A blockbuster trade of QB's:

Colts Receive:
QB Big Ben (all of contract)
QB Hassan Schroeder (contract and $6mill of bonus)
WR Justin Hunter (all of contract)
SS Patrick Pruitt (all of contract)

Steelers Recieve:
QB Andrew Luck (all of contract)

Colts look for long term growth at QB and cap room to go in a various of ways in the future. Steelers want immediately cap space this year and less risk at QB with Big Ben's retirement imminent this year.

Justin Hunter will not be included in this deal. Please do not edit his contract.

Would like to see an explanation/reasoning from Colts on this one since it is a huge impact trade.

I am looking for long term cap freedom. Big Ben is only on a 1 yr deal. I can afford his cap hit. While getting QB of the future. Luck has a rising salary that i do not want after this year. He is also has potential to miss games. I believe this betters my team going forward while still maintaining competitiveness with Big Ben and grooming the QB of the future.

Trade approved. Main factors for approval were: 1) clear explanation and vision for team building, and 2) was able to have a commish/veteran league member vouch for owner commitment.
