Ryan Grigson is blaming Andrew Luck's new six-year, $139.125 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts for his inability to build a solid defense around him.
“When you pay Andrew what we did, it’s going to take some time to build on the other side of the ball,” Grigson said.
The Colts have paid Luck a lot less than the Broncos paid Peyton Manning while they built the defense that won them the Super Bowl last year.
Luck also was an underpaid quarterback for the first four seasons in the NFL on a rookie contract with him just now becoming expensive.
