How do the Colts have enough cap room to keep all these players? IMO the fact that Mannings commanding a cap number of 15 million per year is crippling his own organization. The guy could easily get endorsement deals to compensate for money he gave back to the team. However as long as it makes it harder for the Colts to win a Super Bowl I'm all for it.

probably 7-8mill minimum... heard 4mill, that's surprising though... moss and moulds each make over 7, but moulds will be released and i guess no one else is in their big payoff years in 2006...

Mort said they will likely let Vanderjagt and E. James go because Wayne is their #1 priority.

Sounds to me like Gibbs is giving us a glimpse of the future, he's going to make sure things remain on track while Williams and co. take over the coaching duties, basically he's going to hold Williams hand until he can run the team smoothly on his own, smart move.

They've been acting like they were gonna let Edge go since last year. They were saying that they could close the same kind of production out of Dominic Rhodes. I think that's a mistake, but that's the way the Colts have been looking at it since they franchised Edge last season.

Does this mean that Saunders will talk to Brunell? Or does it mean that Saunders will talk to Gibbs who will talk to Brunell?

I'm guessing Saunders will talk to the QB with Gibbs being on the headsets as well.

I'm not. Not to take anything away from E. James, it's typically easier to replace a running back than it is to develop and work in a new wide receiver. Manning and Wayne have excellent chemistry. Good, serviceable running backs are much easier to come by.

yup. and without a running game (mungro is also a free agent but not a franchise back) let's see how well peyton flourishes.
