What a great day for Colts fans! Or night, as it turns out to be suprisingly. One of Peyton Manning's favorite targets for the past four years, Reggie Wayne, was signed (unofficially) to a 6 year near 40 million dollar contract. Wayne and Edgerrin James were the two big names from the Colts team left with no contracts after the 2005 season ended. Now that Wayne is signed, it looks like the Colts' defacto running game, Edgerrin James, will be unlikely to return. The Indianapolis Colts are unwilling, it seems, to give James the money a back of his caliber is likely to ask for. James has been with the Colts ever since 1999, when they finally made the transition from Marshall Faulk. It has been Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning, and Edgerrin James for 7 years - likely no more. It's about time.I love James, Manning, and James. They put on a fantastic offense. Yet they are no Aikman, Smith, and Irving. The Colts trio have proven that over and over again. Clearly there needs to be a change and nomatter how much I enjoy and respect James, if he's the change, so be it. Change is good for Indianapolis - Peyton needs some reality checks, I think, along with the team itself. Indianapolis needs to transform itself from the well-oiled machine to the football beast it has to be to run for the Superbowl.
Change is painful. But change is good, change is great. So I keep telling myself.
