T.Y. Hilton agrees to 5-year, $65 million deal with Colts
T.Y. Hilton finally got the rich contract extension he wanted. The Indianapolis Colts got the pairing they need to remain a perennial Super Bowl contender. The Pro Bowl receiver on Thursday agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $65 million, with $39 million guaranteed. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said the deal makes Hilton the NFL’s fourth-highest paid receiver. “It takes two, you know,” Hilton said following the Colts’ workout at Anderson (Indiana) University. “They showed interest in me and I wanted to be here.” Rosenhaus said Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas will be the only receivers making more than the 25-year-old Hilton. But Hilton has something the others don’t – 25-year-old Andrew Luck, widely regarded as the NFL’s best young quarterback. – AP
