Earlier this week, Andrew Luck signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts, making him the highest paid player in NFL history. Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan essentially matched that in the moments after NBA free agency opened Friday, agreeing to a reported five-year deal worth $139 million.
