They were never going to let him get away.

That's good money for a #2 man.

He's really more a 1A these days; will soon replace Harrison, unless Harrison pulls a Jerry Rice.

That's crazy. I think Indy is screwing themselves with the money they're dumping into that offense.

KCJake · 02-22-2006, 02:52 PM

Damn! Im pretty sure that makes him the third highest paid WR in NFL history.

Six years? No kiddin'.....now that I think about it. Crap, that's a minimum of $4 million per year (more like 9-10 million in years 4-5), cap hit...

OUCH!

Good lord... I guess they're settled in with Edge's backup (Rhodes) leading the charge this next season.

**Dunit35** · 02-22-2006, 03:05 PM

I would have given that kind of money to somewhere else. Maybe some more defensive help.

Or maybe now they'll use the tag on Edge to prevent the Broncos from going after him.

Oh well, the Donks can always turn their attention back to Ricky.

If I'm not mistaken...between Manning, Harrison, and Wayne... they've given them almost $200 million dollars in contracts with almost $70 million in guaranteed bonus money. That's pretty impressive.

The Colts have re-signed alot of their offensive weapons to BIG-TIME contracts. It will be interesting to see how they handle the Edgerrin James situation.

**Dunit35** · 02-22-2006, 03:15 PM

Do they have an extension on their cap money or something? Denver style or what.

People used to bag on Jimmy Irsay for being a cheapass, greasy, druggie, salesman-type, but I have to give him credit for 1) apparently spending his own money since neither the city nor the stadium is providing him with any extra revenue, and 2) hiring the Broncos former capologist/accountant to fit all these salaries in under their cap.

A new stadium is on the way. I'm sure that will help down the road bring in a ton of revenue. They are still really forced to draft really well though, because that's how they have to build the large majority of their team.
