Wayne Resigned

[Devin]

Just one day before the Indianapolis Colts likely would have used the franchise designation to keep Reggie Wayne off the unrestricted free agent market, the team on Wednesday reached agreement with their standout wide receiver on a six-year contract extension.

The extension, which is expected to be officially executed later this week, could be worth nearly $40 million and includes bonuses totaling $13 million-$14 million.

Another excellent move by Polian. Man, I wish he was still here!

They will part ways with Edge, get in a RB of = Quality and much higher character and end up in the superbowl next year.

Re: Wayne Resigned

They better worry about signing some of their defensive FA's before they worry about Edge..

I could run for 1000 yards in that offense.

I just posted this in the wrong thread;

The fact that they resigned Wayne tells me that James will be tagged as the Colts franchise player before tomorrow afternoon.

No way CW. Polian wants him gone. Polian will sign a first round RB most likely and have better success.

I heard just the opposite this afternoon on Sirius radio. Polian intends on slapping the tag on James before COB tomorrow.

Re: Wayne Resigned

Yet, this says otherwise:

Colts | Not tagging James

Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports while the Indianapolis Colts have re-signed WR Reggie Wayne and still can use the franchise tag on another player, the team likely will not use the tag on RB Edgerrin James, due to salary cap ramifications. James has said he is prepared to play for another team in 2006.

Why? He has made it clear he doesn't want him there. Hell he allowed that moron of a agent of his to find a trade for just a 2nd rounder. Not saying I don't believe what you heard but this is a 180 from the way polian was talking/ acting.

Re: Wayne Resigned

It says right in the ESPN article that they likely WON'T tag Edge.

Well it seems you may be right, according to other reports. Oddly enough the comments I heard on Sirius earlier were based on an interview the same crew had with Polian not too long ago. Sooooo.... I guess time will only tell.

I just said that "this says otherwise". There are conflicting reports right now.
