Colts | Andrew Luck signs extension

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck signed a five-year extension through 2021 Wednesday, June 29.

Footballguys View: The Colts know that Luck can be the best QB in the league, and it’s no surprise they would lock him up at this point. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Luck’s five-year extension is actually a six-year deal. It is worth a little more than $139 million in total, which is a new NFL record. It also comes with $87 million in guaranteed money, also an all-time record. With new contract in hand, Luck should be in for a high-end QB1 season for fantasy owners.

Titans | Dorial Gree-Beckham has been studying

Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham said he’s been studying his playbook a lot this offseason and furthering his knowledge on what his assignments are. Head coach Mike Mularkey said Green-Beckham has improved this offseason, but he wants to see more in order for the young receiver to reach his full potential.

Footballguys View: Green-Beckham is far from a finished product, and it’s good to hear that he’s doing everything he can to improve. From a physical standpoint, Green-Beckham is big, fast and can win at the point of the catch. From a technical point of view, the second-year pro needs to refine his routes and learn how to set up defenders better. The Titans are going to have a run-heavy offense, so the passing game numbers will be limited. Green-Beckham has a current ADP of WR40 (9.01) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Vikings | Cordarrelle Patterson admits to slacking

Minnesota Vikings WR Cordarrelle Patterson admitted that after he was the No. 29 overall pick in 2013, he didn’t always work as hard as he should have. ‘Sometimes you can be here and you feel like you’ve got to be on the team,’ Patterson said. ‘You feel like, ‘Yeah, I’m a first-round pick, I’m on the team.’ Things like that, sometimes they make you not work hard, they make you don’t want to do things, make you be lazy.’ Patterson had 45 catches for 469 yards in his rookie season but lost his starting job midway through 2014 and had just two catches for 10 yards in 2015.
