The Indianapolis Colts never wavered in their belief of franchise quarterback Andrew Luck while he was sidelined by a shoulder injury for the entirety of last season.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard turned down a trade offer from the Cleveland Browns ahead of the 2017 trade deadline, a source told FOX Sports' Jay Glazer.

Luck has four years left on a five-year, $122.97-million contract extension he signed in 2016, according to Over The Cap.

He made his regular-season return on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. His last game was Jan. 1, 2017.

The soon-to-be 29-year-old completed 20 of 32 pass attempts in the preseason for 204 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
