Colts resign Reggie Wayne

Huge move by the Colts.

I was sure he would hit the FA market.

I guess Edge is out though.

Yeah, I thought they'd lock up Wayne. They were really pushing hard to get him re-signed.

Edge is gone of course.

Think of the money they've sunk into a QB and two WRs. Wow.

 

2 WR's paid in the Top 3 of their position on the same team. That is crazy.

 

i like the move, they'res enough quality FA backs that would do fine in that system not to mention they have rhoades

 

Wow, a lot of money. I'm surprised he got that much.

 

If anything I think that Wayne is a product of their system. I think they were so scared to let him go because there were no quality replacements.

I still think they have to sign Edge or at least sign him to a tender or something. James is a Hall of Famer and has put up crazy numbers. Wayne isnt really that much of a difference maker, but James is.

 

No way! Have you seen some of the plays reggie wayne made? All you have to do is watch the playoff game against the steelers again. I used to think the same thing, but this year he definately proved me wrong.

 

I think coach Manning got his hands into this... I said Manning? I meant Dungy :smile:

 

I was so sure he was going to leave and become a #1 receiver, but for that money, I guess he plans to wait a few years.

 

Perhaps, marvins gotta slow down one of these years right?

 

Or perhaps he knows he is already on a superbowl calibur team?

 

They should try to trade up for LenDale but more likely will settle for Maroney...

 

i think maroney may go before lendale is he runs a 4.3
