte Moncrief, Frank Gore and Coby Fleener while drawing, obviously, 6 games against the AFC South and another 4 against the NFC South.

With the Pats missing Brady for a quarter of the season and the Broncos on the decline, I wouldn't be surprised to see Indy draw the #1 seed.

Those ****ing assholes...

Totally agree. For the first time they have a reliable every down RB (although old). If Gore stays healthy and gives them 70 yards a game, they are going to control the clock which may mean their defense should play better.

Semi-related note: Luck's numbers will probably drop this year with Gore on the team after an absurd season of playing almost every terrible pass defense in the league. Moncrief is gonna be a strong WR2 pick up.

They could go 14-2 this year...that is one soft schedule.

based on article comments, Colt's fans aren't happy about the $$$$

I never understood why fans of teams in pro sports care about how much money is paid to particular player.

Just let it be. It's not like that money is coming out of their pocket anyway. Why care?

It's not about how much a player gets, but rather how the money is allocated. As in, how does it affect the team's ability to sign/re-sign other players.

I never understand how fans cant comprehend the direct correlation between overspending on inferior talent and sucking ass.

Possibly because they're educated enough to understand there's a salary cap involved? I don't know, just throwing something out there.
